No pilot has a greater need for an in-depth understanding of local weather conditions than that of an ultralight; and no book I've seen gives this to you in such a practical and easy to understand way. I personally have over 2000 hours in various ultralights and have still learned something new from every page. I wish I had this book 15 years ago. For now, its something no light plane flyer should be without. At this low price there is no reason for anyone to be.
