Wow, nice area to fly Medford. I fly a Beaver and Lazair in the mountain areas of BC,Canada Mainly on floats. But the weather sucks up here most of the time. I think I like to move down there. I need more airtime. Nice vid.

South Dakota a good place to fly. Let me warn you that these little airplanes like motorcycles you will find yourself wanting to do nothing else but go fly someplace for the day. The "BUG" bites you hard and you just can not get enough.

Way friggin cool. Thank you. But I want you to know I've been thinking so hard about selling one of my Harley's and building one of these. I was born and raised in Coos Bay and remember watching the light's fly over the sand dune's. I alway's wanted too. I'm moving to South Dakota soon. Tell me that would not be a great place to fly!!!

oh wow, It is probably very risky to use ground effect at that kind of enviornment anyways huh?. Really beautiful flying i really enjoyed it, i might do that some day using a plane that I may design with huge fuel tank.

No ground effects we had to make many trips back to re-fuel. Took about 3 weeks to get all the footage. We were limited back then to a 2.5 gal gas tank to stay within weight limits.

Are they using ground effect advantage to improve range?

Very entertaining video indeed! I live in the vacinity where this was filmed and can really appreciate the beauty of the Table Rocks and Rogue River! I remember when ultralight operations existed on the East side of KMFR. Now you need a card key just to get on the field!

Great video! I fly a Hummingbird 103. It flies great but is just a bit light on power. I am using the original Solo 210 engines. Low and slow, it IS where the fun is.

Many thanks. If you're ever this side of the pond look me up and we can go flying in the Scottish Highlands! Stormin

Al, Great video. I fly a Skyranger in Scotland! As a result of a rule change here we can now fly sub 115kg ultralights (microlights as we call them) without a heavy regulatory burden. Any US aircraft you'd recommend in this category? Storminatwork PS Check out my vids on Youtube ...although they aint the same quality as yours!!!)
