The Affordaplane is NOT an ultralight.
I have the same information. The owner/moderator of the Affordaplane Yahoo group (who is the #1 supporter of this design) states flat out that the BEST you can manage is about 350 pounds (100 pounds over FAR 103)
The Affordaplane is NOT an ultralight despite the lies on their website.
