Ultralight Island Hopper

20.3k MAINE  5.7 years ago

Affordable to nearly everyone. This is because it uses a Briggs & Stratton 50hp engine and a tube styled caged aluminum frame. Parts are easy to find to replace anything that is worn out and the engine is basic as they come so any backyard mechanic can repair. No governmental licenses required. If the engine does break down in flight, no worries. It has a very low stall speed. So, gliding it back in is easy as can be. Short take off and landings have never been easier for the new pilot.
