“What on Earth is that?” asked plenty of people at Sun ‘n Fun 2017. We completely agree with their question as that’s about what we said, too, after stumbling on this fun little design. It was at first tied down in transient parking in the Ultralight Area called Paradise City at the Lakeland show. However, in a day or so, it got moved to a very prominent location by the PC Volunteer Tent because many attendees couldn’t find it hiding behind a row of porta-potties. After the move, people were crawling all over it, almost literally. If you could not make the show, we are pleased to present Brian Austein’s homemade, one-of-a-kind, not-for-sale ultralight using model airplane building techniques. He flew it at the show to prove this is not simply a showpiece. Enjoy this look!

Where can I purchase one?
Hi Johnny: Regretfully, you cannot. It was a one-off design from a talented young designer who succumbed to illness and died.
