This Popular Mechanics article is what got me interested.
$30,000 isn't bad for something that you can fly in.
Anyone here fly ultralights? How safe are they?
The article discusses five ultralights, and it looks like the Powrachute Pegasus is the most safe because it's basically a flying parachute. I'd hazard that the Mosquito XE helicopter is the least safe if something were to go wrong...
The Air Creation GTE Trek seems like an in-between. If something were to go wrong could it hang glide to safety?
Ultralight flight just seems like so much fun. I'm can't help but go through the picture taking opportunities if I had something like this.
EDIT: Geez, this is only $17K.
