No pilot license required for ultralights, registration optional, you can even build it yerself
Btw, this is actually true.
I can actually knock one together pretty quickly out of fairly common materials, especially if you have a pair of chainsaws you don't need no more.
If you want a decent one though, you'd have to bring me a Rotax 447UL SCDI to build it around, however, and wait a bit longer.
We've actually been floating the idea since Katrina of mounting an extra radio to a GT400 UL50HP and using it as a spotter for rescue operations, but we'd need to teach someone else to fly the damn thing cause I am gettin a bit long in the tooth for such adventures myself.

I know Honest Pirate Cat the boob paid it like a dumb ass. Like my buddy just didn't answer the door. It is a racket. No kidden about the green arrow lasting 2 seconds. The third car at best gets snapped. I sat through an 8 hour class on a sunday during NFL season OMG was I hot. All good citizens too. The US will be like England soon.
The cops don't REALLY look at the video, they just claim they do.

1,000s of Gatso traffic cameras were torched in Europe. Amerikans are wimping out.

Two Arrested in Louisiana and Spain for Speed Camera Attacks
At 10:30pm on March 6, a man rammed a speed camera van in Lafayette, Louisiana. According to the Lafayette Daily Advertiser newspaper, Douglas A. Begnaud, 42, turned himself in to police claiming responsibility for the incident on Ambassador Caffery Parkway that left a battered automated ticketing van lying in a ditch. Begnaud apparently had parked his 2008 GMC pickup truck in front of the van, blocking its ability to ticket. A shouting match ensued with the ticket van driver who ran away after being grabbed by Begnaud. In the police account, Begnaud used his truck to slam the van into a ditch.
Begnaud now faces charges of simple battery and simple criminal damage to property and. Each charge carries a maximum sentence of six months in jail and a $1000 fine.

In the Redflex Sniper Trial in Knoxville TN this month, police admitted they destroyed all evidence that a camera was shot by bullets, by hiding or destroying the housing with bullet holes, and hiding or destroying the bullets. This is because the actual sniper is a Knox County deputy sheriff.

I lived in England for 8 years. Never got a ticket, despite speeds almost double USA. That was the good old days, that we need to fight for.
Example of a class action v Redflex in Knoxville TN, that any person or lawyer can plagerize in any court:

Shit, I thought the new hot thing to build around was the Mazda 13B twin-rotor wankel. Small, tough, light, great power output. I still want to do a half-scale DeHavilland Mosquito out of plywood (just like the real thing), and built around two Mazda rotaries. Figure a couple thousand pounds and 500hp. Could be pretty quick... :)

The "On Fire" Economy -
The Dow closed at 10,587.60 on January 20, 2001, the day GW Bush took office. Eight years later, it closed below 8000 on the day he left office - a net loss of 25%. That's what conservatives call an economic "success".

That it might.. for a rather, err, short period of time.
You DO realize if you cut full out on a pair of 13B's with that setup you'd rip the wings off, right ?
The closest platform that *might* work would be a Focke-Wulf TA154, but scaled down like that with those monsters pulling it, I dunno.
If *I* was gonna build a 1/2 scale design around a 13B, I would go with the Junkers Ju87B Stuka, complete with Jericho Sirens, heh.
Of course, these days even the comparatively gentle stresses of an ultralight are just too hard on me physically to be much fun anymore.
Also worth a mention, you have to be a little nuts to fly one as it's barely more than a powered glider, and restricted in such a way as to make it deliberately unsafe, so that the FAA can use the inevitable crashes to push for and justify the lucrative hell of fees and bullshit they drown every other form of light aviation in, just so ya know.
It's the only class where building a little extra safety margin into your plane is actually illegal.
