Single place Part 103 ultralights in the United States are defined as single
place ultralight aircraft that weigh 254 lbs or less, have a stall speed
not more than 24 knots, a top
speed of 55 knots, and carry no more than 5 gallons of fuel. To fly a
legal Part 103
ultralight aircraft in the United States the pilot does not require a
pilot license.
Single place aircraft weighing more than 254 lbs. in the U.S. require a
pilots license and must be built as experimental, amateur built,
homebuilt aircraft. These include weight shift aircraft, more commonly
known as trikes, powered parachutes, and powered para-gliders.
Single place ultralights in Canada can weigh up to 1200 lbs. and an
ultralight pilots license is required to fly them. |

This Ultralight Aircraft Plans
package includes
construction plans, construction manual and a video tape
(shows the Flitpland in flight and on runway) to build the legal
ultralight Flitplane, that has been featured in Ultralight Flying
Magazine January 1998.
Tackling the task of building a flying machine is
an
all inspired task. Many people build airplanes to get into the air
"cheaper". Many build to have something when they are through that few
others have.
Many just like the challenge and reward of creating something
beautiful. There is so much variety in the ultralight field, which is what
makes this sport such a rewarding one!

 The FLITPLANE has been created to provide a plans built, low cost
Ultralight Airplane. No attempt was made to design the machine for high
volume production.
The main goal was to get people out in their garages or
down in their basements building airplanes again, rather than wishing they
could afford one currently on the market.
The beauty of a plans built
plane is that it
can be built as the builder can afford it, at little at a time. Not
everyone has $15,000+ to drop down for one of the “Tinker Toy Kits”.
Build
a subassembly a week from these plans, wrap it up or bag it for
protection, label it and in no time your very own “kit” will be ready for
assembly.
The FLITPLANE was designed to use conventional construction of a 4130
steel fuselage, aluminum tubing tail and wing, and fabric covering. There
is nothing exotic in the FLITPLANE, it is derived from the many years of
us building airplanes and paying attention to how things were done.
This plans, video & manual package gives you the best shot at having a
good looking, good flying LEGAL Ultralight for the price of a good used
car.
But remember, if you want to keep the overall cost down; study plans
carefully before purchasing or cutting any materilas, do careful shopping
for raw materials, and be careful not to waste valuable material.
