Can you imagine to fly sitting on a chair with a propeler above you but no cockpit or anything at all? This is what most ultralight helicopters are!
Of course there are some who have a primitive cockpit but the main idea behind an ultralight helicopter is to reduce costs and the overall weight of the machine.
Due to that the ultralight helicopters are very affordable with the one that is claimed to be cheapest costs just $8000!
Of course in most cases you cannot just buy a ready helicopter that easy even if it's an ultralights. Most ultralight helicopters are sold in kit form which means you will have to build your helicopter yourself. This may take a lot of time and requre a lot of work on your side.

What About Ultralight Helicopters?
Recently I came across this helicopter site and got excited how simple an ultralight helicopter can be done.
If by any chance you don't know, the helicopters are fairly more complex engines than the "regular" airplanes because of their specifics. Helicopters are also much harder to pilot unless you are very experienced.
Fortuntately the ultralight helicopters are much more simplifyed - they often have no cockpit at all but just a propeler and a seat.
It may sound a bit unbelievanble but some people even build ultralight helicopters themselves! That's truly amazing and if you read that article you'll see it is not really as hard.
Have you ever though about building your own ultralight helicopter yourself?

Can You Build Ultralight Airplane Yourself?
The people who love flying are eager to know if they can build their ultralight airplane yourself. For the inexperienced people this may seem totally insane, but the thruth is there are thousands of enthusiasts who built airplanes themselsves.
There are two ways to do this. The most popular way is to use ultralight aircraft kit. Building an ultralight airplane with an ultralight aircraft kit is achievable even for non engineers. A lot of models are sold as kits so there is enough choice for everyone.
Another option is to build your airplane by purchasing plans and building everything yourself. This is very time consuming and quite hard, often requiring engineering knowledge. However it is a common practice for many enthusiasts to built aircraft like that. Such airplanes are called experimental homebuilt airplanes.

Ultralight Helicopter for Sheer Fun Thrill and Excitement
By Low Jeremy
Each one of us dream of flying. But turning this dream into reality may be a little difficult and costly. This is, if we are still living several decades ago- when riding a helicopter costs too much or fly by a plane needs to have a purpose. Today, the story remains the same. Riding on a helicopter still costs too much and flying on a plane is still expensive. Well… not at all.
Actually, some of today’s aircraft can give you the best flight of your life. Not because you are served with the most delightful meal. Not because you are seating on a couch while flying. And definitely not because you are flying 28,000 feet above the ground. But because you experience the thrill, excitement and fun as you take the stick and fly at your own. Yes, you read it right. Fly on your own!
Development of helicopters plus the ambition of companies as well as individuals led to the invention of ultralight helicopter.
An ultralight helicopter is flying machine (it really flies by the way) that usually spans between 12 feet and 25 feet with small fuselage for 1 or 2 passengers. It varies depending on the weight. Usually, ultralight helicopters weight between 150-190 lbs., unmanned.
Ultralight helicopter comes in two forms: the ready to fly and the kit. Ready to fly of course is easy to understand. The kit may be a little too hard to swallow (at least for some).
The Mosquito is one of the more popular brands of ultralight helicopter. It looks like a miniature helicopter due to its size. But what makes it different from the rest is that it is only made to seat one person. Wondering where the novice would seat? This is where excitement would come. Anyone who wishes to learn on a one-seater ultralight helicopter must learn to fly on their own. It can fly with top speed of 90mph and as high as 12,000 feet.
Or if you simply don’t have enough guts yet to fly on your own, there are other ultralight helicopters where you can stay and remain as the passenger and let your flight or an expert do all the maneuvers.
You can enjoy the thrill of flying on an ultralight helicopter on some parks that offer ultralight helicopter tours. You can also purchase one for your personal use at the price similar to that of a family sedan.
