Ultralight airplane drops in for a visit


Ben Miron, a retired conservation officer with the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, dropped in for a visit last week. He was flying a Challenger ultralight airplane that he built from a kit.
The plane is powered by a modified snowmobile engine and is amphibious, having retractable wheels as well as floats.
Ben said the aircraft is fun to fly but requires calmer conditions than a standard floatplane.
It took him several hundred hours to build it.
