@UCxrUB4j41i1INsQXGM8hrSg I would be interested in how much it weighted but until then I’m going to keep using compared to most giving me leeway in the sense that it may be heavier and even if it is who cares the guy probably had it registered driveway and why is it overweight unless you’re the FAA why?
@@Cokie907 and they’re always meant to be broken that’s why rules exist responding in that way really isn’t proving anything on your side though Wayne something and it’s Driveway I think it’s completely reasonable if you don’t well that’s your own opinion you can keep yelling at me I guess but what is that really going to do in the end
if you plan to do back country landings go with a heigh wing but if you want a cursor that can easily go from a part 103 to a full fledged traveling aircraft and dont care about outfield operations, you cant get much better than this. 61mpg in an aircraft with 100mph cruise is kindof incredible.
Do you need a licence to own it because I’ve seen a lot of CZcams videos saying you don’t need an license to own it but I don’t believe them so do you need a license or not!
If you are in the United States and your vehicle is within the limits set in FAR part 103 then your vehicle does not need to be registered as an aircraft and you are permitted to fly it without a pilot's license or medical certificate. You must also follow rules as to where you can fly such as staying out of controlled airspace and not flying over populated areas. Details explained in the article linked below. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultralight_aircraft_(United_States)
I put a 250 hp turbo 4 cylinder in a UC HUMMEL and the CG was way forward so I added 30 pounds of lead shot to the tail.I tied the spring scale to the tail wheel to get a good idea how much the thrust the engine is producing and the engine firewall let go at 75 percent power.This plane is 2 flimsy for the power.
The size, the polished metal finish, the performance....I think this is the coolest way to get up to the air!! Stunning!!!
Thank you
Looks like fun.
What a beautiful airplane you have built, well-done, sir!
Thank you
Fantastic looking I really like the look compared to most other ultra lights

Because the rules are the rules, Sonny boy.

That is one shiny little airplane! 😁 Looks a little rocky rolly up there!
Awesome video! Love watching the Hummels fly! Keep them coming. Inspiring me to finish my H5.
Thank you
Very very very beautifull....thank you very much.....Evandro Pedrosa from Brasil....
That’s a really cool plane. I’m considering getting either one of these or a Aerolite 103 in a few years

すばらしい‼️
VW motor?
1 / 2VWエンジン45hp
Excellent. Thank you for posting.
Very nice! The workmanship is beautiful. Best one I've seen so far. I didn't know you could have electric start on a 1/2 VW
Thank you
a great view of the rear view mirror.
Nice video.
That’s one sexy little bird!! I would love to have one, maybe when I retire I can make a dream a reality
Great approach and landing in such turbulence. Scary.
The low altitude is turbulent due to obstacles.
@@tfultra1 I know. Been flying ultralight and experimental aircraft for years.
its such a pretty little plane i want oneeeeee
Very nice!
Thank you
Nishikawa san project?
It has a cool "vintage" look about it.
Wow...beautiful!!
Is that a custom build, or can you buy the kit just like it is in the video?
This is an ultra cruiser that I scratch built.

Sugoi! Omedito gozaimasu!
Beautifily done. What engine?

Dang I’ve always wanted a Hummel ultra cruiser I just can’t find one for a good price
what was wind conditions? looked very darty
Yes, the 10m headwind and low altitude are disturbed by obstacles.
Dear Santa
その飛行機はかっこいいです。
自分で作りましたか？
ultra cruiser kit plane. My is a scratch build.
うへー
楽しそう
航空免許はいるのかな？
What kind of fuel so u use
Premium auto gas (high-octane gasoline for automobiles)
Sweet!!!!
Is yours a part 103
No, it exceeds the standard, it is the Japanese standard.

That airframe was only designed for 45hp max, you basically put a Ferrari engine in a smartcar
@@soaringeag1392.I will have to reinforce the engines firewall and no problem if I get caught by the FAA because I do not have a pilots license.
Thanks to people like you our country is turning into a nanny state. If you don't like abiding by the rules/laws of the FAA/US please move out.
@@EmancipatedSquirrel.more power.
I put 500 hp in mine and launch straight up from the tail, I need no wheels.
Definitely not a Part 103 ultracruiser.
Yes this is a Japanese standard
so, no experience is needed to fly this?
Nope if you wanted to you could jump in one with no previous training and try to fly it
I don't reccomend this
You mean no certifications but you differently need some training for any plane it’s all you once you leave the ground 👍
@@onthemoney7237 Emphasis on try
@@loganc2087 it’s like learning to ride a bike cycle right lol
if we can install two 7mm machine guns on both wings we can create a mini ww2 P-40E
Yes please.
@Kuba Woźny I Hope. . .
@Kuba Woźny hm, good question.
@Kuba Woźny you can purchase machine guns legally if you go through the right process at least in the US but can you mount them to an airplane? Idk
Lawnmower with wings.

You forget to say "CLEAR!!!" :)
I just yell "Get out of the way!" :-)
that thing is fucking rad
Real pilots don't need to do a run up or checklist, and they certainly don't need to use all of the runway.
Very nice!
Thank you
