Not sure what type of ultralight that is, but the thermals around here in the summer can make them a real handful at much of an altitude - a few hundred feet is a good idea.
Were you under the controlled airspace? I don't see a radio or transponder.
It has a radio, and he was talking to ATC at the airports we flew in and out of (De-Witt-Spain, Fayette County, Charles Baker).
Somebody mentioned crosswinds. Yeah, you feel every gust of wind!
Made me a little nervous flying that low. Yeah, it has 2 engines. But I like being higher in case of an emergency.
BTW it is not an ultralight. It weighs 1060 lbs empty, with a gross of >1600 lbs. Holds 25 gallons of gas.
