Is this really an ultralight?
How about this for an ultralight:
From the same company that brought you the Texan TC, which I fly now. It goes 160 kts on a 100hp Rotax 912S! Put a real engine in that thing and watch it go 200+! It's RG, swept wing, two seater. The picture is of the 1/3 display prototype at the Friedrichshafen, Germany aviation fair 2005. According to the news release, they are starting to take orders this year.Man I'd like to fly one of those!
** Update: I talked to the FlySynthesis Rep here and apparently, FlySynthesis has put this project on hold. They have moved their factory to a larger facility, and have decided to be sensible and finish their bread and butter airplanes before they start emptying the bank account on novel airframes. They stil have to certify several of their other airplanes and in a dramatic twist, are going to try and get established before going exotic. Darn it... Estimates put this one now five years down the road.

Ed, you have to put the stamp on up-side down for it to get "down under"... maybe that's funnier in my head.
