The Belite is a true single seat airplane. It
meets FAR Part 103 criteria and does not require an Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) pilot's license or aircraft
registration, but its advanced aerodynamic design and
technology provide the handling and utility of a heavier
aircraft. It is available in both kit and completed
versions.
