LAZAIR Ultralight Aircraft

[Guest ozzie]

yeah always something getting in the way. Luskintyre xmas party this saturday, lunch with the Tigers next saturday along with the drop zones xmas party. our neighbourhood xmas street party the friday after.

 

That Lazair SS hanging up is all worn out. It was owned by the Monterey Police Dept for four years, they flew it every day the weather allowed. They also had a Quicksilver for a short time but it kept having power failures. they only had one engine failure with the SS but it could easily maintain height with the JPX engines.

 

The Lazair just celebrated it's 30th birthday out of the 3000 plus built there are still around a thousand flying. It is still number 1 of type on the Canadian ultralight register. who knows how many in the USA as they fly under FAR103 and there are no records for them. beautiful series 3 completely rebuilt going for $6000, USD. comes with floats and snow skis.

Ozzie, Would you wear a good lazair out ?. Just throw a couple new motors at it, some grease at the wheel bearings, two new castors at the tail, lube all the push rods and away you go !!.......................................................................................

The aircraft used in "The Gods Must Be Crazy 2" was based on the LAZAIR

 

I think after seeing the movie everyone wanted one as setup in the movie

 

Cheers
