Best ultralight to accumulate flight hours for under3K

[1600vw]

Why not buy yourself a EAB. Something with a VW engine that burn just a few gallons an hr. You can pick these up all day for 4000 - 6000 bucks. I know of a really nice one with a 1/2 vw for under 4000, just built.
Myself I would stay away from the 2 strokes and stick with a 4 stroke. They do not cost as much to operate as a 2 stroke, just one positive, I could list more but why?

Just my 2 cents, get a good EAB, condition inspection are cheap at least compared to Certified GA airplanes. Here at 3IS5 we are getting ready to start offering these at 250 bucks. The owner will be hands on in this, We even offer housing to stay in while this condition inspection is being done, but this is another story.

EAB not an Ultralight is what you want.
