This is a first for me...

I am now seeing ADSB on ULTRA-LIGHT aircraft. (This may be an LSA - not sure)  

Looks like the SKY BEACON on the port wingtip!

Around here (the northeast USA) you pretty much need it to get anywhere.  This one was seen at the huge party we had on 19 Sep 2020 at the Golden Age Air Museum at Grimes Aerodrome...did not get a chance to meet the aircrew.

Not an ultralight, Mike. Not even an S-LSA. It's a two-place Experimental, probably amateur-built, with an N-number. Great fun to fly.

A buddy from our airport just had the SkyBeacon placed on his classic LUSCOMB...nice!

You see the SkyBeacon and TailBeacon everywhere...

It's not an ultralight if it has an N-number. Looks like a Rans S-12 Airaile, originally intended to be an ultralight trainer--a fat ultralight--that the FAA later forced into the Experimental category (or else illegal to fly).  Very nice airplane, easy to fly and with great visibility in that transparent bubble. I have about half an hour of dual time in one when it was "fat." I had to sign up for instruction to make the flight legal.
