 The ULBI Wild Thing is a German ultralight aircraft, designed by R. Kurtz and produced by Ultraleicht Bau International (ULBI), of Hassfurt. The aircraft was supplied as a kit for amateur construction or as a complete ready-to-fly-aircraft.
 Since 1997 the Wild Things have been built in WT 01 and WT 02 versions at the Aerodrome Hafurt (EDQT). Construction is of aluminum and the Wild Thing is suitable for training, towing, as well as for the relaxing.
The Wild Thing wings are foldable, and an engine option is a Hirth F 20.
