That would be a good way to go as well. An extra $300 or so could be money well spent towards not damaging it-or toes.

Picked up the Hy-Tec Hurricane over the weekend. Here's some vids and pics.
Video compilation of the first day I had it doing familization flights on a dry lake bed (El Mirage).
After first few landings
About 1500 feet AGL looking down on the landing area. You can barely make out the truck and another ultralight on the lake bed.
On the truck ready to come back to San Diego
After getting the wings back on and putting it in it's new hangar
The day after getting the wings on a buddy of mine and I went up and he got some arieal video of me. It was a flight with a member of the SDUA to get familiar with the area around the field. Saw a few dual sports on some dirt roads around otay lakes road.

Nice bird Downs. I'd say you made the right choice. You're videos are excellent-although they are making me homesick. Be safe and keep the videos coming!
Here are some pictures from today flying with Matt and his T-Bird.
Some fires going on. Weirdly no TFRs were issued on this as far as we can tell but the Helo and Fire Tankers were pounding it hard. Lots of traffic in and out of the area. We kept our distance, kept scanning and announcing our position. Also made sure my strobes were kicked on.
My buddies T-Bird
Looking towards downtown San Diego and the coast. You can't really see it in this picture but I could see it with my own eyes.
Excellent pics.
