I have been flying ultralight since the late 90's early 2000s. I was trained on a fix wing ultralight, I later got interested in flying planes and got my medical license for flying and started flying a Cessna 172M I few a few hours, ran out money due to the travel to get to the airport, it was a 47 min to an hour drive, not to mention the cost of the rent of the airplane, and cost of gas (aircraft gas). I decide to go back to flying ultralights and I bought a powered paraglider, then I bought another one (I have two powered paragliders)
unlike aircraft, Ultralights (including powered paragliding) do not need to be certified, OR licensed. If someone want to fly and don't want to spend up to 20K to get a license and up to 100K for a airplane, ultralights are the way to go.
