I must say that your book is the main reason that I entered into the sport, took lessons and purchased a Quicksilver Sport kit. I have read your book (my bible) at least 3 times and still use it as a quick reference when I have a question about some aspect of ultralights. You cover some very important topics that no one else mentions-not even my instructors. I have recommend your book to others as a must read and am definitely looking forward to your next book. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge with the rest of us.

 I was at Oshkosh. . . and purchased your book. (It) it the most informative and instructive book about ultralights that I've ever read. It gave me answers to my questions that have been bothering me since I decided to pursue this hobby (i.e. to trailer or to hangar, instrumentation etc) I will recommend this reading to anyone I encounter who is interested in ultralights.

 Sincerely, Nat Bedolla

Every ultralight pilot or want-to-be pilot will save themselves a lot of time, effort, energy, and money by reading this book. Very easy writing style and this-is-how-it-is information. I recommend it to anyone interested in light-sport plane flying.

Tim Styles (Rans Dealer, Private Pilot, Tail-dragger, EAA- UFI, EAA Tech Counselor)

 The material is comprehensive, well-illustrated, and easy to read. . . The material is valuable for both newcomers to ultralight flying and veterans. (It) is certain to be a must-have addition to every ultralight pilot's library.

 I read a lot of aviations books. I, honestly, think this is the best book I have read. You both have done a tremendous job. I am half way through your book and I can't put it down.

 Wes Johnson  (Ultralight pilot )

 BRAVO! Please keep my visa on record and send me anything you two write in the future.  I can't wait for your second book.

      Jon R.   (Ultralight pilot )

 I really like your book.  It's kind of tough to understand (because I'm an 11 yr. old), and I took my electric dictionary with me to help me find the definition of words such as "exacerbated," or "stringent."  But, overall, I'm understanding the book really well.  Anyway, I really enjoy your book. 

Stevie Baxter (Future pilot)

 I just finished reading your book. I am a private pilot and your book help me a great deal with aerodynamic concepts. I think it is as valuable for general aviation as it is for ultralight pilots.

     Leo  (private pilot )

Greg (Student pilot) 

 I usually have a difficult time getting into a book, especially aviation text type books. I find A Professional Approach to Ultralights both easy to read, yet rich in content. . . I am learning a lot. (And appreciating the writing style.)

      Don Johnson  (Private pilot )

You should both be very proud of your outstanding work! I just finished reading (your book) a few days ago and learned a great deal. . . it will fill a great need for ultralight pilots. . . I learned some really important facts about the transition from standard aircraft to ultralights especially as it relates to the inertia and mass concepts.

      Doug Hagerman (Private pilot and aircraft builder)

Brian and Carol,

   I just finished your book and want to compliment both of you on making available, what I would consider, the best of all the books I have read on our sport.  My list of "things I don't know" has decreased substantially since being around you, and never would have been able to go from the trusty Hurricane to the Rans S-12 with out you. Best Wishes.

Bill Massey   (Private pilot and Ultralight pilot)

I just received the book. CONGRATULATIONS! This is just what I was needing! . . . it looks PERFECT. I really think it is going to help me a lot in this learning process.                 

    Leonardo Bangerter   

I read your book last weekend and it was just what I needed.  I have been taking ultralight training and I am definitely going change my approach. 

    George Atkins 

I think that anyone who is planning to purchase an ultralight should read this book. They will have half the problems they would normally  have. It is the best book on Ultralights that I have read.                                 

                   Ed Pitman      (Private pilot and Ultralight flight instructor)  

"This book helps you to understand the important issues. Having just completed the assembly of a Quicksilver Sport, I found this book very useful for the next phase of my project - flying and maintenance. Even though I have a little GA flight experience, I've found ultralights to be confusing at times due to their flight characteristics and 2 stroke engines. "
