A two seater? If you're talking about the common lawnmower engines and stuff, I wouldn't think that they would have enough power.

>>2621574

It might fly but it will be overweight, underpowered and ultimately quite dangerous even for a skilled pilot.

>>2621574
I mean, do you wanna be at altitude and have an engine which won't restart on ya?

>>2621574
Sure, will it fly? Maybe. There is a reason aero engines are so expensive.

>>2621574
Not a worthwhile one, which you'd have known by studying the subject vs. requesting spoonfeeding.

Popular problems are solved problems. There is nothing new to invent in many respects including cheap powered flight.

It was super normal in the 90s and 00's and was not associated with homosexuals (who ruined everything btw)

... fair.
I was trying to do a parody. Even included "my man" at the end, but deleted it thinking it was too over-the-top.

What is the appeal of these things?

They are naturally stable and do not collapse....

It's not my particular area of interest but the name sounds familiar. I know that there is the Rotax 503 and half VW conversions, but I'm sure they've got some kind of belt drive for the smaller ultralights.
>>2621616
it's quite a lot safer than not being at altitude and trying to restart an engine
which doesn't matter anyway. With this type of flying ideally many of the risks are mitigated even if the engine doesn't exist.
>This year at Airventure they introduced their latest design the Backyard Flyer powered by a four cycle 990 cc V twin engine producing 38 to 40 HP at 3600 rpm.

Allows people to get further away from the God damned morons. Can't get any thinking done otherwise.

Yes

Ultralight aircraft are deathtraps. Also I doubt it. You'd most likely be better served with an engine that others have used before to make one of these. No reason to make things harder on yourself.

Ignore the nay sayers do it op. Fuck the FAA

took ultralight lessons and threw in the towel when I learned you are statistically more likely to die flying an ultralight than being killed on a motorcycle. Also instructor's ultralight plane engine went kapult, fortunately we were close to the landing strip and he could land it, so there's that. If you want to learn to fly just get a normal pilot's license it's safer.

The month of June is synonymous with fags

>>2621616
Nigger you get to altitude then cut the engine to cruise or go down
