So, from what I'm learning here, we need (initially) weight increases up to 750kg, so we can be sure that out two seat aircraft are strong enough to carry two of our typical 100kg pilots, but we want to fly for five hours each time, so we need to carry 150 litres of fuel.
When we go through and crunch the numbers, and take into account that (supposedly) our manufacturers can't be trusted to build a structure that can carry that weight, we also have to install a 25kg BRS system.
Naturally when we want to go out and do five hours worth of circuits, we should take some luggage with us as well as a survival pack.
We should also have a full IFR panel in case it gets cloudy, as well as epirbs, tie down kits, and maybe a small tool box.
Can't imagine why, because most of the people (that have the money and are pushing for these planes) wouldn't know one end of a screwdriver from the other!
OK so, so far we really need our ultralight recreational aircraft to have a weight category more like 1500kg!
Maybe we should also allow to fit a second engine to increase our reliability?
Not sure how that works with Jabiru engines, does that mean we should fit three of them, just to hedge the odds?
Or if you have a Jab, maybe the second engine should be a Rotax, just in case....
Oh, sorry, you wanted two Lycomings, well OK then, we all know Continentals will blow up on you..
Anybody remember how to start a Wheeler Pixie.....?
