The MX has always been great for those just getting started in ultralights. It's quality is legendary and it is easy to both build and fly - the second reasons why I chose it. The first reason was love at first sight.

What I didn't know at the time was that in the "fun" department the MX is as advanced as it gets. It is truly the quintessential ultralight.

Building the kit was not very hard. Anyone handy with tools can do it, although it helps to have a source to answer occasional questions. I did.

The coolest part is that, when you're finished, it can take you up to parties above the clouds.
