Aerolite 103 Ultralight Aircraft for sale $8500 Flight Demo:SOLD FOR $7500

SOLD. The Aerolite 103 is an American single seat, high-wing, pusher configuration ultralight aircraft, designed by Terry Raber The aircraft's model number indicates that it was designed to comply with the Federal Aviation Administration FAR 103 ultralight rules. The Aerolite 103 features a high wing with half-span flaps that are extended by use of an overhead bellcrank to a maximum of 40 degrees. The flight controls are three-axis and are actuated by a wheel mounted on a control column via flexible push-pull cables and conventional rudder pedals connected to the rudder by cables. The engine throttle is a twist-grip type and incorporates a brake lever to operate the non-differential mechanical drum brakes installed on the main wheels of the tricycle landing gear.[4][6]
The aircraft has conventional nose wheel steering connected to the rudder pedals. The main landing gear utilizes sprung-tubes for suspension and absorbing landing loads. There is a fourth small caster-wheel under the tail, because when the pilot's seat is unoccupied the aircraft rests on its tail, due to the aircraft's empty center of gravity.[4]

Dang it! Only missed it by 6-1/2 years. So close.

[genogeno]

What an outstanding job on the covering! Whoever bought this from you got a heck of a deal...

[ocieadams]

If this aircraft is to be flown as an ultralight, the sky is not quite the limit. The FAR Part 103 Ultralight Rules are the limits. Weight and airspeed are the biggest limiting factors. Max empty weight on wheels is 254 pounds, max airspeed at full power in level flight is 55 knots calibrated airspeed. It is a good looking aircraft.

I don't know much about the variety of different ultralights out on the market but this is the first model I remember seeing with flaps.

[josiahgil]

I had a dream that I was flying a small plane with my brother and woke up thinking about this ultra light

[kennethperian]

I’ll come and pick it up in Dallas TX myself in my truck and trailer, and I live south east TENNESSEE.

[crazykuup]

That’s amazing and it cost less than a And you don’t have to worry about collapsing your wing or getting tangled and dying!!! That’s sweet

[gliderrider]

Dang it! Only 5 years to late. Just missed it!

[LarryAnnen]

Clean, pretty and looks like it handles well. I'd love a 2 seat version with a bit more power.

[alanregala]

I love the design and look. If I would add something it will be an electric starter.

[shabbirahmedmahmoodkhan]

[jonathansimmonds]

So what's good about no licence? Would you feel the same about driving a car?

[quinnjim]

The good news is that you get a spare snowmobile engine when you buy it!

[Alpha-Ultra]

I'm looking to buy my first ultra light

[irvincutler]

Where can I purchase an ultralight aircraft? Preferably a 2 seat

[williamdrow]

Two cycle engine means "two stroke cycle" as opposed to a "four stroke cycle". My car has a four stroke cycle engine . My moped has a two stroke cycle engine, which is simple, light-weight, but needs oil added to the gasoline.

[mikewing]

this is one of the best airplane out there i ownd a quicksilver 2 seat loved it but it did not have flapes or ailorones this would be my next plane someday very nice design

[HillbillyRednecking]

Would it be easy to install a whole plane parachute?

[davidjones]

Sold that a few years ago, right? How about getting this off of there bud?
