The Ultralight Conversion Plan
This aircraft is an ideal candidate for conversion to a legal Part 103 ultralight. To achieve "ultra light and legal to fly" status, the following planned modifications are being presented as the next steps for the owner:

• Fuel System: Reducing the permanent gas tank to a 5-gallon capacity for Part 103 compliance.
• Auxiliary Range: Inclusion of a removable auxiliary 5 or 10-gallon tank for extended range when weight limits allow.
Current Equipment & Specifications:
• Engine: Rotax 503 DCDI pusher configuration.
• Avionics: EIS (Engine Information System) digital flight/engine information panel.
• Safety: BRS Emergency Chute (Note: inspection is currently expired).
• Battery: New lithium battery.
• Tires & Skis: New main gear tires and included snow skis with removable wheels.
• Comfort: Includes extra seat back cushions and back seat wind screens.
• Propeller: Wooden prop.
Included with Sale:
• Aircraft manual.
• Extra touch-up paint and matching fabric.
Currently flying and available for inspection. This is a unique opportunity to own a low-hour Challenger 2 that is already prepped for a simple transition into the ultralight category.
