Do you live in the United States? Im about to buy one. You dont need certification or have the plane registered?

@walk2fly = I live in Florida, USA . For a true ultralight, weighing less than 254lbs or 278lbs with an emergency parachute, you don't need to certify or register it. No license or medical certificate is required to fly it, but I strongly urge you to get some DUAL instruction with an instructor before you attempt to fly one.

what kind of fuel it requires?it drinks alot?

[webcamfann]

@rockonmario - Best to use ethanol-free auto pump gas 87 octane or higher. My trike has a Rotax-447 2-cycle engine that requires 2-cycle air-cooled oil mixed with gas 50 to 1 ratio.

@webcamfann how much training do you have to have? hour wise.... is it hard to learn? i want to get one.. .. but the kind i want is the amphibious kind that can land and dock on water.... that would be SOOOO much fun to take down to the lake in the summer :) .... but where would you even buy one of these at?? the hardest part is finding them / people who know about them.... i can't imagine how hard it would be to find the amphibious kind i want... were did you get yours? who taught you?

@HongKongBoyz100 - Trikes are reasonably safe, but you do not have as much control with weight-shift aircraft as you do with a 3-axis aileron, elevator, and rudder aircraft. You have no yaw-control with weight-shift aircraft, so they are very limited for crosswind takeoffs and landings. Bank control is also not as fast or as positive as a conventional 3-axis aircraft.
