Part 103 eligibility
National Ultralight / challenger.ca article on the Challenger 103 (US Part 103 context) states the model was designed to meet both the spirit and the letter of FAR Part 103, comes in under the strict 254 pound weight limit even with oversize main wheels and brakes, and is powered by the Hirth F-33; notes US operation with no licence/registration under Part 103. Factory site (challengeraircraft.com) confirms Quad City Aircraft Corp. as current Challenger home but does not publish a Challenger 103 numeric table on the live lander retrieved at research time. Actual eligibility depends on the finished aircraft meeting 14 CFR Part 103 limits (not independently verified here). Keep strictly separate from Challenger II / Special / Light Sport and from Infinity Power Parachutes Challenger PPC.
