ultralight aircraft twin 2

[tezzvids1]

If one engine stops in flight , you don't have the problem with the aircraft pulling to one side and no asymmetric thrust as in a conventional twin.

I'd like to ask one simple question - why? I'm not being sarcastic, I'm just wondering what benefit there is in having 2 engines. I just see too many cons: Extra weight, double maintenance, double the fuel and complexity, louder, etc etc etc. Is there any advantage that outweighs the cons?

Safety ! Flying in a mountais area without any emergency landing area, two engines are better then one. Life has not price !

Good answer, I guess two engines let you take that those two-stroke engines further beyond the airport pattern. >:)

Moreover I have a short private airstip. With 130 Hp It is an helicopter. See videos. Then it is matter of God. I had C337, PA34, I flow Citation and D328; same risk as this twin ultralight

It's probably faster. Plus if you lose one engine at least you wouldn't have to dead stick it.

Twin engine... looks like at least 2 cylinder on the back, front as well? at least 120 to 150 lb of engine weight, how is it still legal ultralight???

[lmavio]

It has two Rotax 582. Total weight 285 Kg without pilots and fuel. European Law says MTOW 450.

BRAVO!

I own a twin ultralight too.

Yours is exciting because we talked about a composite fuselage copy until I found mine.

Keep in touch.
