Looking to Build a Ultralight

[ryanjames170]

I am looking to Build a Ultra light aircraft so far i dont know a whole lot about ultralights tbh.

i do know what i would like to build and have. its a traditional type ultralight ie engine in the front, 2 wings tail cockpit ect.

I would like to have a 4 Cycle engine but i am unsure of what type or how much HP id need,

i know how much i weight witch is about 160-195 lbs and i would like to have like 10-25lbs of extra for a bag of some sort.

now if i got the FAA regs right the aircraft can only weigh 254lbs dry and cant go over 55 Kts at altitude in level flight.

i am curious is there any kit type aircraft out there that might come close to what i am looking for? i know i liked how the Mini Max was build but there no longer being made but is there something simular out there?

thank you
Ryan
