Ultralight Paintball Idea
-
here is an Idea my brother came up with…
Get an 2 seat Ultralight and arm it with a paintball gun in the “observer” seat… then get another and do likewise…don’t call it crazy you spend alot on wargames :wink: this would be awsome for air support especially if you have radio for accuracy
Ideas…
-
sounds like fun, have you tried it?
-
nope :wink: ….
-
don’t have the money :roll:
-
but man think about it…
-
nobody likes it?
-
don’t know what an “ultralight” is… :wink:
-
neither do i, but it sounds cool
-
An Ultralight is: Generaly a single engine aircraft that does not require a pilot liscense to operate… usually costs 2,000 to 10,000 dollars… the “type” I’m referring to is a trike which is a complete “winged” aircraft which means the wing is moved singly by a control bar… can be either 1 or 2 man aircraft… now do you get what I mean :wink: :wink: :wink: …

gees I forgot to log in again…tha was me :wink: …

You may not need a license to fly one, but an Ultralight is a hell of a lot harder to fly than a real plane. I’ve seen people do so, and even the lightest wind screws you up. This is coming from a student pilot.
-
the pilot isn’t firing the “observer” is… and I you are going to be flying usually below 300 ft. …
-
I’m not doubting your expertise… but I think I’ve got enough science under my belt to undestand wind forces…
-
The lower you fly the lower the wind turbulence right?
-
Correct. However, theres not much room for error in an ultralight. Keep in mind, you fall very fast when they close to the ground. And its small enough that a 20 mph wind is going to give you troubles. A gust could send ya down.
I’d personally never fly one. I prefer my nice safe glider…
-
so helo’s are the way to go? :wink:
-
if you could get one, you might try an “Auto-Gyro”. for those of you who dont know what one is, watch the Bond movie “You Only Live Twice” and look for Little Nelly. she’s easy to spot. its basically a mini helocopter with an overhead blade for lift and a smaller rear facing blade for propulsion. it’d could be used to hover or something. and would probably be eaiser to control.
-
But is it two man?
-
this is about shooting out of something… you need two men…
-
I love paintball :)
I’ve got a spider compact special edition myself, which I use to crush the pathetic fools with their walmart brand guns and their wal-mart brand strategies :)
