Ultralight Fun

[scubakobe]

A few weeks ago I took a trip to Quartzite,AZ (Just past the eastern border of California) and my Uncle and his friends did some flying. It wasn't Cessna's or anything, but cessnas or not, it was fun! ;D

Here I am waiting to taxi (I'm on back)

Thats me taking a picture just after take off

---

Here is a nice shot of the arid Arizona terrain

There is one of our flight buddies having fun landing on a road

---

and my personal favorite, this was shot right after we left for a beautiful sunset flight

I hope you enjoyed these pictures as much as I enjoyed the fun in the air ! I sure wish I could be up in the air right now

Nice pictures, that must have been a fun time. I live in Arizona and would love to see some textures in FS that showed Arizona more like it really is.

Have you tried Bill Lyons' Challenger II Ultralight for FS2004? It's a lot of fun and a nice change once and a while.

Haven't tried his challenger, but I will give it a try.
I have used the Kolb Firefly from avsim, its pretty good but its flight characteristics aren't realistic I feel.

Thanks for the comments

There's also another nice ultralight, but I forget where it is (SuClaro I think)...The Cosmos.

Wish I could have done that! Looks like a lot of fun! And hey, as good a FS is there's no substitute for the real thing!

[scubakobe]

Yup, certainly no substitute,
I love the funny stall feeling too, and there's no way FS could replicate that
