San Jose dos Campos Fixed Wing

Disney land aeroplane
Aero Expo is more of a fixed wing than helicopter show but I learnt some interesting things - do you know what fixed wing pilots call helicopters? Rototards...

Registration in Brazil is PP - suitable for this one?
PT - presumably for the more agile aircraft and PR for those who sell the country's image well...

For ultralights the registration is PU - and I was told there are 3,000 ultralights in the country - taking then the Brazilian effect - halve everything you are told and divide by four - that is 300 or so...
This looks like a cross between and Piper Cub and a Cessna 150 on floats but it is actually a factory built ultralight belonging to the guy who helped build it in the factory - at least that is what I understood, although since I speak no Portuguese and only some limited Spanish it may have got confused in translation. Looked fun though and apparently there are lots of places to land a sea (river he insisted) plane in Brazil.
