Canada is good to us homebuilders. The only downside is the $0.70
Canadian dollar.

We have an 'advanced ultralight' regulatory category which is a real
loophole for heavy two-passenger 'ultralights' - which are actually
anything under 1200lbs. Licensing for these can be a Rec pilot permit
or Ultralight-instructor rating.

For a homebuilt 1200lbs our regs are simlar to the US, but without
the liability issues, one extra pre-closeout inspection and the Rec
pilot permit makes life easier to fly anywhere in Canada with 1
passenger, non-complex, day VFR only.

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?
