Blog About Ultralight Aircraft

Powered paragliders are some of the most affordable ultralight aircraft. Yes, they don't have all the controls an airplane has, but they are so easy to use and cheap to buy.

Here are eight lovely images of powered paragliders:

1. Blue Italian Sky

This one soars in the perfectly blue sky above Italy. Lovely!

2. Italy, Under The Sun

This one is made from the same photographer but you can see the hot Sun.

3. Close Look At The Paraglider Engine

An excellent photo showing the paraglider in details.

4. Amazing Landscape From California

California is not only beaches. See what this guy is flying above!

5. Above Tomato Fields, USA

You can see and learn so much about agriculture when flying a powered paraglider :-)

6. Look In The Mirror

Another lovely picture by Bruce!

Under The Moon

Flying a powered paragliding in the evening can be especially scenery.

8. Above The Dunes

And at the end enjoy this amazing picture from the dunes in Glaims, California

You can see most of the photos even larger if you click on them. Then on Flickr click on "Actions" and "View all sizes".

This time I just want to share a cool video showing 10-minutes flight with an ultralight trike. It's recorded directly from the pilot's seat which makes it really amazing and helps you feel like really flying. It's cool to see how the trike takes off and lands on the road.

Looks like the man who recorded the video is also selling these trikes for $15,000. He claims even that you need no license of any kind. $15k may be slightly expensive for a trike, but this thing is actually like a flying car, seems to be pretty comfortable although you can't see the entire thing on the video. You can find the seller's phones in the "more info" section in the author's profile.

Watching the video is free for sure so just enjoy it:

This is another blog written by a large air carrier pilot. The Views From the Left Seat blog contains a lot of photos from the cities the pilot is visiting, of other aircraft and interesting sights. It's one of the few aviation blogs that are updated really frequently with original content, and not just preprinted news.

The blog has started in 2007.

The author is also managing another blog only with photos from the aviation world - it's called Plane & Simple. It contains mostly photos of commercial airplanes.

Here's another good and frequently updated aviation blog - Around The Pattern. The blog is managed by a retired military pilot who also owns a personal light sport aircraft.

The blog offers interesting aviation news, reviews of seminars and aviation museums, military flying stories.

As a reader of Ultralight-Airplanes.info I believe you can be most interested in the posts about Sport Flying and Aircraft Maintenance.

The author is also a Twitter user, so if you are part of the new hot thing, you can follow him.

It looks like a Wordpress based blog so you can also follow the posts by RSS.

Many of us like not only real aircraft but also aircraft toys, so I thought it might be a good idea to present you this new website.

Retro and Mechanical Toys is a website for good old toys, not just aircraft. The site contains easy to understand technical information about various kinds of mechanisms and toys, toy reviews and will soon offer good old fashioned toys for sale.

The site has the information organized in several sections - mechanical toys, wind ups, cam toys, crank toys, tin toys, spring toys and making toys yourself.

I know this site isn't exactly aviation related, but it's so nice so I am sure those who love old fashioned toys like I do will love it.

Here is another interesting aviation related blog - The Wings Stayed On!. It is managed by a thirty years aviation veteran which certainly makes it ineteresting for newbies like me.

The blog is almost 3 years old - started in November 2006 and already has more than 200 posts. There are quite interesting things, not just personal diary, but a lot of videos, reports and more.

I liked especially the series of more than 30 posts called "A day in the life" explaining what exactly the pilot does during his flights. The first post of the series is here.

Make sure also to read the "What's this about" section under the links at left, as it will explain you better what this great blog has to offer you.

And don't forget that if you have an aviation related blog, I'd love to review it!

Many people who read this site are interested not only in ultralight airplanes but also in other aviation activities.

If you are one of them, you will be pleased to know that we created a new website about Safe Skydiving. Visit the site and please send us your feedback! Hope you'll like it.

Here is a very cool and busy blog and podcast site about aviation. The AirPigs publishes a new story each 2-3 days and sometimes has more than one story per day.

The podcasts contain interviews with pilots, designers, aircraft engineers and I guess any other folks who are related to aviation.

The fans of model airplanes will find paper airplane instructions with pictures and videos.

Unfortunately they don't write about ultralight aircraft often, but you know anyway that here is the place for such information.

The AirPigs is a lovely blog and worths a visit!

We are trying to popularize the ultralight aviation to as many people as possible. So a logical next step was to bring the site to the attention to people who don't speak English.

The first non-English version of the site is now available - Aeroplanos Ultraligeros!

I want to quickly introduce you a nice aviation related blog and thus start a new category here - quick blog reviews. I hope they'll help you find more interesting and useful sites about ultralight and recreational aviation.

The Adventures of Chopper Chick! is the blog of Desiree Horton - a helicopter pilot from Los Angeles. Yes, she's a girl, she's cute and she's posting lovely pictures from her chopper!

Desiree's blog is frequently updated and full with personal experiences, pictures and comments that will be interested for everyone who loves helicopters.

She has also collected and sorted lots of useful links about aviation, so make sure to check them out.

And if you are really interested in helicopters, don't forget to learn more about the homebuilt helicopters as well!
