What happened to Ultralights?
Growing up, i always had an interest in flying. I was able to obtain my private pilots license, but was always interested in ultralights. I was never flying to travel, it was always for fun. I remember seeing ultralights flying above me, and thinking that was what i wanted to do. There is something appealing about flying for recreation, with the wind in your face.
The ultralights I used to see have disappeared. I have read articles about sport flying destroying the ultralight sport.
Is this because they took away ultralight training? I also read that they are not really producing new ultralights. Is this true?
I looked up my local eaa chapter (511) and there hasent been activity since 2009. I called every airport i can think of to get info on ultralight flying. They all said they had to kick em out after 9/11 for insurance purposes.
Is my dream of flying ultralights doomed?
