I think your tongue in cheek comment could have been understood at least two different ways.

1. What a useless engine as any ultralight would be way overpowered.

or

2. Great engine but perhaps a bit over the top for an ultralight.

Perhaps it's just me but I wasn't sure which one you meant.

The guy in the video explains that the engine is used on auto gyros and even helicopters in addition to obvious applications such as home built/experimental airplanes.

I think its primary intended application is probably not your run off the mill ultralight/LSA.
