Any reliable sources for that information?
So far the UL community hasn't seen any of it.

That's all I've heard recently from the UL community up
here...they're all saying in 2007 the FAA will be clamping down on fat
ultralights.

I don't have anything solid though, it's all hearsay. I've read a few
things in various places online about considerations for brakes,
starters etc. (such as Ultraflight Radio) but as far as I know it's al
l
being worked out still. I'm not sure where the "2007" stuff is, but
that's the year everyone is quoting. I almost bought a Challenger, and
I was told by the owner that I would have no problem flying it until
2007, when I'd have to register it as an experimental. (There was NO
WAY that thing would ever weigh under 254 lbs.) Most of the guys up
here are old, and I don't think many of them have computers, let alone
internet access, so most of the info is word of mouth.

That's what I figured. If you want facts instead of BS you should
check with some of the Yahoo groups for ultralights like the fly-ul
group.

The guys that you have been listening too are way off base.
