What you need to know is that we buid “very light airplanes”.  To us an ultralight is something you strap on and swing from, where an airplane is something you climb in and pilot.

The FAA rules, however, define an “Ultralight” as virtually any ”vehicle” that can get in the air because of a motor that fits within the Part 103 rules.  Any vehicle that fits the FAA definition of “Ultralight” is not required to be inspected, certified or registered in any way.

 It may also be flown by anyone.  We strongly urge anyone considering flying an Ultralight, or any other craft that can get in the air by any means whatsoever, to get some kind of training.  We include a 10 step program with all Ultralights that has been used successfully by others for over 25 years, BUT, you need to remember that only training and experience can get you the skills needed to fly safely.

Any craft that can get in the air because of a motor but does NOT fit within the part 103 rules DOES require inspection and certification and it must be registered.  For example, if it is too heavy, goes too fast, carries too much fuel or can carry passengers then it does not fit within these rules.  In addition, all such aircraft require that the pilot be properly certificated and current to fly them.

The XT100 fits within the FAA definition of a true “Ultralight” and can be purchased either as a kit or assembled.  The XT1000 and XT2000 are not “Ultralight” aircraft.  They must be registered.  The FAA category for these aircraft is “Experimental-Ameteur Built” and we will only sell these as kits.
