**tony286** · 08-27-2008, 06:35 PM

looks like one of the buddy holly type planes too scary for me. lol

**Evil Chris** · 08-27-2008, 06:37 PM

Very cool JFK... I didn't know you were a pilot.

**stickyfingerz** · 08-27-2008, 06:40 PM

Damn that is crazy. So are those still non license ? Looks quite a bit more advanced than the old canvas and aluminum pipe ones hehe.

**Mr Pheer** · 08-27-2008, 06:41 PM

Not a whole lot different from the Pulsar XP that I owned.

**JFK** · 08-27-2008, 06:45 PM

this an advanced ultralight power glider, amazing to see it take off and soar

Looks pretty neat

The guy giving the demos, is an Air Canada pilot with about 18k+ hours he put the Samba tru its paces had my stomach up in my throat

**klaze** · 08-27-2008, 07:30 PM

my balls are far too small.

there is always time to grow a set

if you think those are bad, check this out, looks like its held together with string and chewing gum

Yet it took off in about 50 feet and looked like it flew really well

**GrouchyAdmin** · 08-27-2008, 11:42 PM

That looks far too similar to the ultralight Denver died in for my comfort. Sure, they all look similar, but still!

**born4porn** · 08-27-2008, 11:47 PM

JFK, that looks like way 2 much fun!

**DWB** · 08-28-2008, 01:35 AM

**JesseD** · 08-28-2008, 05:39 AM

I really can't believe some of the contraptions that people are willing to get into.

Is part of the thrill of getting into a tin can like this 1000's of feet up in the air knowing that you can die?

**Grapesoda** · 08-28-2008, 05:41 AM

What a toy

**kelly kola** · 08-28-2008, 05:42 AM

So so cool...would love to learn to fly, but scares me half to death...even though your chances are better in a car accident!! And that's a proven fact but still....you figure that out!!

**Kenny B!** · 08-28-2008, 05:43 AM

Those are cool, a good buddy just got his teaching license, I'm looking forward to going up with him.

**RayVega** · 08-28-2008, 06:13 AM

I know this is a really stupid question...I don't know much about ultralight's, but where's the steering wheel???

**MediaManiac** · 08-28-2008, 06:16 AM

nice! but too scary for me..

**PersianKitty** · 08-28-2008, 06:22 AM

Several years ago we went to Oregon for the Red Bull Flugtag where toss homemade man-powered flying contraptions over the river. It's insane what people come up with to try to make fly.

Not that those are on the same level as ultra-lights. At least an ultra-light looks like a plane.

JFK.. is there anywhere you go without a camera? ;)

PK

**Vegas Ken** · 08-28-2008, 06:25 AM

Thanks for sharing the pics!

How long can you stay up in the air in one of those?

**PersianKitty** · 08-28-2008, 06:26 AM

Did you just ask him how long he can keep it up? ..hehe

**Odie** · 08-28-2008, 06:32 AM

that's so cool Jules!! Good luck with that...too scarey for me!

**webcams_sean** · 08-28-2008, 06:33 AM

Combat Flight Simulator is about as far I want to go.

**tranza** · 08-28-2008, 06:34 AM

Pretty cool...you had a great fun time huh? Nice!

**Sid70** · 08-28-2008, 06:46 AM

gay alert

or a stick shift?

**crockett** · 08-28-2008, 07:22 AM

I always enjoyed this little airplane.. Was built by the Late Leeon Davis and was called the DA-11.. It's a home built airplane that he made just to show that airplanes could be affordable.

It's engine I shit you not was a 22hp Biggs & Stratton lawn mower engine.. hence the name "mow power to the people". It had a top speed of 125mph and weighed about 375lbs it also got about a 100mpg on the flight distance.

I'm link hotten so if they red X sorry..

**The Duck** · 08-28-2008, 07:28 AM

So yourt into planes, cool.

**L-Pink** · 08-28-2008, 07:29 AM

Wow, that's 150 lbs lighter than my motorcycle.

**pornguy** · 08-28-2008, 07:30 AM

Do you have to have a license for those yet??? USed to be that if they were listed as experimental, you did not.

**MichaelP** · 08-28-2008, 07:48 AM

Nice toy Julius... So you'll be able to fly here next year for my 45Th Birthday PArty (2nd edition)

**V_RocKs** · 08-28-2008, 08:26 AM

Damn... Makes me want to take up flying!

**JFK** · 08-28-2008, 09:01 AM

there is NO steering wheel, in these, the stick you see in the middle front of the seat, is how you partially manouver them

It is steered on the ground by the pedals

**Evil E** · 08-28-2008, 09:32 AM

Can you eject yourself easily in case of disaster?

**JFK** · 08-28-2008, 10:31 AM

the new ultralights, such as the one below, are far removed from Tin cans, they are government regulated and approved. Furthermore its not about dieing but the Thrill of flying

**Phoenix** · 08-28-2008, 10:37 AM

so how much cargo can you carry on that?

PK

yes, usually the bathroom

............ when I go to neat places like this open house, I always take the camera, to record what I saw, so I can jerk off to it later

**woj** · 08-28-2008, 10:48 AM

looks like a fun toy, how much does something like that go for?

**bbm** · 08-28-2008, 10:55 AM

I want to fly this helicopter

yes, you have to have a license, these are govenment approved advanced ultralight, most of the built in the Czhec republic. They changed classifications a few years ago, these are capable of cross country flights

**Due** · 08-28-2008, 11:24 AM

Nice pictures! When are we going to see you flying to conventions in your own plane ??

**JFK** · 08-28-2008, 11:29 AM

Michael, that is very possible

Got to sell a few more ads 1st

**sinkiss** · 08-28-2008, 11:33 AM

those look awesome but im scared shitless to fly in anything lol.

**JFK** · 08-28-2008, 11:53 AM

Not quite, BUT, the model right at top of the page carries a Ballistic Parachute, which when activated, will float you down with the plane. This works from as little as 100 feet depending on the aircraft

I believe he died in a long ez. Not an ultra light. Though it was small, it didn't fall under the "ultra light" classification.

**JFK** · 08-28-2008, 12:15 PM

Well the Samba weighs 573 lbs empty, you add fuel,1 or 2 people, gross total weight is 1232 lbs. So what ever the diff between fuel and people and dry weight
