Do you have a private pilots liscence?

You don't need a license for the ultralights, do you? Where goes the FAA draw the line between ultralight aircraft requiring a license and a check out and those that don't?

I think it is in the weight and performance. Seems like 360lbs and a Max speed under 60mph or something like that.

Ultralight definition is single passenger, empty weight max of 254 lbs, top speed at level flight 55 knots, max fuel capacity 5 gallons.

Any configuration, fixed wing, parasal, hang glider trike, even helicopter if it meets these 4 criteria is an "ultralight".

Most "ultralights" are way over the weight limit, and the FAA seldom enforces it. Unless you injure someone else or damage other property, the FAA typically doesn't want to know or get involved. If there is an "ultralight" accident and no one dies or no other property damaged, they won't even come out to investigate.
