10 point system for evaluating new and used ultralight aircraft
7. Ultralight Aircraft’s Cross country capabilities:
If the ultralight aircraft has good cross country capabilities 50 to 55 mph cruise then you get another 10 points. Once again if the
craft has been purchased for the sole purpose of flying "around the patch" at 25 to 35 mph you can still give it a 10.
However if it is three axis control and capable of 50 to 55 mph in cruise it means that more use can be made of the craft flying to
flyins and other pilots fields. It also is less bothersome to neighbors, since you are not buzzing away in their ears for extended
periods of time. Usually if you are cruising in these ranges you will find most ultralight aircraft to be enclosed or semi-enclosed
meaning they can be flown more months of the year in colder climates.
2 Points off for ever 5 MPH cruise below 55.
