Something simillar happened less than a block from my high school when I was in the 11th grade. In the middle of math class, some guy tried to crashland an ultralight on a nearby boulevard.

It... Didn't turn out well for the two persons onboard.

Lucky for him, but many don't have the same level of luck!

One of the first things you do in pre-flight checks is test the fuel tanks for water.

It used to be a much more serious problem but it still is something to be checked.

Since Golden Rivet is a professional in this area, I would like to hear his spin on this.

Especially preflight fuel quality check.
