Reminds me of a single seat trike me and brother bought back in the 80s ,it was damaged in a crash and a pretty straight forward rebuild and all associated paperwork with CAA in England and remember all the excitement and anticipation of just the ground test with no wing and then bought a great hand giding wing and married up to trike perfectly and then some lessons and Flying round my local area in a rebuilt machine made me so proud . Unless you have done it with no Aviation experience but just a will to fly is fantastic..... wish I still few but has become cost prohibitive.

Great little trike and nice flight . Keep the videos coming . You do an awesome job !

So it can be done then... You've answered a long standing question for me as I know they can provide enough thrust, well proven in the foot launched units ...but thought they would struggle in a nonolight..good work...

I have a nano trike that was flying with a fresh breeze solo 210 18HP engine from PPG. I mounted my Moster 185 which is approx 27hp.

Can someone please explain this? What are the wings made of? I mean they look like they are made of the same cloth used in umbrella canopy material. You know what happens during a thunderstorm, the umbrealla collapses. So these guys taking this up to 10000 feet etc, how they hell don't they collapse like a umbrellas collapsing in high wind? I mean even the professionally manufactured ones look very flimsy. Please explain this to me, these things are fascinating, its like we found a loop hole to fly like birds (for some reason the commercial aircraft doesn't have the same effect, as a layman) Why aren't many people using this to go to work and come home?

Hi Brian, Thank you for the video. I would like to build a trike. Would 2" square aluminum tube 1/8" wall 6061 be a good choice on the main frame and mast? Thank you John
@skycowboyak45492 жыл бұрын
Hi John, That's what I use for my mast, but I also sleeve the inside of it with two round aluminum tubes nested together, each roughly 1/16th thick, for extra strength. Here's a recent video of me flying my trike: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nNp3jZiY0JzRhZs.html

Yep, I hear you. I'm reminded that every aircraft has a mission. This one is designed solely as a soaring trike...just enough Hp to get you up in the thermals. That wing though, is a nice flier (clean and double-surfaced).

@@Rick_Cavallaro hey Rick, you’ll be fine. The control system is almost identical except in Trikes you’re in a sitting position. Crossover skills are nearly seamless. But it would be good to get 5 to 6 hours of dual instruction before your solo. Just because you’ll learn a few specifics to Trikes that are different from non-powered hang gliding. Anyway, as we get older, it sure is nice to be on wheels instead of foot launch, even though I still enjoy the foot lunch part. All the best my man, John.
