The reasons given by AOPA for getting out of the Ultralight biz were 1) impending new regulations which would probably require licensing; and 2) strong resentment against ultralights from the "genuine pilot" membership. -- Doug Pardee -- Terak Corp. -- !{ihnp4,seismo,decvax}!noao!terak!doug ^^^^^--- soon to be CalComp
