First "overpriced" modern ultralight 🙂 Also, isnt the Jabiru considered ultralight? Im asking just because im sure the brand also produce very similar aircrafts that are ultralight.

I believe Jabiru is light sport which is not ultra light

Oh i see, im not a 100% positive, but i think here in France, Ultralight (ULM) also covers the light sports  you guys in the US have

Actually even the Australians seems to put it in the ultralight cat. Its confusing.

The US spoils the fun and options by limiting an ultralight's weight to less than the weight of many pilots @ 254 lbs. At 6'5" and not skinny, I'm much too large for an ultralight. I think of it like a kite or shopping cart with wings. Light sport planes are more like real airplanes - much more safe and air worthy.

Well you could fly an ultralight in Europe, even tho for you, an american, it would actually be a light sport 🙂

No it wont!

I've been using the Aircreation 582SL which is freeware that I got from http://www.andreadrian.de/FS_2020_sailplanes/index.html

It's a Jewel-in-the-Rough or Rough-Jewel depending on what you want it for. I put it in just to try it and 2 hours later after much low and slow flying decided I'm definitely keeping it. I find it's sweet spot around 38-41 mph depending on winds.

In Australia to be technically precise it is all in the legal mumbo jumbo and you need to talk about stuff like Category 95-28 registrations.

However in terms of how people actually talk about them:

- the 4 seat Jabirus are GA aircraft and GA registered they are not ultralights

- the 2 seat jabiru like the J160 and J170 are generally called Ultralight and can be dual registered as either (or both) GA and Ultralight

- the weight shift trikes like in the original post are generally called Microlights here

Geez, aviation authorities always have to make things more complex than they are. And its true in just about every country.
