A pilot friend gives warm account after seeing Lazair on
You Tube:
If you go to the museum at the Lakeland airport, you will see a Lazair hanging from the ceiling. It used to belong to Jack Arnold, who lives locally here in Bristol. I have some in-flight shots of it from back in the 80's. I made a flying video called "Hummers in Autumn," designed and made a camera mount so that I could shoot in flight videos, and once I figured out how to keep the vibration out, it worked pretty well. I was supposed to have flown that one at Lakeland, but on the day I went to Abingdon, the wind came up, and I decided not to fly an airplane I wasn't familiar with in breezy conditions. Wish I had, the Lazair was the first ultralight I ever saw that had great control authority, and the first I ever saw do a loop, that was in Tullahoma.
