    I don't know about ultralight planes. I do have experience with powered parachutes and the FAA. I was allowed to jump from a PPC by the FAA, infact the person who gave me that permission was the head of the ultralight part of the FAA and was there to whitness the event. He told me that it was otherwise ilegal to jump from a PPC, unless it had a tail number wich is posssible to do. PPC's are to be used for instruction only if they are two place machines. However I will say that while working for the biggest manu of powered parachutes I would often jump from the machines with out notems. Have fun and be carefull jumping ppc's, they can be dangerous with the exit. www.greenboxphotography.com

    Go for the PPC, they are a wonderfull experience. PPC's have to be flown in as near perfect conditions, this insures safer flights as well as enjoyable flights. PPc's fly slower then ultralights and hey thats the dream right? low and slow flight for longer durations? The next positive, they are jumpable! many models are very jump friendly. Becarefull in choosing your brand, there are alot of companys coming and going right now, stick with some that have been around and proven. I used to work for a company that built them as a rigger, if you have any questions email me. Choose the PPC man, it's the best. jdthomas@terraworld.net www.greenboxphotography.com
