Apparently there used to be an ultra light flying club in UAQ but I am not able to find contact information that actually works.( did try the website contact numbers and e-mail) Can anybody tell me if there is still some UL activity in the UAE and provide me with contact info?
Thanks in advance

Hi BD,
I went for a flight in a Trike style UL out of Nad Al Sheba a few weeks ago. This was being done by the Micro Aviation Club (http://www.microaviation.ae/)
Apparently, they are setting up a school at Um Al Quain and should be operating now.
Jazzera Flying Club fly off a field in Ras al Kama and fly powered parachutes and four axis Ultra Lights.
Hopr that helps!

"four axis Ultra Lights."
It has been many decades since I taught or even studied basic principals of flight. I always thought and taught that there were only 3 axis. Lateral, longitudinal and vertical.
Has modern aviation come up with a 4th?
