The world of ultralight flying is a bit different than flying traditional general aviation aircraft. Which means this month’s aircraft spotlight on the Quicksilver Sport 2SE is going to be a little bit different as well. To help explain ultralights and their operation, we talked with Bob Comperini, a former president of the United States Ultralight Association (USUA), who also is a Designated Pilot Examiner (DPE) for both Sport Pilot and Airplane certificates. In addition, he holds a Light Sport Maintenance Repairman rating and an Independent Rotax Maintenance Technician certificate, which means he can service and maintain the Rotax series 912 engines.
