Members Aircraft

One of the aspects that makes ultralighting so attractive and the fastest growing of any of the recreational aviation classes, is the wide range of ultralight aircraft options available.

Holbrook Ultralight Club and its members cut their teeth on grass roots ultralight aircraft in the early days before two seat certification and is proud to promote 95.10 and 95.25 types, as evidenced by the photograph below, despite having many fine examples of state-of-the-art aircraft within the membership of the Club.
