    Ultralight range ... whats the winds aloft ?

    https://aviationweather.gov/windtemp

    With a true part 103 compliant

    doses anyone have status on USUA link is active , but no activity detected

    i reference because of:

    whoo thetas my airframe choice pic looks like a B10 ,,vice a10 ,

    link shows a protocol to execute.

    current is 300 miles ..
    anyone have any data on this mission ?

    5 gallon fuel ,, examination of likely power plants reveals possible burn of 1.5 g / hr .. fuel
    catch some lift enroute or a low level jet is what i told the guys in my eaa chapter..
    is the only way ..
    i am up for either option ..
    only reason i am now remarking is the current frontal passage .
    low level jet steam present , how low , with a oxy bttle i can go to 18 K
    thinking about launching my open UL B-10 ahead of the front with the lowlevel jet or after ?

    climb to 'altitude " in a 254 lb airframe ...
    and fly like a butterfly in the wind
    now i just need to build test and execute
    here is mr jacobs wing..documented 300 mile flight , is this the departure or arrival pic idk
