Great little "low'n'slow"! Thanks Craig:ernae:

Interesting design.
I used to fly ultralights when I was much, much younger, and I still have a love for 'em.

I'm curious, where is the fuel tank(s), in the wings?

[falcon409]

Always room for a rig like that. Wish I had gotten a bit farther with ultralights when they were popular, but "ill prepared" pilots (and I use the term "pilots" very loosely) made it a short lived phenomenon. Should be fun to fly!:salute:

Actually the ultralight community is very alive and well here in the US, thanks in part to the EAA: http://www.eaa.org/ultralights/
(Although in my opinion, ultralights enjoy more popularity overseas.)

Ultralights here these days are not given the scrutiny as they were 30 years ago when they were being demonized by the Media, IMHO.
I know of a few guys in the area here that operate them, in fact they were out last week when we were having warm weather.
It was nice to hear the drone of a Rotax equipped Eipper MX overhead.

And I am actually thinking of getting back into the sport after all these years.
It was a very fun part of my life.

I really miss my MX.

Looks nice!

I really miss my MX.

Yep, the "QuickSilver" was what I was referring to. Dealerships at that time were relatively easy to get into, but by the time I had everything in line to make a move, the "media" and those "Ill prepared pilots" I spoke of pulled the rug out from under sales. I used to be able to drive down Hwy. 75 at that time from McKinney to South Dallas and see half a dozed dealerships along the highway, plus several out here at the airport. Today, nothing.

That's a Quicksilver MX

[Cazzie]

Uh-oh, Piglet's stolen his way into Full's house and they've been drinking together!

Dang, that's fine Craig, you can bet I'll get a little wear out of that, being the low and slow guy I am.

You're a star, Craig. Thanks so much!

Thanks everyone,

I had a lot of help from the owner of a MW6 on this project. I hope you enjoy it

I've included 3 paint schemes and a quick start guide.

Another masterpiece! Nice work, Craig!

Fantastic. Seen many of these when I was flying microlights. I'm hoping someone does a Flash II Alpha or a Blade sometime
