Our Mission: | |
|||
|
We will strive to keep the original intent
of Part 103 alive and well within our Chapter. We will also do our
best to preserve the origins of ultralight flight in our area by keeping
original designs flying safely. We will do our best to keep our membership
involved in the continuing education, advancement and overall spirit
of light aviation. We will work to present new ideas and ways in which
to keep our membership informed and involved in the latest news and
technology available. We are, and will continue to be, a family orientated
group of aviation enthusiasts. Our intent is to include all family
members in our monthly Chapter meetings and all annually scheduled
events. It is also our mission to introduce and educate the general
public about ultralights and light aviation whenever and where ever
possible.

Who are We? | |
What Do We Do? | |
|
We
are men and women, even young family members who share an interest
in light aviation, from hang -gliding to homebuilt sportplanes. Our
main focus is the ultralight Air Vehicle, a special category of sport
aircraft defined by the Federal Aviation Administration to allow flying
with minimum of regulation.
|
|
We meet monthly
and discuss news and upcoming activities, as well as technical questions
and helpful anecdotes about the latest building and maintenance "dos
and don'ts". We also gather for a number of traditional fly-ins and
campouts, some as far as 100 miles from the location where we meet.

Where Do We Fly? | |
Where Do We Meet? | |
|
When we are not flying to, from, or around one of our regular events, many members head off in ones and twos for some local flying from their home bases, or trailer to other events, even traveling cross-country to some very exotic destinations. Jumbo Jets vs ultralights ? We stay away from busy commercial airports, preferring grass strips and smaller municipal airfields. The Microlite Flyers have been serving S.E. Wisconsin and our remote members as well as the general community for over 20 years. | |
During the colder months we meet indoors often at local restaurants. Meetings start at 7:30pm the SECOND Tuesday of each month. During the flying months, we often have a brief meeting during one of our fly-in events. Check our Late Breaking page for information on when and where we are meeting this month. Hope to see you all there! | |
