I've been flying only ultralights over 20 years now, but do not know if I want to go the sport pilot route or go back to a part 103 legal ultralight. I have some time left to make up my mind, but I am wondering if there is any one on the list that has a 254 lb legal Firefly that is thinking of going the sport pilot route that might be interested in a trade for a Firestar II. Just curious.

I have nothing to trade. I also own a fat UL. I would love to have a Firefly UL but I don't think there is such a critter. I'm told that it could make weight. But if there is a legal 103 Firefly out there, I would like to hear about it.

I just sold one. No brakes, no starter, nice but not spectacular paint job. Came in at 254 + 11oz. with around 5 extra feet of egt and cht cables that could have been trimmed down. If you have part 103 legal as a priority it can easily be done.

Dan, It can be done, even with floats. You just have to get back to the
purity of what UL was.

Hi, I understand that a person could build one that will meet the weight for 103. What about everything else? My flying buddy's say no way will a Fly make the speed or stall. The only Fly I've seen was a 277 powered one. Missed out on that one. I believe that one could fly at 70 mph at WOT. Do Not Archive
