So I've always been into aviation. Been working on and off for about a year to get my Private Pilot's certification but had to stop at the beginning of the year. Decided I wanted to pick up an Ultralight so I could fly on my own when I wanted and for the most part where I wanted with some restrictions. Not to mention it lets you fly without the constant oversight and permission of "Big Brother".
Anyone here fly ultralights?
Picked up the Hy-Tec Hurricane over the weekend. Here's some vids and pics.
Video compilation of the first day I had it doing familiarization flights on a dry lake bed (El Mirage Dry Lake).

After first few landings
About 1500 feet AGL looking down on the landing area. You can barely make out the truck and another ultralight on the lake bed.
On the truck ready to come back to San Diego
After getting the wings back on and putting it in it's new hangar
The day after getting the wings on a buddy of mine and I went up and he got some arieal video of me. It was a flight with a member of the SDUA to get familiar with the area around the field. Saw a few dual sports on some dirt roads around otay lakes road.
Then a little video from last night doing a late evening sunset flight.
