how can a carbon cub be classed as an ultralight ?
theres no way it could come under the 600 kg limit with full fuel & two people .......????
I saw one flying under 24 reg two days ago wth a full load !
As far as I am concerned an ultralight aircraft is any aircraft that is below the 80 knot cruise
Anything above in my eyes is a light sports aircraft
That how I define the difference any way ,!!

Yes I feel we have lost our way they sum it up with the story in the sport mag " the Original Goals"
I think any aircraft that is faster then 80 kn should be a lsa or expemental class eg : LP / HP defines the difference pretty straight foward to me.
u only have to look at the sport pilot mag to see what I am talking about Eg : your flat out finding story or information on an ultralight aircraft most are LSA or expermental
I think we have come along way with our flying priviledges and rights that is a good thing but I think that we should be looking at the way we are classing our aircraft eg a Super cub is no ultralight aircraft to my way of thinking .
thanks

Good luck with it
I was working at Weipa at the time took leave to do my and I did all the paper work waiting for a chance to get my bum in the left hand seat blood rain just kept coming .....
U will get that speed but ya have to set up on the step first mate if u look at your wingtip u should be level with the horizon and have a slightly nose Down attitude , well that how my old girl flew at 70 kn she had a 582 ..
Update :
We will be staying with 25 0032 and they have put the mtow back from 544 too 400kg all 25 register aircraft will have to conform to the original rego rule s .......
So will be heading north to innsfail around the 26th if the weather permits to bring my girl home :-)
Got to sort out rego first may have to change rego too 19 .. See what future bring may even go VH .... 400 kg will not cut it. Was 544 kg but now saying all 25 rego only 400 kg
