Does the Renegade or Renegade Spirit specifications match the ultralight criteria in European countries?
Depending on the exact weight criteria designated by each government regulatory agency, the Renegade model can be lightened to a weight of approximately 370 lb. by lightening material on leading edges, using lighter weight covering material etc.. Stall speed can also be reduced to approximately 30 mph by using larger extended wing tips. One might also note that even in some countries where the Renegade does not currently meet ultralight specs, it will meet home built specifications. It is also a general consensus that these ultralight rules are expected to be liberated considerably in the not too distant future.
