It is called an Easy Riser, or Ikarus. It was originally a hang glider. John Moody put an engine on it in the mid 70's.

GREAT video, SCREW the EAA and the FAA :-)

Great Vid Dave. The USA needs to Adopt Canada's rules for Ultralight. USA has destroyed its grass roots.. It is the beginning of the end.

The EAA screwed us lets face it. It's all about money... they don't even do their affordable flying area anymore hmmm wonder why??? it was one of the most highly attended event.  Why is it so much to get in to an airshow? what is it all about huh? The EAA needs to wake up.

I can't tell how easy it is to fly around the faa where I live, been illeagle for 20 years now no problem.

can someone please tell me what the very first plane is called? the one that the pilot runs to take off

I enjoyed the narration but there's one major counterargument you didn't adress; the (maybe very small amount but not less fatal) accidents with ultralights. this made the EAA and such turn from a 'custumer-driven' organisation to a 'governmental-regulation-drive­n' organisation.

This is OUTRAGEOUS! There is this constant push for a NANNY-STATE that will regulate EVERYTHING, opressing people. What is this insannity? --look now they are pushing a law to prevent even people from...(get this!) plant their own VEGETABLE GARDENS, or choose the content of the school lunchbox of their kids. These examples i give are NOT exagerations--smell the common trait, smell the thin fascism of nanny-state... Grrrr

[hallobaaaby]

Very nice heartwarming video and narative!

[highmountain0]

i grew up in the seventies and had the bug and dream of designing, building and flying ultralights, i thought that it was going to be the next craze like football with every one wanting to do it and to be a apart of the ultralight movement. seriously, for real. for who in america would not want to own their own ultralight air craft? who? like the song says "in a sky full of people only a few want to fly isn't that crazy, its not only crazy it is chicken shit. americans are chickens, cowards...
