    Nice. Even pilots with training have zero experience with any new aircraft they have never flown. You can learn the basics but the only way to learn an ultralight is to get in and fly it. An ultralight is going to fly different from a Cessna 150. No one should jump in without at least learning the basics. I have watched lots of video instruction and especially crash videos to find out why it happened so that I don't make a similar mistake.

    Awesome! Just awesome.. Its pitiful that we now live in a generation of jealous softies who, just because they did much worse than this with a CFI are jealous that someone else is enjoying more with much less cost. Its great! No one can take that feeling from you. I came to the flying world years ago and heard how pilots have so much respect for each other. Im not sure thats actually true. In no other sport have I ever heard so much whining, downgrading and trash talk about other pilots as some of the flying community. Yes, Im talking about you, you who went to college, paid by your parents to learn to fly. Not because you thought its fun, but because it was the cool thing for you to do. Now you fly around in your new little sport plane, and who ever got to where you are in a much lesser means is completely worthless. Unfortunately Its you who are wrong.
