Recreational Aircraft
Recreational Aircraft, also known as “Microlights”, “Ultralights”, and sometimes “Light Sport Aircraft” are aircraft which have either one or two seats and meet certain weight and performance characteristics, to put it in the simplest terms, they are light-weight and land at a relatively slow speed.
In modern times these come in all shapes and sizes, the usual “Cessna type” aircraft with a high-wing you have probably seen before, high speed low-wing aircraft, helicopters, gryrocopters, flex-wings (aircraft which sort of 
look like powered hang-gliders), powered parachutes, float planes, amphibians, there are even (very popular) replica “Warbirds” which are microlights such as the Mustang and Tiger Moth.
A flyable aircraft can be purchased for anything from $2000 to $150,000 depending on what sort of flying you want to do.
The club presently owns and operates two Rans S6 “Coyote” aircraft, these aircraft represent a good middle-of-the-road between those open-air slow machines, and the fast “complex” microlights.
