2-seater aircraft are NOT FAR103 legal ultralights. Nor is any aircraft with an empty weight above 254 pounds. FAR103 regs say; single seat, empty weight of 254Lbs max (excluding floats & safety devices), max fuel capacity of 5 gallons, max speed @ full throttle of 55 knots, max power-off stall speed of 24 knots. Anything outside of those requirements is a "light sport" aircraft and requires - at a minimum - a light-sport pilot certificate, which requires - at a minimum - 20 hours of training, along with an FAA written exam, and an FAA approved flight exam. And a Light Sport aircraft must be registered and have an condition inspection done annually... by a FAA recognized A&P (or holder of an Light Sport Repairmen Certificate with either a maintenance or inspection rating). Also, the light-sport license has other restrictions; such single, piston engine; fixed gear; gross take-off weight of 1320Lbs; day-VFR flying only; max seating of 2; and a catagory/class rating. Which is initally confined to the catagory & class of plane you took your check-ride in. Additional ratings (such as sea-plane, tailwheel, etc.) can be obtained, with additional training and - I believe - another check-ride in that type of plane.
That's what I was gonna say! I found it rather amusing that the narrator made an intro for FAR 103 and then proceeded to show an aircraft that doesn't even fit into that category! 😆
In 1991 my father died in a similar plane that was designed by a group of engineers employed in the aviation industry of the former Yugoslavia, later it turned out that the plane was produced illegally and did not pass the necessary tests and the blame for the crash of the plane was attributed to my father because the witnesses of the last flight were the very designers of the aircraft who gave a statement that my father made a mistake in the flight, my father was a captain i JAT and he flew for a 14 years until his death and he was also a flight instructor.
In Europe, Ultralights can have two seats, BUT it's not really license free. You still have to pass theory exams (too dangerous otherwise in crowded European airspace, and with dense population)
Got all wrong, not even the prices are near close to 2024 prices. Most of the planes here are not available new anymore, the Aerolite 103 is the only one still available and supported professionally.
I bought my first airplane for $38 off ebay, my second one for $99 off of Barnstormers, and my third one I got free. I got offered a forth one free but I passed on it. Here's my advice if you look to the sky and want to fly -- forget airplanes. They won't get you flying, and if they do, it's both terrifying and mindblowingly boring at the same time. You'll be disappointed. If you want the most fun and to fly for the most cheap, any place and any time of day with zero cost, simulators are the way to go. If you really want to, you can then move over to RC and FPV, but those are one step down from being as fun as a simulator. But the reality with FPV is, you don't need to risk your neck, or your spine, or buy a hanger, or grade a runway, or sit in a cockpit any more to enjoy flying. You can carry your airplane now in your hand and keep both feet safe on the ground. Your eyeballs get to go up in the sky, and you can do all the dangerous aerobatics you want. So my advice to all wannabe pilots... forget airplanes. They are the worst way to fly. In the beginning you think, well, I want to fly, so first I need an airplane. I don't have one, and to buy them is too expensive, so I have to build one. You'll find that 9 out of 10 times that leads to a dead in road and for everyone who suceeds and finishes it, there are 9 others that don't. It's time consuming, complicated, expensive, space consuming, labor intensive, dangerous, and just just the wrong worst way to go about things. You would actually be better off to learn how to fly first. Those who start off building a plane first, usually have the plane take up so much of their attention to get it finished, that they never once think much of learning to fly, and promptly wreck it on the first flight attempt. Or soon thereafter. Get yourself a good simulator setup, and if after a year of flying that you're not bored with it all, and you got money burning a hole in your pocket, get into FPV.
I am a giant scale Radio Control aircraft modeler with extensive experience of 24 years. I decided to start flying real planes, I bought lessons and the instructor was informed that I was flying RC models. In the first hour, the instructor allowed me to land because he saw that I was in control of the plane, although it didn't work out perfectly, in the second hour I landed 100% on my own. Habits and knowledge about the mechanics of flying RC models resulted in real aviation. Currently, I have flown 6 hours in a Cessna 152 and you may not believe me, I land without any problems even with a crosswind. I don't see any reason why I shouldn't get on an ultralight plane in the 115kg category now. I'm even looking for one to buy :-) Of course, I confirm that a person from the "street" who has no idea about flight mechanics and who has not flown on his own before will most likely crash, and hopefully without major injuries to himself and other people. Every future pilot in this category should be required to fly a minimum of 10 hours in a small light aircraft and this should be included in the law. In my flying club they say that the legislator's intention was to make this unlicensed category for former pilots who no longer meet the health conditions and not for new learners, you can partially agree with that.
Last month I flew my FPV quadcopter 300 miles to visit my elderly mom. She's hard of hearing so the prop noise didn't bother her. We had a nice conversation and a lovely hug. She's happy I don't fly my dangerous light plane anymore. Not really.
@@ClausB252 Or you could of driven there on the super cheap on a 50mpg motorcycle (compared to a gas guzzling airplane), with your quadcopter in a backpack on the tank, and taken your elderly grandmother flying with a second guest pair of goggles. She would of been thrilled to get out of her trapped world in a wheelchair in the nursing home you put her in and fly through the sky. Yes really.
Gee, the Aero Adventure II shown - they all have N numbers, means they are NOT ultralights. That Rotax engine is not 40HP, but rather 100 HP. 73 MPH and 12 gallons of gas are certainly not Part 103 complient. Quicksilver: Nope - no 2 seats are allowed any more. While the Aerolote 103 (one-oh-three, not one hunderd and three) can be an ultralight, but not at 275 lbs and exceeding the max speed of 63.25 mph. Kolb Firefly - max speed of 70mph? Too fast! CGS Hawk - too heavy and no 2 seats here. I could go on, but it looks like many vehicles show here are actually in Europe, where the "ultralight" rules are quite different.
True, and so does adding a ballistic parachute. These both increase the maximum allowable weight. I just wish they'd stop using "ultralight" and part 103 for aircraft that are obviously not qualified!
Almost back to the Wright Bros Flier --just far more powerful & lighter engines ----far more compact --imagnine if Orville could see these ultralights ?
So you can buy an aircraft for $900.00 and fly without a pilots licence? Why am I finding this very hard to believe? It's almost as if the creator of this video has made it up.
I'd be shocked to find a decent part 103 U/L that costs $900 complete and is capable of repeatedly and safely taking off , flying within its flight envelope, and landing. If you have one for sale, please contact me!
The 150 requires annuals, is subject to ADs, and the pilot needs to be licensed with a current BFR. I think it now qualifies for LSA, but don't quote me on that. If it doesn't, then you need a medical or equivalent. If you can stay OK with the FAA after all that, why not, and you get to carry a passenger. With a part 103 ultralight, you take all the risk and save all the money. The other thing is that ultralights take only a few hundred feet at most, and the 150 needs more. Both should be hangared if they're to last and stay safe from vandalism.
Sorry gentlemen most of these aircraft are not ultralight 103 as per the FAA regulations Single Seed 5 gallons of gas and not over 254 lb there are very few airplanes in this video that even qualify
We need to stop calling electric powered anything " environmentally friendly" at this time. There is not anything about electric batteries that are environmentally friendly. To top this off, the whole section based on the Zigolo MG12 was explained to be electric yet every video clip of this one is a ICE powered machine.
Incredibly irresponsible video giving false and incorrect information bot in the video and in the description. The creator of this content could have spent a bit of time actually gathering the correct info on the planes featured. In description it reads “all the planes featured here are 103 compliant.” Line maybe 2 of these planes are. The $900 thumbnail is just plain malicious misleading to get clicks. Shame on you!
What kind of B.S. this is, can buy this for $900.00 what a JOKE the answer is LOL NO!!! Maybe $9,000.00 you might find one why not just tell the TRUE!!!
When I was very young was nice that these aircraft didn't needed a licence to fly it. Now I'm a 50 year old pilot, and think it's criminal to allow people to fly one of these things without training and a license. You can easily kill yourself or kill others if you are not trained properly

Also add 61 pounds for pontoons if added.
@@TrueHelpTV extra tanks will not pass a FAA inspection, that could happen anytime without warning
The first one isn’t even an ultralight. Too heavy, too much gas.
Second: two seaters aren’t ultralights unless you’re an instructor with a waiver.
That's what I was gonna say! I found it rather amusing that the narrator made an intro for FAR 103 and then proceeded to show an aircraft that doesn't even fit into that category! 😆
no waivers anymore
It is because it's technically got floats which raises the regulation weight
So many of these are not legal part103 ultralights, and absolutely do require licensure.
the aventura is neither cheap nor an ultralight. LSA OR Experimental category.
@@tikitime LSA is Part 147?
In 1991 my father died in a similar plane that was designed by a group of engineers employed in the aviation industry of the former Yugoslavia, later it turned out that the plane was produced illegally and did not pass the necessary tests and the blame for the crash of the plane was attributed to my father because the witnesses of the last flight were the very designers of the aircraft who gave a statement that my father made a mistake in the flight, my father was a captain i JAT and he flew for a 14 years until his death and he was also a flight instructor.
Like what?
Booooo
In Europe, Ultralights can have two seats, BUT it's not really license free. You still have to pass theory exams (too dangerous otherwise in crowded European airspace, and with dense population)
Where do you find the 900USD ultralight?
In a scrap yard. lol.
it's a hidden treasure if you watch the all video
on barnstormers, i got a loehle sport parasol for 1,000 bucks oct 2023
The airbike, minimax, and the sparrow price quoted is the price of the kit, without engine, prop and instruments.
prices are way off and any 2 seater is to be flown with a sport licence and anything over 254 pounds is not 103 legal
Absolutely These people with their misinformed information crack me up. They have No idea what they are talking about
Up to 254 lbs with additional allowances for floats or a ballistic parachute.
that is NOT $600.00..... Also, most require a pilot license
No they don't ultralights do not require
Part 103 does not relate outside of USA, elsewhere you need a licence LSA licence
isn’t it funny that you can fly a airplane without a license but you have to have a license for a RC aircraft.
No you don't. Not ultra lite RC aircraft
some errors but enjoyed the good video quality. Thanks!
Scammer alert. There is no 900.00 aircraft
Bob Bailey was an excellent designer!
Can't be just me looking at some of these basic framed ultras and thinking, there's about £500 in materials there without the engine.
Got all wrong, not even the prices are near close to 2024 prices. Most of the planes here are not available new anymore, the Aerolite 103 is the only one still available and supported professionally.
aerolite is well north 30k now fyi
That all depends on what the standard for "very cheap" is
Relatively to other planes
I bought my first airplane for $38 off ebay, my second one for $99 off of Barnstormers, and my third one I got free. I got offered a forth one free but I passed on it.

Watched from Old Harbour Jamaica 🇯🇲, their are a few of them on the island.
To be honest, the PPL is so simple I don't think I want anyone flying who can't pass it!

No passengers allowed for ultralights. That’s just problem #1 with this.
In my country you are not aloud to fly anything except RC: s without license.
In my country, you even need a license to fly RC!
If it seats two people, it's not an ultra-light. If it has a N number, it's not an ultralight.
So much misinformation.
Do your own research.
time 11:54 12:18 12:25 12:38 12:52 there is is not single seater and definitely not amarican airplane.
Nothing should require a license, it is evil.
I know
Could not even buy an engine for $4,000 !
Poorly researched. Not accurate. US, Canadian, Europe all define ultralight differently. All cost at bottom end - just poorly done
The pusher configuration is interesting.....able to compensate for small engine and heavy pilot via auto or aero tow....
