The dealer thinks I can put a sign out in front of the small airport here and advertise scenic rides if I have a commercial rateing, (i do). I'm almost positive an SLSA aircraft can only be used for rental and instuction only. Giving senic rides would be nice as I do not want to reinstate my experie...

Looking to buy the new SLSA quicksilver. To trailer it home the dealer says I can remove and put the wings back on myself and don't need a A@P to sign it off. Is that correct?

I've been out of flying the last 15 yrs. The on line Medical questions are new to me. Just wondering on rateings, My CFI is experied, so do I have a CFI rateing or not? Another question, date of last FAA medical? like i have records of that. I understand the examiner can change answeres later, just ...

The subject says it all.... thanks

Can anyone tell me more about a BRS system. I know they cost around 5 grand. Do they have to be repacked every 5 yrs or does that depend on the manufacturer? And then there is the rocket, is that good for 7yrs? And I guess you can't ship them via UPS etc. Any info woulod help, thanks

The sport version 2SE (the strutted version) will have an introductory price of $39,900 until July 4, 2014. This also includes a hand held radio and some other stuff. Altogether maybe $400-$500 of extras. If you follow these intro prices what do you think the price would go to after the dead line is...

isn't premium ethanol free?

Hello anybody....... how hard is it to get an STC for usuing auto gas in a certified airplane like a C-172? And could you use it for commercial use like flight training?

Well, I asked for a quote from Falcon and they gave me $1600/yr. I guess I better e-mail Uflyit and tell them I found an insurance company for them.

Well, anybody got any ideas why?

Bob, just wondering why you can't get insurance for a quicksilver if they boast of the best safety record of anybody? thank you

Gosh, I really want to fly floats (amphips) and that might be my only option. Can an airport keep you out if they find out you don't have insurance?

I don't think walking out to the hangers is a big issue if you go thru the main lobby etc. If your flying at the same airport I'm sure you could get some arrangement to get in but I was thinking more if you were trailering it on a long vacation and it all of sudden it got servere clear and you wante...

I guess this question wouldn't be for Bob, anyway, Just looking at the quicksilver at uflyit in Florida. In the FAQ section the last one is "Can I get insurance for my ultralight?" answere is.... "At this time we don't know of any U.S. companies that will insure your aircraft" No...

I'm looking at the Aeroteck plane which has the folding wings like Kitfox etc. If I bring it to an airport do they have to let me in? Pre 9/11 it wouldn't have been much of an issue but now they are fenced in pretty good. I don't know if the local FBO is going to be real happy to go out and unlock t...
