Ultralight Aircraft for Sale

Regulations by the United States FAA determine when an aircraft can be flown without securing training or a license. For an ultralight aircraft to meet these regulations it must hold just one person, carry less than five gallons of fuel, weigh less than 254 pounds, and in most cases have a maximum speed of 64 mph.  While it would obviously be foolhardy to fly any aircraft without training, these aircraft are becoming popular with people who want to experience air flight without the lengthy certification and licensing process.

For those considering fulfilling their dream of being an ultralight owner and pilot, there are a few different options. One is to locate an ultralight aircraft for sale. There are a number of companies that produce kits as well as websites on which to locate used ultralights for sale. If you decide to build from scratch, you can find engines such as 2 cycle ultralight aircraft engines for sale.
