    Brings me back 30 years ago, I created a flight school with those Quicksilver ultralights, we had great times!
    Quicksilvers are very safe short take off and landing. Of course we had mechanical failures have been sucked up by storms shaken by turbulences but always came back down safely due to those very short take off and landing speed and also by the parachute shape of the wings. Great Video!

    I sure miss my MXL II! I had so much fun flying around Brians Airport of the 14 FWY, Pearblossom Hwy. I couldn't believe he had the balls to fly over those mountains. The weather patterns can get intense. I notice his left foot pushing down on the rudder to fight the crosswinds. Just great stuff!
