Hard to place sites - also for light aviation pilots

Some sites are very nice to view but not really related to ultralight flying - instead of ignoring them, they have been put into this group.

Description of ultralight aviation site

Aeroquiz

Much of the knowledge in formal tests is forgotten once the test is past, and even more usefull aviation knowledge is not in the handbooks. Aeroquiz.net gathers these little but nice aviation facts and presents them in the form of question (biweekly newsletter with the most recent questions) for fun and continuous learning of pilots.

No nice pictures of an ultralight - but enjoy the nice non-UL pictures anyway. Pictures of the day since June 16th, 1995.

Long EZ

Designed in the mid 1980's by aircraft design legend Burt Rutan, The Long-EZ has become the most popular "Plans Built" aircraft in existence. The LongEZ is a refinement of Burt's two earlier designs, the VariViggen and the Vari-EZ. These refinements make the Long EZ a comfortable long distance, high altitude, cross country flying machine. - Very good site with a lot of information and downloads.

Or·ni·thop·ter /ôrn-thptr/
