Get the second edition,
"Living Dangerously" FREE!

That's two full volumes of action for less than FIVE BUCKS!

From a satisfied customer:

I took your advice and downloaded the book from TPS. I enjoyed the whole book, but being a triker (as yet have never hang glided, hope that is the correct term), I especially enjoyed " Travels With Trikezilla or, Most Folks Got Better Sense". My wife, who at this point in my flying career has had all the trike stuff she can stand, was also pleasantly surprised to find herself also enjoying that story. Ole -- thank you for that!

    Also, conditions are a mix of pilot experience and machine's handling. No new pilot is going to fly in windy gusty conditions on "anything". It takes experience to learn to relax and anticipate the almost imperceptible little corrective inputs ...

    Stall speeds should always be given at gross just like all standard aircraft do. All specs should be given at gross and if not should be noted with a note

    Hi Skybird, Download this video. This is with a Profi Classic on a Delta Jet 912S. A wing that is about a 8 year old design. A trike that is a 5.5 year old design. So its the best performing wing we offer. In fact we don't even offer that wing ...

    Oh ok. 607 feet just like QuikGT450 which is 660 feet to clear 50 foot obstacle except its 2 sq. meters smaller than Bionix and just like out Reflex 13 (13.5 sq. meters) as well. Pretty inline with all the rest of modern 912S trikes.

    Hi Abid, First off let me say I think the Revo is an exceptional machine. I actually like the looks more than the Tarnag. And I am sure the quality of materials and workmanship are second to none. And I am certainly not saying one machine is better ...

    Hey Larry it looks like Air creation, or whoever owns that Tanarg on the front page of trike pilot today liked your lighting configuration idea with the Revo!!

    Abid Farooqui commented on Skybird Triker's Video.
    That's all good but its all one-up not at gross where the specs for all aircraft are listed for. With gross weight (2-up) the distance to clear 50 foot obstacle should go from 500 feet to around 850 feet which is about right for most two seat modern ...

    Is there any other trike wing on the market that can do this??? Distance to clear a 50' obstacle say 500'. Probably more like 300'. The landing roll was what....100ft???? More like 75ft would be my guess Darling, throw away the rest of those ...
