I have a vintage ultralight, a Hummingbird. It's a V tail single seat open aircraft. This is the ultimate ultralight BUT it can be set up as a TWIN! Yes, Originally it had a pair of 8hp engines on each wing. A previous owner retrofitted a Rotax 277 for additional power and simplicity as well as maintainability because parts are available for the 277 and not the original engines. The sails are in good enough shape for patterns to make a new set of sails. The airplane also comes with a spare 277 for parts as well. The main problem is the front wheel. It was showing fatigue cracks from over time so I fabricated a new front fork and got new azusa wheels and Carlisle tundra tires to give it some more flex in the landing gear. The front fork's and all are still apart and I'm not interested in getting this airplane flying. It would be easily worth twice if not more in flying shape. I'd like to get the value of the engines out of the whole thing and see it go to someone who can work on it and get it flying.
