De frêles et dangereuses machines en tubes et toiles avec une hélice actionnée par un bruyant moteur de tondeuse à gazon… Les clichés ont la dent dure et ceux qui collent au monde de l’ULM aussi. Et pourtant, cela fait plus de 30 ans que les ultralégers parcourent les cieux de Belgique ou d’ailleurs.
