The one in the video is for sale. Not sure how much he is asking though. Only 39 hours on it. FMI. www.rotaryforum.com or www.pra.org

As an ultralight, no license but training is mandatory unless you prefer the alternative to living. Empty weight of 254 pounds or less to quality as an ultralight. Hard to achieve safely but doable if the pilot is not too heavy since to keep the machine light, you must use a small HP motor. You are also restricted on only 5 gallons of fuel.
The one in the video is an ultralight gyroplane.

just the aircraft empty weight. The manufacturer usually states an allowable gross weight, which is where the cheeseburgers come into play.
