Ein Statment eines Mitglieds ( Little Scrapper) aus einem anderen Forum
It's easy to forget or dismiss the pleasure of simple flying and 2 strokes.
A good friend of mine tried so hard to be able to afford a regular GA airplane and a pilots license and sadly came to the conclusion he just couldn't afford it. After mentioning untralights a couple hundred times he finally went on a discovery flight in a 2 seat Quick. He became hooked.
He bought a rough little Quicksilver for what I felt was pennies on the dollar, and he basically brought it back to life and restored it. With help from a local ultralight club they worked with him and taught him to rebuild the little rotax.
He is a flying fool now, it's been maybe 3-4 years and he goes flying literally all the time now. Takes absolutely stunning photos and found his place in aviation including the promotion of the local Ultralight club.
He does not make much and has a wife and kids. The skylite reminds me of that kind of simple flying focused on just having some fun. 2 strokes can really make flying affordable.
I wish they could come with a way to make them a little quieter but it is what it is.

Irgendwie mag ich Euch! ...und das einfache Fliegen!

Jetzt kommt sogar bei so ein bisschen Weihnachtsstimmung auf... Auch wenn's dreissig Grad hat und der Weihnachtsmann bei mir vergeblich nach einem Schornstein sucht... Ich mag Euch auch hier...

Bei uns würde der Wheinachtsmann wohl in den Schornstein passen, aber rot rein und unten schwarz raus
