Sorry to go off subject. In addition to the Cherokee we own 4 hang gliders and a plans built ultralight aircraft called a “skypup”. The skypup has a 28 hp Rotax 277 and can become airborne in less than 50 feet if you have any type of headwind at all. It can land in a short area as well depending on the surface, but it has no brakes except your feet which you can drag on the ground through a hole in the floor.

Ours doesn't have a windshield like the one in the picture because they get in the way when entering and exiting the aircraft and the motor itself acts as a windshield. It is an absolutely amazing "little" craft. The wingspan is actually wider than our Cherokee. With the Rotax engine ours actually weighs in at a little over 200 pounds. It can stay in the air at a low throttle setting, sipping just over a gallon an hour. When the winds aloft are over 25mph you can fly it backwards. I sometimes used to "hover" over the water in an inlet in front of a restaurant in Purdy Washington. It was great fun.
