remember we're going to get an amphib ultra light and base it at playa Frambes.
for runs up to the rio in mulege.
will be a side by side 2 seater. i have 2 models i especially like.
and they can be flown to baja. no need to truck.

I really like the photo with the lighthouse in there. Would be great scenery from this rig, and great for taking photos. You could get one and offer yet another ride for your guests!

PS: In photo #1... Where are those palapas located?

palapas are next door and "for sale"

the owner is "selling out"

the guard at the "fork-in-the-road" has all the info

Mike is right about a two seater with floats. I had one of the largest ultralight dealerships in the US for awhile and we had an absolute ball flying this thing and landing on the water. You could do tours and stuff and have a ball.
The flying parachute is so totally boring that after 1/2 hour you want to cut your engine and see what it lands like

capt cracker:
in US you don't need license for ultralights, they can carry only one person, and you can't use ultralights for business purposes (for sport and recreation only).
is that case in mexico too? how do you license a 2-seater in US?

Goat,

Were talking Mexico here right? Go to La Fonda on any weekend and you can fly an ultralight as a passenger, just pay your pesos.

one seater = no license
school ~$1800

two seater = limited license
school and license ~$3000

one seater = ~15k
two seater = ~25K
4STROKE = ~30K

Private Goat: (yes, i am a capt. and you are a private... hahahaha)

i know the rules, ultralight ops ARE regulated and there are specifics for dual seat private and commercial ops. And, have studied and enquired about the legalities for Mexico - besides - i never mentioned COMMERCIAL ops for Mexico - you did.

a friend here from Cave Creek AZ, locally famous as a celebrity in the bar and restaurant/entertainment biz, ran a VERY successful UL ops in Penasco for years and gobbled up a TON of $$ during spring break annually - all was legal and authorized by the DGAC out of the MMHO office.

go to Cabo - you can ride in a 2 seater Eipper based on the beach at Los Cabos all day long for $80 a throw - all legal.

my Amiga in Lopez Mateo, an EX PAT is a charter member of the Mexican equivalent of the AOPA but for ultra lights, flies her own and attends rallys in La Paz where her chapter is based.

let me know when you have anything to contribute you know something about.... that will be all Private Goat. Now go back to the mess and continue on that stack of potatos yur peeling with your breath...:yawn::yawn:

capt. cracker:
don't get your panties in a bunch. i was just asking a question.

another Q: do ultralights crash as often as hang gliders? they look like a tiny puff of wind on landing would blow them around pretty dramatically :lol:

Goat,

You do nothing but insult Mike yet you get offended when he responds in kind. You are pathetic.


Ken

capt. mike - 5-19-2010 at 04:18 PM

ok - truce. hahaha.

yes they crash....if the pilot screws up, or the weather capabilities are exceeded, or the contraption is over stressed...and a lot of other reasons could play - but PROPERLY operated within the design limits it is hard to hurt yourself assuming you have been properly trained.

same thing applies to standard category AC like my Piper and the new category called Light Sport which to me is either an ultra lite on viagra or a regular plane that needs viagra....or substitute steroids for viagra - same principle on comparison.

when we start ops at Frambes and if you come you can go for a ride. :wow:

Don't fret about my feelings, I assure you I am unoffendable. I gots thick skin and idle chatter on nomad is always amusing and never offending :lol:

Really, anybody who gets offended by banter here is a pussy.

Understood you get enjoyment out of insulting people. You just made my point.

Do you see yourself as a role model of internet behavior?

but who will fly your ship?
no pinch hitters allowed.
be able or be quiet - i.e. no posers...

aerial war just like the Blue Max... that would be fun.
i wonder if the USULA would approve? who cares it would be Mexico.

Bob - does your general liability cover this? hahahahaha.
