History
Founded by Jaroslav Sedláček in 1990, UL-Jih was conceived as a design, manufacturing, flight training and repair facility, using both composite materials and traditional aircraft construction techniques. Initial business involved the repair of hang gliders and ultralight aircraft.
The first aircraft designed was the simple and inexpensive UL-Jih Kolibřík, designed with Josef Mareš, which sold 36 aircraft. This was followed by the UL-Jih Lišák and production of 41 of the Sunwheel biplanes designed by Wolfgang Dallach. Sedláček's UL-Jih Fascination, a family of two seat, low wing microlights, first flew in 1996 and has been under constant development ever since. The UL-Jih Evolution high-wing microlight first flew in 2002.
The company also offers flight training at its school at the Velešín airport.
