ultralights
Many pilots and aviation enthusiasts are looking at ultralight aircraft as either an entry level craft, or as just a more affordable alternative to
general aviation due to it’s steadily increasing cost. One of the major problems facing this group is in selecting just what ultralight aircraft they
should buy. If you are one of these enthusiasts then this 10 point ultralight aircraft rating system might help you out.
Questions include whether it should be new or used ultralight on floats or an amphibian, the kind of engine and horsepower, should the craft be enclosed, partially enclosed, or fully enclosed.

If you use this article correctly, it will prevent a great deal of headaches down the road and should save you money when purchasing your craft. The least it will do is prevent you from becoming a "test pilot". The following is a simple ten point program that can be used for either new or used ultralight aircraft. In my mind a passing score is 70% or over, to completely fail would be 50% or under.
