                  WELCOME AVIATION ENTHUSIASTS

   This short informational post is for newcomers to the Usenet
newsgroup, REC.AVIATION.ULTRALIGHT. This newsgroup is for
discussions and questions related to ultralight and microlight
aircraft.  These are simple one-seat and sometimes two-seat
aircraft, flown mostly for recreation.  There are many types.
 
   Here is the wording of the actual charter......
 
* The rec.aviation.ultralight newsgroup is for discussion of all topics        *
* relating to the operation, construction and maintainance of ultralight   *
* and microlight aircraft, powered hang-gliders, powered parachutes,      *
* etc.  Discussion of fixed wing or non-fixed wing ultralight aircraft is     *
* encouraged as well as light aircraft that are not FAR 103 compliant.      *
 
  Before you post questions and begin to participate in the
discussions here, you should go to the newsgroup called,
REC.AVIATION.ANSWERS and look for the "Ultralight FAQ" which
is short for Ultralight _Frequently _Asked _Questions. Many of
your questions are already answered there.
 
  There are also many other helpful documents located in the
REC.AVIATION.ANSWERS newsgroup including "Netiquette on
Rec.Aviation by Geoff Peck".  You should read it too.
