Is it legal to create ones own ultra-light aircraft ~ then fly it? With no training at all?

I've half a mind to build a flying boat based loosely on the BF Goodrich inflatable airplanes of the Viet Nam War.

People toss out plastic, fiberglass insulation, wire and the occassional lawn mower engine...and that's pretty much all there is too this type of airplane...and they could it's light enough to qualify as an ultralight...

But as a "anti-communist" I fear that my political veiws against the Ronald Reagan Right Wing Communist Revolution in the USA has resulted in my "loss" of civil rights without meaningful trial before a jury of my peers (given I was d ate r ape drugged into "family" and "divorce" ~ with my conserfative appointed RN ~ after doing my job as a law enforcement official who got shot trying to stop his fools from selling d ope in the USA).

I think it's was wrong to suspend heabius corpus, the right to refuse uncoerced testimony against a wife, etc. as well (gee I think I know where they went...so are my civil rights lost or merely misplaced?)

But what do I "know" ~ after all, I've been told my observations of a communist takeover are merely a conspiracy theory...

Bcause after all, doesn't the Government decide what the communism means, and isn't victory against the REDS a known, because Rush Limburger says so? After All, isn't a RED, someone who believes in Liberal attitudes, rather than a person that believes in assuming guilt and forcing the victim of such assumptions to prove his innocense, or refuses to let others, not in his party or "of his convictions", to participate in the economy by governmental control over EVERY means of PRODUCTION?

Isn't a political / legal theory that would certainly have kept the Wright Brothers GROUNDED, and Henry Ford whittling on his back pourch dreaming of lost business opportunities after the courts shut him down for "attacking vested interests in a totally untoward way","ALL AMERICAN ENOUGH"???

Well, no, not it's not enough American for me to say: a judge, on a totally unbusiness related manner can ruin a man economically, in civil court, if he cannot answer the question yes or no: "Did you stop beating your wife?"

But the Ronald Wilson Reagan Communist Revolution has left winged us by going so far to the Communist Right that we's all the way around to the extreem Left!

So, is it OK to be a Wright Brother today and build a flying airbag?

Or would that threaten the "feedoms" of the Communists that call themselves Conserfative Democrats and Republicans in that this "violates" their communist right to control every means of production?

Cause, I really wouldn't want to be stepping on the toes of such "great Americans".

Who else but they could have gotten us in debt over 10 trillion dollars federal deficit, and over a trillion dollars in foreign trade deficit (something they call and account as "healthy business dealings" or a big part of "our" GDP).

How could we live, without THEM?

And I've no right to a jury trial before confiscation of well over what would certainly be now over a Million Dollars in property...so I'm stuck with an "order" mocking respect for children, that denies me all civil rights to any form of commerce, or License, such as pilot's license or perhaps even a right of Registration ~ if the local Commisar of Reagan's "family court" determines this is "inherantly a form of License"...without appeal or any sort of hope of report in any "form of PRESS media"...because family court "LAW" trumps all right to freedom of the Press as well as well.

So, I restate, because some of the Communists mocking Liberty here on Yahoo might not get it that this above seeming rant is merely a clarification of the problem implying I want Case Law. If availible I'd like more data than the fact that my business', home, family, property, career and etc. were summarily confiscated in "civil court" in a sealed "hearing" where nobody can know by Law what was said, outside of "no fault being found" and a simple divorce was issued on irreconsilable differences grounds, to a man not yet divorced from his first wife, by a later wife, found to be a wife by "common law".

I understand so much of the Communist Agenda has been determined to be a family court secret by current law (rather than to upset the "kiddies" that the government has gone RED they upset the civil right of the Nation to know there has been a fundamental shift in LAW towards a communist court's presumption of guilt before proof of innocense). But, it would be nice to have warnings of any indication that additional travesties might be forthcoming should I try to fly, associated with the 28 year old Ronald Wilson Reagan Right Wing Dictatorial Communist Revolution, because I tried to stop them from de@ling d ope, to finance the revolution and bribe (I suspect) d ope addict voters into voting essentially communist.

I mean, they must have "taken out" others who threaten their revolution...who later tried to fly a rubber plane...so what happens next

Update:

Do they sho ot down old bags of wind too; if we fly try to fly one past them?

Update 2:

Cool, and Trevor h, by the rules posted by the FFA as referenced by cherokee ... one seems not to need such a certificate of airworthiness. I guess, by my read.

    aside the political rant, to answer your question, you do have the freedon to kill your self. That is most likely to happen if you insist on flying with out any instruction.

    Ultra lights are not required to be registered nor is the operator required to have a pilots certificate.

    There are a few rules you have to abide by, but other than that, have at it.

    Regulations regarding Ultralight can be found at:

    You need a certificate of airworthiness before you fly any manned flying machine.

    technically, i think you need clearance from the faa for any manned aircraft, HOWEVER, if you have your own runway, and you stay under the radar, nobody will really be able to say anything, you probably won't be caught...
