More on Review of Belite Ultralight Aircraft in Kitplanes Magazine

Now I'm recovering from my camping trip last week to the GSMNP. I flew out in my delightful Flight Design CTLS light sport airplane.... not a Belite, it's the next best thing if you have to have 2 seats. :-)

There was some comment chatter on this blog about the Kitplanes review...

If you are looking for the excellent review of our airplane in Kitplanes magazine, you can read it here:

Hazel Creek / Wilderness Rest

I took a few days off. Just returned to civilization from wilderness camping in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. I was camping a few miles up Hazel Creek trail, which is accessed via a boat ride from the Fontana Dam Marina.

Two quick pics are below.

Extraordinary beauty in God's creation. The top pic is Hazel Creek, in the wilderness of GSMNP. The bottom pic is my campground area, through the forest. My tent is visible in the photo. -- James
