Ultralights are few and far between in the Ft Lauderdale area, as we as even just open ultralight-type experimentals.

Id say the best bet is to venture north up to lantana or F45, or south into so ...

maybe i should have said, if you reference lift, and speed and airfoil shape, at those speeds the same as you do in the speeds we see in kolb s... what i said is true,,,, but,,, i am not sure ...

If you are level in cruise and ATC asks you to maintain Mach .80 or greater....are you telling me your going to pitch down to do that?

Obviously. It also has to do with a million other variables. All i was saying i ...

I kept my kolb at a hangar at Lantana airport in west palm beach. Hangar prices are insane in S Fl, but you might be able to get into where I kept mine with the wings folded for 200/month. Lantana is ...

How would driving there and camping go? Is that possible?

Thanks for the pic, i kind of tried it there and thought it wasnt going to fit....would certainly help a lot if it could. Ill try again tomorrow.

Hey all,
