I like the Ultralights, simply because they have a cool little motor....I went up to Cartersville airport to meet a friend who wanted to show me his new Goldwing, and to help out repair an Ultralight that had crashed on takeoff...Once they found out I was an A&P tech, I was an instant celebrity. One of the pilots taxxied up in his 2 seat Ultralight, and asked If I wanted to fly it! I filled the tank with gas and climbed into the left seat. He showed me the controls, and I told him that I taxxied large aircraft at work, and he simply said, Ok, you got it....I pushed the little thottle stick forward, and steered with my feet until we got to about 40 mph or so, and up we went...We climbed over the Etowah river, and up toward Rome, all flying by the seat of my pants....since then, it's been on my bucket list....maybe one day I'll own one....
