I was talking to a couple of guys at lunch that fly Trikes and Gyro Copters Thier feeling is that The FAA is not too concerned  with Single seat ultralights  ... 

 

 I have a 5 rib firestar with a 377 Rotax ... 

 

 Are we going to get enough added weight alowance  in time or should I go ahead and do the N Number Thing ?

 

                                                                                  Thanks !

                                                                                     Dave

 My understanding is they  the FAA is happy  with part 103 as it stands. The question is are you going to be caught? I agree  over weight Ultralights are not something they are going to look for but at the  wrong place and time they might use you as a example. Do you feel  lucky?

 There will be no "added weight allowance" in time.  The FAA has repeatedly said that they intend to leave Part 103 untouched.  Anything heavier is supposed to go LSA.



 Pilots of heavy single seaters will probably get away with it until they have an accident or attract attention... at which time they'll find they're flying an unregistered aircraft with no airworthiness certificate and no annual.

 ...And no insurance. Any Insurance Company will  grab that as a get out.

 Around here, I don't think most ultralight (legal or not) pilots have insurance anyway.  It's not required by law, and it's not inexpensive.

I numbered mine and got the license. Mine weighed in at 319 lbs and I 

would usually carry an extra 6 gallons in addition to the 5 gallon 

main tank. It takes awhile to go through the process, but it's worth 

it to have the freedom to take short trips. If you try to stay under 

103 (which is next to impossible), 5-gallons doesn't allow any 

serious cross country flying. A Firestar with a 503 or larger engine 

certainly puts it out of the legal limits for an ultralight.
