The ultralight is great, so easy to go out and fly for 30-45 minutes checking irrigation and such. Burns about 4 gallons/hr. I can get off of 500 ft of smooth surface pretty easy, routinely take off in 3-4 tower lengths of a 7 tower valley pivot off of my field road behind the house but could probably get off in 2 towers if I really wanted to and had a little headwind. Hardly ever get it over 300 ft off the ground flying around here, it's a blast!
