I am new to ULs and I'm looking at these two. What are the pros an cons? Is there a better choice for a beginner? Also is there anyplace to fly a UL in SW Indiana?

The backyard flyer might be cheaper and easier to store during the winter when it's too cold to fly comfortably? The wing pivots for storage.

Well I would like a 4 cycle I think it would be more reliable. But is the Back Yard Flyer no longer in production?
Culver Props, Valley Engineering was at A/V in 2017 I believe with their new 2 seat Back Yard Flyer. I don't know anything beyond that.

Valley Engineering is out of business. As an alternative you might consider the Legal Eagle. You can build what you want and there are vendors for components too. The mini-Max is a lower cost alternative to the 103. The 103 is in production and can sometimes be found for sale on various sites such as Barnstormers.
