Weedhopper is like any other conventional microlight. As I see, the only drawback may be the powerplant-it is a single carb 503 and may not have enough juice in hot summers of India. Second, as the airframe is bare poles, the drag would be more than a fully fabric covered design-again demanding more engine power. The landing gear also would need a careful examination as I do not see any shock absorbers and the wing struts are supported by the wheel axle.It is cheap-really cheap as compared to its many other variants, including the ones made in India. Any idea how much will the customs charge for import of such a plane?

Nadeem,
Where are you looking to import this Weedhopper from ?
I have flown a variant of the Weedhopper and am curious about where
you are buying from country wise.
