EAA WILL HELP WITH YOUR ULTRALIGHT CREDENTIALS: 
Are people begging you to teach them how to fly your ultralight aircraft? The Experimental Aviation Association (EAA) plans to offer enthusiasts working toward an ultralight instructor rating a special two-day course on March 18-19. The EAA has received an exemption from the FAA to designate qualified ultralight flight instructors who may provide training in two-place ultralights.

Valkyrie prototype takes to the air!
In the photo above, Richard lands the Valkyrie prototype while John and Chad pace off the distance of his last takeoff run -- about 300'. Our engineers had predicted a 315' takeoff run under these conditions, so it was good to have more of our performance predictions verified.

Strike Air - Over the years I meet a lot of "grass roots aviators." Good people who have given more than their fair share to our sport. 
One such individual is Steve Mahrle, of Oshkosh Wisconsin. I have interviewed Steve several times in the Ultralight Flyer video magazine on his planes the Busker and the GB Model D. 
Steve now has a website at: http://www.strikerair.com/  if you've got a minute drop by and take a peak at his site.

Ultralight Float Flying:
I love flying on water. To me it is the only way to go! Especially in Ontario where lakes and rivers are so abundant. I became addicted to float flying on an old single place MX, since  then I have had a two place MX, 7 single place Buccaneer XA's, 3 Buccaneer SX's, six two place Buccaneers, two  SeaReys, a Kitfox, an Avid Catalina, a Tierra, an Explorer, a Beaver RX 550, a Merlin, believe it or not a Murphy Renegade, a trike and several of my L'il Buzzards on the water.

Thunder Chief - for those looking for the sound of a 4 stroke.
In our coverage of Sun N Fun we did a story on Larry Israel and Jim Holbrook of H&I engineering, on their 40 hp 4 stroke called the Thunder Chief. According for Larry the engines are now being shipped. "The heart of our power plant is the factory-rebuilt French Citroen 602 cc engine that is modified and retrofitted with a prop speed reduction unit. We have also built into the engine a rugged electric starter with an 8 amp alternator. The Mukuni 34 mm carburetors provide the final touch for power and fuel economy."
