Ultralight Planes

Welcome to Ultralight Planes, home of the Canyon ultralight series. My name is Jake & I'm building out of the Utah west desert. This channel is dedicated to one thing: proving that you can build a high-performance, STOL-capable, carbon-hybrid aircraft in your own garage for under $2K.

Why?
I was tired of the "aviation tax" and the decades-old, overweight designs that barely meet Part 103 limits. So, I'm redesigning the classics from the ground up using:
🌲Local Douglas Fir trusses for ruggedness
🚀 Structural Carbon Fiber skins for "stressed-skin" rigidity
📏True 1:1 Full-Scale Templates that eliminate scaling errors and guesswork
⚡High-Altitude Authority powered by the Polini Thor 303

On this channel, we don't just talk about "what-if". We do the 3oz rib reveals & the real-world weight checks. I'm taking these designs from CAD to the Utah backcountry, and I'm taking you into the shop with me for every step of the process.

Stop dreaming. Start cutting. Fly carbon. Ultralightplans.com
