Well, I finally got in a good flight.  The engine problem turned out to be 

a bad primer bulb, presumably a blockage as the air bubbles didn't appear 

until the filter, which is downstream of the bulb.  This time there were no 

problems at all, and I tooled around for a half hour, getting the feel of 

the plane, only landing due to sunset.



It's a bit weird... all of my ultralight experience (except for PPG) is in 

Quicksilvers, but the Ultrastar flies so much like a "real" airplane that 

it's easy to forget it's an ultralight, until it does something 

ultralight-like.  Still working on getting "the picture" and judging the 

glide slope (one area where it's definitely NOT like a Quick!)... I kept 

overshooting.  Stall is at an indicated 35, so anything the ASI says is 

definitely suspect.



I think I'm gonna like this plane...
