UltraFlight Radio can now be found live on Tuesday mornings right here on the web at www.ultraflightradio.com at 10:00am Eastern Standard Time and 7:00am Pacific Time. But you don't have to hear it live to hear it.

You can also hear (previous shows) at the show archive. We make it convenient for you.

To be a part of the show and you are in the U.S., you can call toll-free: 1-866-613-1612. If you are somewhere that the toll-free number does not work, you can reach us at 1-858-268-3068. Another (often better) way to get questions to us is by E-mail. You can write Roy at roy@easyflight.com

Eric Dufour, Para-Motor City
The lines between Powered Parachuting and Powered Paragliding have been blurring for quite awhile. Powered Parachutes are sometimes using elliptical wings and Powered Paragliders are sometimes using wheels. Eric Dufour talks about the Mini PPCg which, as the name implies, combines a lot of the features of both sports. It's a light weight, Part 103 machine that is gaining its own market. Para-Motor City

Ronnie Smith, South Mississippi Light Aircraft
A listener has a Rotax 447 engine that's been sitting for two years and now he can't get any fire to the plugs. This is really confusing because before the engine was stored it started fine. He's looking for suggestions as to what to look for and Ronnie Smith is where we're looking. If you have questions while the show is live, IM them in on Yahoo Instant Messenger to UFRadio. Roy@EasyFlight.com is the address you can use to E-mail those questions in, if that's the way you prefer to communicate. South Mississippi Light Aircraft

Jim Sweeney, SweeneyCorp, NAPPF Board Member
Jim joins us for a discussion about the different flavors of sport aviation. We compare light airplanes, trikes, powered parachutes, powered paragliders, and gyroplanes. The categories of aircraft each have their advantages and we talk about why people fly each of them. SweeneyCorp, NAPPF

On November 5th 2006, Dan Grunloh completed a cross-country flight which qualifies him for the FAI Gold Colibri Award. The Colibri are a series of internationally recognized achievement awards for ultralight or microlight pilots. One of the things he had to do to earn the award, was fly a predicted cross-country flight of 850 miles in 4.5 days using only traditional navigation methods of pilotage and dead reckoning. No GPS was used. Dan talks about his experiences in what has become a rare kind of cross country flying. USUA Information on Dan's Gold Colibri (2/20/07)
