Very interesting, the 1200lbs. category. In US regulations, I recall a
maximum speed in level flight for Ultralights, which was pretty low (don't
recall the precise figure, something like 60mph), but I might be mixing
something up there.
Do you know if the Canadian "advanced ultralight" category has a speed
limit?

So far, good to homebuilders: US, Canada, Australia. A bit as I expected.
Does anyone know about the conditions for homebuilders in Europe?

France must be pretty good, as they seem to have more homebuilts than anyone
else in Europe.

Hello,

There are a lot of designs from France, but regulations and the cost
of flying are overwhelming, unless you choose ultralights. Still,
you'll pay as much over there for a litre than you'd pay in the US for
a gallon!
