Does anyone out there know anything about ultra-light "airplanes"? I would like info on like: cost, safety, ease of use (like do you need a big place for a runway), regulations, etc. Thanks. jsl@ciprnet.princeton or ...allegra!princeton!ivy!jsl *** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MESSAGE ***

They are great. They are aircraft, and must be taken as seriously as any other aircraft. With respect to all the details, it depends on which model you are flying. I last flew an Eipper MXL, and the take off distance was very short. My quess is a couple of hundred feet to clear 50'. Safety depends on having the right safety equipment (parachutes), and having a "safe" attitude. Al Gettier Teknekron Infoswitch
