other little "planes" like in the background of your pic??....Some have the hang glider type wings and some have a parachute.....one of the retired firefighters here in Athens used to sell that type....I always wondered how much $$ and how high they'd fly?
The ones with the "hang glider" type wings are called trikes or weight shift aircraft and can fly however high you want to fly, up to about 10,000 feet (if you have big enough gonads to fly that high) and cost anywhere from about $2,000 for a used one on up to $25,000 or more for a new one.
As a matter of fact, I have a little single seat that Joanne was taking lessons for, (but never soloed in) for sale. I'm just getting it cleaned up and getting it ready to put on the market. Probably ask about $3,000 for it. Ummmm, but you would probably be to heavy for it! I think max pilot weight for it was about 200 lbs.

plenty of!!!....LMAO....
.....I'm weighing in at around 205-210 lbs according to if you weigh me BEFORE or AFTER supper!!......
...
....Can't we fudge a little on the weight requirements??...LOL...I can barely afford to keep ONE Valk running, let alone a plane!!
I was thinking that the ones with the parachutes on them might be safer if the engine were to conk out.....and PLEASE tell me they don't have Hardley engines on them??!!....
