We are in the process of testing a new email notification system. Our forum email service has been down for some time. This system allows you to send messages to other forum members, sends an email when a post you're following changes, and other notices that are sent via email. Hopefully this new system will continue to work properly. So if you're interested in a particular post, you can now follow it and be notified when it changes or a new message is posted. That's rather nice, instead of having to check every few days to see if something new has been added. There is also another upgrade to the forum version. Only minor changes, but it's always best to get these changes made. We'll get to that as soon as possible. You can hide this announcement now that you've read it by clicking on the little "X" in the upper right corner of the announcement window. Thanks for being a member. We appreciate your participation.

Yes indeed the UL sport is growing. Some of you may know of Jonas Marcinko on YouTube. He's a sort of excitement flight junky. Some think he pushes his luck while other's admire his eccentric nature. If I recall correctly, Jonas had an incident with his Capella some time back. He is in the process of rebuilding it, adding new equipment and getting it flight ready. However the itch to fly soon must be biting at him as he's purchased a used Airbike UL. He's very familiar with the Airbike as it was one of his first planes to fly many years ago. He has some work to do on the Airbike but I'm sure he'll have it up and flying soon. Here's a video that Peer/LA F2 Flyer found on YouTube which Jonas posted yesterday (3/10/2022). With higher profile YouTube content providers who are also pilots posting such videos - it's obvious that the UL Sport will grow and maybe even get back to its original height of popularity of many years ago. Jonas seems to be stoked about having an Airbike again. Here's the video -
