I was reading FAR 103 just now and noticed that they call for the 24 knot stall speed to be for the power off variety. Would anyone know if this would forbid the use of flaps to meet this speed?
Also, what kind of G ratings would an ultralight really need? I had initially thought 6G's, but am wondering if that is truly necessary. There would be no aerobatics performed. However, I have read about ultralights getting bounced around pretty badly by wake turbulence and other such stuff. I was recently thinking about the 4.4G's called out for the utility category, but am a bit worried about turbulence, etc. Any thoughts?
