Alf Jessup commented on Mark Newell's Video.John, Mark Andrews and myself both had input into the making of this current windshield, it is a trial and error thing, I will be making a new one as the cut outs for the control bar allow too much wind through now that the new wing cruises at 70 ...

by John Olson 5 months agoMike was it a structural failure? Or an accidental??
I have filled my cannister with a load of dirty clothes and before I fly I loop the bridle around my neck in a slip knot. That way I figure, if I ever do hang out the laundry, my troubles'll be over for good. -
by Mike-in- Thailand 5 months agoI heard of one being deployed in France on a Tanarg which ignited the fuel tank when it was fired. I'm afraid this story didn't have a happy ending. -
by John Olson 5 months agoThe only in-flight deployment of a parachute recovery system aboard a trike that I know of was accidental. Boy could that ruin your day! Does anyone know of another? Oh, I know there's a long list of "saves" on the 'net but most of those are "loss of control" which I hope means "ran out of gas". But how about real structural failure kind of stuff?
By the way, the accidental failure was on an Airborne too! -
by Alf Jessup 5 months agoNo Probs Mate,
Let's just hope in the unlikely event of ever using it in anger the bloody thing works, I have complete faith in the installation and I agree the deployment handle is in a far better spot now than it was,
Cheers

by Frode Leikvoll 1 year agoHehe. it's a quote more people should think about. LIVING is really something we do when flying trikes;-) Cannot let life pass by without enjoying it as much as possible! -
by Frode Leikvoll 1 year agoHi Mark! How's the flyin' going? Do you fly all year in your area?
When I get home from work in mid april, I start the season fully. Cannot wait...:)
