Ultralite Soaring was founded by Bruce Gray, who began his activities in ultralight aviation by building undercarriages for Quicksilver hang gliders. In 1983, this company offers a full range of machines which share the name Wizard and all are of similar configuration and technology. This variation on a theme allows the aircraft to be modified to suit the requirements of the owner. The range begins with the basic model, the weight shift Wizard W4 (often known as Wizard I), and encompasses next the hybrid control Wizard J 2, then the three axis Wizard J 3, fourthly the Sky Tractor agricultural aircraft and finally the Wizard T 38 two seater, all the others being solo machines. All machines of types W 1, J 2 and J 3 can be fitted with a variety of engines, principally Yamaha, Rotax or Kawasaki, though there are also some Zenoah and Lloyd engined aircraft around. Ultralite Soaring tends to give the aircraft title a suffix to indicate the engine used, so that for example a Wizard W 1 with Yamaha engine becomes a W 1Y, while a Kawasaki engined J 3 is dubbed Wizard J 3K. The standard engine mounts suit various power packs and engine changes can be made in under 5 min, using complete assemblies as sold by the company, which include propeller, reduction drive, fuel tank and (where applicable) electric start and battery.
