I have flow a 55 mph open cockpit MX II recoil start for 13 years. The Aerolite is a blast to fly & I have enjoyed it but it is still a 55 mph open cockpit recoil start plane. The Hawk gives me the choice to fly doors on or off so it greatly expands my flying season. It cruises @ 75-80 mph which lets me do a lot more flying with my friends and it has an electric starter!
@@JKKDIFLY ..Gosh Darnit..I want that plane, but..I live in Texas ...Its the absolute worst state to have a UL...Nothing but rocks and hills, unless you some Greedy rancher and own acreage....Its a old airport close by..But, its controlled airspace, next to ant Army base and used for Flyte school trng also.....Soo, they prolly want you to have a license or whatever.....
Yurer67..Its a $100.00 USD a pound (lb) plus insurance. using DHL...Sooo...At say....400 lbs...400x $100.00 USD =....$40,000.00 USD.... Shit, you can contact a nearby distributor over there and get it cheaper and its brand new..... Russia Logovushka Flying Center Kurgan, Russia
It might be possible but you'd be carrying more engine weight than a 50hp Rotax but only have 35hp unless you spent the money to get it to 45hp and that is with out any starter on the VW(hand propping only). I personally don't like the thought of climbing out of all the tail tubes with a spinning prop so close to my head!
Some have been successful going all electric on the aerolite. That would be the best option as long as your not going long distance. About an hour flight time at best
My favorite ultralight!
Great video! Thank you for sharing it. As someone who hope to get one sone day was fun to see the take off and landings!
great little plane. how much is it.. was it)))?
It's awesome, congrats bro
Excellent landings.11/10/2022yr
Thank you!
I just want to know how many HP the motor is
Rotax 447, 42 HP
Looks good, I didn't know you had an Aerolite.
Picked it up in August. Just got a CGS Hawk so this one's for sale.
@@JKKDIFLY Why a Hawk over a aerolite 103 ?

Where's the fuel tank ? Didn't see anything on the wings either ?
It has a fiberglass tank molded into the back of the seat.

No dacron on wings?

Can they accept a 1/2 VW? I hate two stroke.

Bagus👍👍👍
Imagine how short the takeoff roll would've been if he actually took off INTO the wind!
@Christopher Barclay Yes, just after takeoff the sock is blowing the same direction.
Smoke on the far side of runway..... Wind was left to right
