Hi Ya'll:
Here is a the photo on the back cover of the May 1992 EAA Experimenter
Magazine, Richard Swiderski's highly modified Ultrastar. I joking
have referred to it as the Ultra-Stork, to Richard, of course. He did
not hit me, so I assume he also took my remarks as a joke.

First time I saw this airplane was from the air, low level, north of
the Florida Flying Gators Airpark. Tailed ole Richard and the
Ultrastar (still looked stock) for about 15 or 20 minutes before I let
him see me. Could have shot him down many times with minigun, or
might have gotten lucky and hit him with a pair of 2.75" FFAR rockets.
BTW: The date was aprx'ly 14 November 1987. I was flying my original
Firestar, Rotax 447, point ign. Stopped off for the weekend at
Florida Flying Gators Airpark for their annual flyin, on the way to
Miami, FL, and return to Gantt IAP, Alabama. About 1,500 sm, the
longest flight I had done to that date in an ultralight. The first
overnight, self-supported ultralight flight was conducted two weeks
prior in the same aircraft to the North Florida Airshow, Lake City,
Florida.
Take care,
