One of the great things about ultralights is that they are even more flexible than experimental aircraft in what a pilot can and can't do with them (within the few FAA/FAR Part 103 regulations). Engines are a major part of any aircraft and many options are available for ultralights. This Forum is for that discussion.

So I'm looking at engines to hang off the front of my eventual F-5 Fujita. The Polini engines are pretty amazing.
