I spent 3 very long and cold days and nights shooting an outdoor event. This was one of the unexpected attendes. He says he can take it up to 9800 ft, shut off the engine and it will take him 48 minutes to land. He can land on snow, water, or any very hard packed surface.

I missed a nice shot by losing part of his wing. I have only use brightness and contrast a bit, no color enhancement at all.

Not something I would want to ride in.

A friend of mine once did a quick analysis fo Ultralight craft for me, after I had expressed some interest. he said, "At the beginning of the aviation age, what were airplanes made of? Bits of this, bits of that, fabric, paper, and wood. They crashed a lot, right? Now, what are Ultralights made of?"
