You should report the video for misinformation, we need to start holding content creators responsible for the shit they create, hell they're getting paid for it.
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.
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.
It's only illegal if ya get caught no cell or radio nothing no nada have you ever herd of flying under the radar don't be a pansey land it on a public street if have to then casualy walk away that's the point to this video sheesh Mr or Ms by the book like there gonna catch ya unless they got a bird and you likely might out run em don't be scared of your own shadow😂😊
@@masjuggalo In the US the weight restriction - for a Part 103 legal ultralight - specifies the empty weight at 254Lbs max. The gross weight is not an FAA restriction and is determined by the aircraft manufacturer. For the Light Sport catagory it's the reverse. The FAA specifies the gross weight at 1320Lbs.
@michaeldean4704 thank you. I was curious about that because at 230 lb I didn't know if anyone had built a plane light enough to keep me in the plane and the fuel under 500
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.
😂. I have a vfr private pilots rating. Im not watching this to avoid that. Im watching it to see whats out there on the used market. This is a good way to see the aircraft operating from some decently shot angles. Why y'all assuming no one here is rated?
@@LeePeters-z4g The title will mislead people looking for information on ultralight aircraft possibly discouraging them from a great sport/hobby or buying an airplane in the wrong category.
They weren't counting the extra weight of flotation because it is considered a safety feature and two seater's were another safety bonus because it makes instruction possible .. I crash landed a Challenger when the horizontal stabilizer snapped and folded over and stuck in the rudder . The plane had a ballistic chute however it had the pneumatic rocket deployment but it hadn't been serviced in years so I decided that if it were to go off half cocked it might wrap up around the plane at the rate things were going and destroy what little control I had left of the plane so I kept working against the succession of stalls and timed it so that the last stall wouldn't be straight down to the ground, I hate that ,, and we crawled out of the wreckage unscathed ....
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!
THE BEST ULTRALIGHT EVER MADE WAS THE ROTEC RALLY 2 B . STRONGEST AND SAFEST CONSTRUCTION DESIGN . I HAD ONE WITH FLOATS . HAD A ROTAX ENGINE OF 42 HP. ROTEC ALSO MADE A 2 SEATER CALLED THE BIG LIFTER . IN THE EARLY 80S THE KIT , WHICH I HAD THEM BUILD , WAS 3000 . I ADDED A BALISTIC CHUTE TO IT JUST IN CASE THAT ALONE ADDED TO THE PRICE THE FLOATS WERE EXTRA WHEN ALL WAS SAID AND DONE IT WAS CLOSE TO 8 ,000 WHICH IS STILL PRETTY CHEAP
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.
Yeah, some of these do require, a license. I fly both, with and without, But I always sought training for whatever I was gonna be flying. Get trained no matter what, I love hang gliding more than any of my flying. And I want to Live, to do it another day. My ultralight is a different beast all together. My best ever was to be allowed to fly a real , not a reproduction WW-2 SNJ Naval Fighter plane, and no, I didn't own it, I wish ! God bless and be safe everybody.
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.
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!
Almost back to the Wright Bros Flier --just far more powerful & lighter engines ----far more compact --imagnine if Orville could see these ultralights ?
a two seater is not an ultralight. You will need to have a private pilot's license to fly them. It might be classed as a "light sport" plane, but it's not a FAR103 ultralight. A FAR103 ultralight is limited to the following: (a) Is used or intended to be used for manned operation in the air by a single occupant; (b) Is used or intended to be used for recreation or sport purposes only; (c) Does not have any U.S. or foreign airworthiness certificate; and (d) If unpowered, weighs less than 155 pounds; or (e) If powered: (1) Weighs less than 254 pounds empty weight, excluding floats and safety devices which are intended for deployment in a potentially catastrophic situation; (2) Has a fuel capacity not exceeding 5 U.S. gallons; (3) Is not capable of more than 55 knots calibrated airspeed at full power in level flight; and (4) Has a power-off stall speed which does not exceed 24 knots calibrated airspeed. Anything else is and aircraft that requires registration and a private pilots license to fly. Just because an aircraft looks like an ultralight doesn't mean it is a legal ultralight.
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.
That's as wrong as the information in this video. As a licensed wildlife control agent in the state of Virginia, I know for a fact if licensing wasn't required then there would be way too many people just willy-nilly killing wildlife. That's just one example. There's a million more. Try again.
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
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!
I'm not a pilot & I'd appreciate GREATLY if the Title of a Video meant something to the creator of the video? Who really knows just how hard they are to fly..... that's a toss up & I'd never hold you to this being truthful b/c that's not important. What is of the most importance to Your Video Title is that No License is required. That's not some little oversight on your part if you care about how we think of you? 2 Seat Planes, more than 5 gallon fuel tanks, and other considerations are of the utmost of importance to your channel being considered reliable. I'm glad you're good at doing videos but consider not stretching the truth on the Title because it can be misconceived as ignorance or out -n- out LYing just to get views? I'm saying do your best to label it correctly, you didn't do well on this Title & it's important to me. peace man
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

So, explain what is wrong so someone like me watching for the first time digging in has the right information.
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
And it goes too fast! 😂. interesting video, just not what it advertised 😔
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?

Scammer alert. There is no 900.00 aircraft

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!
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.

Just because an aircraft looks like an ultralight doesn't mean it is a legal ultralight.
But what if you do have fear?
Poorly researched. Not accurate. US, Canadian, Europe all define ultralight differently. All cost at bottom end - just poorly done
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.
So much misinformation.
Do your own research.
I think that the Aerolite B103 RTF is closer to $30,000.
BRO usa dollars in Brazil IS 5 dollars só 900 x 5 = ?
2 seaters are NOT pat 103 legal and require a sport pilot license.
Consider Fisher Ultra light aircraft
254 lbs. Is the max weight for ultralight, and they can only carry the pilot. No passengers.
Nothing should require a license, it is evil.
I know
That's as wrong as the information in this video. As a licensed wildlife control agent in the state of Virginia, I know for a fact if licensing wasn't required then there would be way too many people just willy-nilly killing wildlife. That's just one example. There's a million more. Try again.
@different-abled
I especially want to get back surgery done by a mental ill guy Trump. That’s my dream
If it seats two people, it's not an ultra-light. If it has a N number, it's not an ultralight.
No passengers allowed for ultralights. That’s just problem #1 with this.
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
Wow! it costs less than a funeral.
All you have to do is add the price of a parachute.
Oceansgate is selling submersibles for $900
На обложке написано "900$" - какой самолет можно купить за 900$? Не уверен, что можно купить за 2500$ даже в виде кит-набора...
He keeps listing prices without “optional” features like the motor and the instruments.
@@YoniBaruch-y3m what model of plane cost only 900$ or only 2500$ without the motor and instruments?
2 seater and WAY over 254 lbs.
not even close to being in compliance with far 103.
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!
Buying the cheapest aircraft you can find is not the best idea. Lynrd Skynrd did that.
Das Video ist viel zu lang für so wenig Inhalt.
Most seem to fall under ELSA regs.
Could not even buy an engine for $4,000 !
I'm not a pilot & I'd appreciate GREATLY if the Title of a Video meant something to the creator of the video? Who really knows just
how hard they are to fly..... that's a toss up & I'd never hold you to this being truthful b/c that's not important. What is of the most
importance to Your Video Title is that No License is required. That's not some little oversight on your part if you care about how
we think of you? 2 Seat Planes, more than 5 gallon fuel tanks, and other considerations are of the utmost of importance to your
channel being considered reliable. I'm glad you're good at doing videos but consider not stretching the truth on the Title because
it can be misconceived as ignorance or out -n- out LYing just to get views? I'm saying do your best to label it correctly, you didn't
do well on this Title & it's important to me. peace man
Not one was $900!
These are not “cheap” or ultralights.
You can build your own for $900, IF you're clever enough and have a large amount of tools and appropriate materials already.
Bro u stupid it easy to buy part now😂😂
Either you don't understand what an ultralight aircraft is or you're outright misinforming folk. smh
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!!!
Sell me one for $1000 lol that will never happen
i got one barnstormers oct 2023 1000 bucks
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
not true, you just got old
Without training, you risk yourself. The chance of injuring others is minimal.
We have far too many regulations already.
This sounds so bad & so misinformed.
Pretty much BS. The guy is spewing mass quantities of bad information.
Kau dah tahu kapal terbang dah lalu dekat situ nak tahu dia pegi mana pegi ikut sendiri
No
😢
These are becoming overprice junk if you ask me
To expensive
Who cares ill fly them regardless
I wish they bring back the visible dislike button.
Satu tempat satu vedio youtube yang kau bagi recording media aku tak tengok kerja nak pangil bini anak beranak kejra lain lain lain nak ikut macam mana kau kena terus lepas tak apa aku kena tak duit tak ada jamin tak ada apa pon tak ada
how about this one th-cam.com/video/INlYXzs3AAs/w-d-xo.html
This video is filled with misinformation. However, there is a hidden value in these little Tinkertoy "aircraft" - when they crash and kill you, the wreckage is folded around you and serves double duty as your coffin!
scam vid
What a load of misinformation.somebody needs to go back and do some proper reaearch.SMH. ppl holder here.
Isn't it crazy how far you too was fallen when they started there were no standards now there are standards it's s***
