Just thought I'd let you guys know that a Titan Tornado S was voted Grand Champion - Light Plane at 2005 Oshkosh which just finished on the 31st July - not bad considering a Titan Tornado 912 was Grand Champion there in 2000 as well! :D

<SNIP>Are you saying there is no international standard. <SNIP> Correct! Actually "ULTRA" light is generally classed as less than "MICRO" light. (e.g. USA and Canada) It is confusing - they should actually call them "NANO" lights if they are using the same terminology as Micro. It just depends where...

<SNIP>glynhall, I dont agree with the ultralight, it can be in the ML-Category under 450kg. Ultralights are basically composit A/C's.<SNIP> Ultralights are generally aircraft that are single seater with a MTOW of under around 300kgs (weight from memory?) In the USA they have to conform to FAR103 and...

Re: Which Ultralight??

Ok lets now look at what Lodewyk actually wanted: "2 seat ultralight" - this would be in fact a microlight - a 2 seater aircraft with a Max Take Off Weight under 450Kgs - a 4 seater Jabiru certainly would not fit into this category.
