I had a weed Hopper we back in 1984 really liked it but engines back then I had lots of problems nowadays they have you know good ones I saw that aerolite 103 and I liked it but wasn't too informed about it all you've been a big help thanks again
I believe this to be the best ultralight plane out there. It has great looks, safe and proven put the parachute on the plane and make it even more safe the price at around $20000 a real bargain and the performance is great also you have a few engine choices. All n all for what you get this is the BEST ultralight out there. GOD BLESS
Merrill Isaacson, I was curious about how much aileron authority the Aerolite 103 has. You compared it to a Cessna 150, which I've flown and it has good aileron authority. My only real life flying experience with ultralights was with a Challenger. The Challenger that I flew did not have good aileron authority thus turns were made mostly by rudder, instead of coordinated aileron/rudder turns as in most GA planes. Also, how does the Aerolite 103 handle winds, say 10 knots? Nice video!
1:37 I think it unwise to fly such a shallow descent profile on base and final over that swamp. Are you not able to "slip" the Aerolite to achieve steep descent? If note, how about mount a solid panel in the rear structure to offer wind resistance when slipping.
Looks like a blast. I have my glider rating and am looking for an ultralight. Not crazy about the yoke, but this thing is much nicer looking than a quicksilver.
I have a 2006 Aerolite 103 with new Kawsaki440A fan cooled engine never flown yet engine broken in. What mix ratio do i use 32:1 and how much do you weigh I'm 200. I'm concerned about thrust have a 60" prop 3blade composite material with 14degree pitch. Do think it is enough to get of ground?
I have a weedhopper with a Kaw440 and a 3 blade ultraprop and 14 degree pitch blocks and I weigh 270 lol you'll be fine. 32/1 at break in, 40/1 after its broken in
Hands-down the best ultralight video I have ever watched. No music!!! , no wind noise!!! No babbling LOL.

Wonderful flight! Just subbed and glad I found your channel. You flying my dream machine…..the Yaba Daba Doo 103!
I really enjoyed watching this. Those Aerolites look like a blast to fly! Thanks for posting!
Excellent video. Very smooth on the controls.
Thanks for the great video...Great PT.
that is the biggest 5 gallon tank I have ever seen.
Atta Boy Merrill ! You Rock Dude
I could watch this video over and over again. David
6 years as a battle station planesman, I can finally see the target!
Great video. Thank you for sharing
WHAT A LIFE THAT WOULD BE
Makes me want to go out and buy one! David
Beautiful!
I love the video....Thanks for doing these for us...what website can I find out more about that engine ?
Awesome flying & video!
That's it, I'm getting one.

I gotta stop watching these Aerolite flight videos. I'll end up buying one...

can not go wrong with this one. I'm not a stick or tail wheel guy. Transition into this from Cessna's was easy. I think it flys much like a light 150.
Thanks ! This video is some years old ~ how has the plane held up over time ?
Nice video...
Awesome Merrill... :)
How do you like the Kawasaki 440? Any problems with it?
I will have to get one I think
goofyfoot2001 I'm going to! I used to have a 'Cobra' ultralight, and looking for a good deal on one now.
Love it! What's the range?
BEST VIDEO EVER
I noticed your throttle is on the right side. Didn't know that was an option.
Awesome vid! How'd you get into this?
Where in Florida are you located?
No more video's. What's up. Looks like you would have more.
Хороший самолёт !
Какой мотор и его мощность ?
Are those the stock tires and wheels?

weed hopper I. Had a weed hopper in 1983 loved it but prop wash sucked. Lol.
Looks like you need to be a contortionist to get into that seat….
What is your average roll out distance?
What engine do you have on your Aerolite?
Kawasaki 440A belt drive
Bruce Hudson is it a 2 stroke?
@@T.RockTx yep
can you sell your homemade plane to us? if so, what will be price?
Md.Fazlul Haque Saazad you can build one as a kit.. look up far 103 affordaplane too.. I’m building one of those
