Kauai Ultralight Lesson

[midlifeflyer]

I was on Kauai in November and had a chance to take an ultralight lesson. It was all captured on video. If anyone's interested, I put a 4-minute segment from it on YouTube (I'm the one in the back who looks like he hasn't a clue what's going on).

That's really neat Mark. I want to own an ultralight some day.

I love open framework ultralights and had the pleasure of cruising about in them above the Red River Valley in ND. Not as spectacular as Hawai'i of course, but enough to be able to share the rush you must have felt being surrounded by air instead of fuselage. To me it was like cruising on a big motorcycle --except a thousand or so feet AGL...the feelings as you pass between warm and cold air currents, the smells, and the incredible, unobstructed views!

I'm building a Quicksilver (maybe even an amphib) as soon as I get a spare pocketful of change and enough backyard (or proximity to a suitable place) to launch it from.

Happy flying!
