XC Triker voted on the poll all my flying interest has been birdlike flight .so here is my question.with all the increases in...Comments- white eagle 7 hours ago
When i first started flying i trained in a sailplane.then i started working on my private.but even back then it was not what i truly wanted .in 1979 i started flying hang gliders.and watched the sport advance into ultralights .the technology seemed to move towards what have already fast planes! Still my heart beats to the sound of flapping wings and secretly inside i hear an eagles scream. With all are engine power and technology i still admire the biggest most efficent simplest leaders in aviation.( the birds)

I think the focus lately on the top end of performance (of which there is not much left to go (and why give up so much to get there?) ... get a 3-axis if you want faster, basically all of them are ;) has been somewhat at the expense of well rounded range of flight capabilities (slow to fast). I think that electric will contribute to a sense that the whole experience is more "natural," / birdlike with soaring capabilities.
I'd love a trike that could perform like a hawk ultimately, slow (nearly hover) and fast.Flapping-- that's another story-- human piloted ornithopters are a long way off and a completely different animal than trikes. I like trikes. They're simple.
If we can get more people into trikes, there can be a bigger market, and we can all get the flavors we want ;)
So, yeah, I'm a little sad to see a section of the market pushing fast, fast, faster. Ever get a taste of soaring ? ;)
