It gains speed slowly and therefore fails to lift off the runway.

But:
- The sound does not correspond to a Rotax 582. It is a 2-stroke
- since it is a 2-stroke engine, the RPM does not match. This should be around 6400 RPM at full throttle. With this aircraft then in cruising at about 5500 RPM
- the oil temperature instrument does not exist in a 2-stroke engine
- Cylinder head temperature instrument is also incorrect
(water temperature would be better)
-Flight dynamics unfortunately not correct
Nevertheless, you can cruise a bit through the air with it.

great plane, but a lack of sound in the cockpit.

Very nice little ultralight, I enjoyed it from the moment I got into it on a grass strip and flew some low and slow circuits. Can anyone ell me what that strange little stick next to the throttle is, or what It's used for? Couldn't find a manual for this plane so can't look it up.
I hope the sound is the next thing to be developed, it doesn't appear to be loud enough for an utralight, and doesn't sound like a Rotax. It's OK I can pretend I'm wearing Bose noise cancelling headphones but I'd like to hear something that relates more to ultralight experience.
At the risk of treading on toes, I did find the flight model a bit too slippery, so I tweaked the cfg files and to me it now feels a bit more like a draggy ultralight.
In the flight_model.cfg I changed a few values as follows:
[FLIGHT_TUNING]
cruise_lift_scalar =1
parasite_drag_scalar =2.3
induced_drag_scalar =1.4
flap_induced_drag_scalar =1.5
elevator_effectiveness =1.2
elevator_maxangle_scalar =0.75
aileron_effectiveness =1.1
It now washes off speed once the throttle is closed much more readily. I changed the power_scalar in the engines.cfg to 1.0 which gives a 65kts cruise with the throttle retarded a bit from full power, which I think is about right.
I'd appreciate any feedback on the se mods if anyone would like to try them!

Hi
Very good tip. I thought the same as you when I put power off and the plane simply didn't lose any altitude.
As a tube and fabric ultralight, this is not realistic (without any offense to the author, who made a fantastic job with this ultralight).
I adopted your configurations and it got better but still not draggy enought for me, so I changed the parasite drag to 3.5 and the engine scalar (engine.cfg) to 1.5. I also lowered the aileron effectiveness to 0.7 and increased rudder effectivenees to 1.5. For me it's almost there.
The engine stops every 3 minutes in the air and I dodn't guess why...
Any ideas?

This aircraft looks really nice. Is it VR compatible?

A fantastic ultralight, great for sightseeing. 😊
I wonder, would it be possible to include a simple wings-level autopilot? Maybe with a click spot somewhere on the dash, or maybe the way user "Darshonaut" does it, via a hotkey.

Well that would be a bit silly in an ultralight like this I think

I love it!
Is there a way to read out fuel level sitting in the cockpit? (It is possible to read it out in extern view.)
RPM (extern view) does not match RPM (instrument panel).
What is the second operating lever (cockpit, left side) for?

What did you need to do to make this su9 compatible? The old version is still running fine for me.

I just re-compiled the model files, sometime ASOBO change animation names and don't tell us developers so its always good to keep and eye on things because they can get broken when they do SU's
