Bloop 2 Flying Slow

The Bloop 2 is a homebuilt ultralight biplane designed to fly slow, not fast. See for more information. This is a motorfloater, a simple airplane with a small engine, going slow with the pilot out in the open. The Bloop is a true ultralight in the United States, conforming to the FAR Part 103 rules. There are no ailerons, this is a two axis system, using just the rudder and elevator for flight control. For a ground brake I use the nose skid. The Bloop flies slow because of it’s low wing loading, which means it has a big wing and a light flying weight. Fair weather flying is the norm, strong wind are unpleasantly bumpy. The Bloop is a kind of a flying scooter, easy to fly and maintain, and able to take a beating. The pilot flies in the open air flying, in front of the propwash so no windshield is needed. Perhaps an ultralight airplane like the Bloop, designed to fly like a paramotor, would allow paramotor pilots to transition to an airplane with minimal instruction. It was
