Well, if nothing else, this sure has generated a lot of discussion!
"Crow hopping BAD!"
"Fast taxiing by non pilots BAD!"
A couple of weeks ago, one of the local pilots (used to fly a Flightstar
and hang gliders) was messing with his brand new new Northwing trike. We
wasn't ready to fly it yet (sound familiar?), but he was taxiing the trike
around, without the wing attached. Wasn't used to the backwards nosewheel
steering, got going too fast when [he said] the throttle jammed open. Ran
into a woodpile, broke the prop, and dislocated his shoulder.

Dana, As of January 31, 2007 the only legal way to train an ultralight student is as a sport pilot student. An ultralight pilot is a sport pilot signed off for solo. Feel free to actually do some research by calling the Light Sport Branch before you fire off an uninformed opinion.

Neither of which apply to Part 103 ultralights, which is what Bill [accidentally] flew.
Still, I seem to recall (been a long time, I could be misremembering) my instructor having me taxi the C-150 over to the fuel pumps alone before I soloed, if the plane needed fuel and he had something to do before flying with me.

Speaking of Flightstars..... my neighbor who had the idle problem
with his dual carb 503 got it running well
again, thanks to good advice from a couple of youz guyz, which I
printed out and gave to him.
Last evening, before sunset, nice and calm and I was burning trash
(adding to global warming, pollution,
and a generally awful stench) and I hear a weedeater approaching.
Yep, pretty little single place flightstar
with the light shining through those wing socks. Looked nice, made
me feel good.
He's an old guy, maybe John H's age ...heh heh But still manages to
aviate.

Rick, my point was that while the only legal way to properly train an
ultralight pilot is as a sport pilot student, there is nothing in the
regulations that prevents an untrained pilot (or non pilot!) from taxiing,
or even flying (if it doesn't create a hazard to others), a Part 103 legal
ultralight. "Feel free to actually do some research by calling the Light

Yes, I'm assuming one would be smart enough to get training, but there are few laws against personal stupidity.

Every instructor is different too.If he/she feels or sees that a
student is safe and ready, heshe may let the student taxi or fly
early. They solo'ed me at 8:45hrs in a 172, at night, controlled
airport. Don't know if they'd do it today

Hi,
I thought that the basic rule was `point the stick into wind`.
I know that in a strong wind from behind that rule might get you into
trouble but if its that strong perhaps you shouldn`t be even taxying without
someone on the wing tip and tail.
Just a thought

Not if you have a quartering tailwind...
