Re: Flying MBs
I have flown a hang glider, not the easiest to fly. Rookies can get into a sharp and unrecoverable turn and fly back into the hill you jumped from- ouchy at best. I have flown a few different ultralights and the lighter the better.
Right now we are working on re-habbing a Legal Eagle part 103 legal ultralight with a half VW engine. It takes off at 30 mph, about the slowest you'll find except for a powered parachute, those take off, climb, descend and land at around 25-28 mph.
