thevalerieleigh Posted December 22, 2020 Report Share Posted December 22, 2020 Before moving to Mexico, my husband enjoyed flying ultralights but it was something that was just too large to try and ship down to Ajijic so he sold his two ultralights. He's now interested in returning to the sport. Does anyone know how to contact the Ultralight Park located on the road going towards Vista de Lago? With COVID, we don't want to drive out there for an in-person contact, but are hoping someone either knows a phone number, contact person and/or internet site where we can learn more about their enrollment options, fees, how to buy and get an ultralight in Mexico, etc. As always, thanks for your help. Happy Holidays, Val Jones 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artsnob Posted December 22, 2020 Report Share Posted December 22, 2020 Years ago two of my friends were killed when wind blew them into high voltage wires in San Juan Cosala, the winds are unpredictable lakeside, that is why we dont have too many here 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHILLIN Posted December 22, 2020 Report Share Posted December 22, 2020 Does your husband fit any of the XL sizes? If so I have an unused tropical weight full body wetsuit for sale. Will keep you warm down to 65f water. The Lake water typically runs 70 to 72f. If he flies over the Lake, and the airport is on the Lake, he should be very safe flying over the Lake, especially if he carries signal flares and VHF radio. Some of us seniors, get their visions of virility ahead of the facts. Hence my intention to sell my wetsuit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gringolokito Posted December 23, 2020 Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 There are several different types for sale near Santa Cruz. And the danger everyone talks about is due to the air currents around Mountains. But if he is experienced he should already be aware of that.

barrbower Posted December 23, 2020 Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 Knowing where Val's hubby used to live and fly his ultralight, I don't think he will have much trouble with wind or mountains... Alan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
