  1. Neither, the one on the right goes first
  2. The powered ultralight ✔
  3. The unpowered ultralight

Why: Part 103 says powered ultralights shall yield the right-of-way to unpowered ultralights. An unpowered hang glider or glider has less ability to maneuver out of the way.

Huh, didn't know that: Both of them must still yield to every other kind of aircraft.

The dad joke
What did the engine say to the hang glider? 'Go ahead, I'll wait. I'm not in a hurry.'
