  Doug, I really like the comments/points your bring up.  Yes, it is true that many of the former BFI folks were really only BFI in name only and only a fraction really had a training business, but many of the trikes they used (perhaps many now...

  Thanks XC... Only heard it referred to as a 'halo'. Today's learning :-)

  Way to go Acetrike! Your post came in while I was typing mine. You read my mind and answered it.

  For discussion??  How do we get to a lower cost trike (LSA) that could be a teaching work horse for the ultralight crowd? Are there any recent/new instructors that are not flying a 80-100mph monster?  The only instructors I hear...

  Regarding the options in the 103 category, there is a new player in that field... us! We will be officially announcing and marketing our product in a couple weeks, but I can assure you all, it is an aircraft for the regular folks out there and...

  Regarding the 3200 instructors, that number is bogus. Most of them were guys just wanting to take the wife around the patch. It really sucks that good instructors like Ole and others got screwed by Sport Pilot but when I was trying to find a...

  Well XC this article touches one of my sensitive buttons.  Completely agree with FlyDivers comments.  In recent years, I have not observed any EAA activity that effectively promotes the UL category.  Frankly, I am not convinced that...

  About the EAA. I have submitted several good stories for publication in EAA's magazine "Sport Aviation" They centered around a weight shift trike, which I fly. Both stories I submitted were rejected. Looking back on stories they did...

  As I understand it you have the legend turned around a bit. The version I heard is that Mexcaltitán is in the pestilential swamp that the Mexica departed in search of their promised land. They supposedly wandered for forty (40) years in search of...

  3200-> 50 Instructors.  SHOCKING!!!  ... and the FAA/EAA know this stat AND what caused it. Smaller lgihter trikes are actually "funner" to fly and I proved it to myself again flying with @KLP and  Doug From Boulder...

  XC Triker commented on a page titled White House budget again contains user fee despite opposition 7 hours ago

  That's what I was wondering.  $100 per commercial flight of 300 people will work out to 30 cents a piece.  $100 per flight around the pattern for me will work out to Adios flying (at least at any towered airport--  or will the NSA...

  XC, I thought you'd never ask. Rusty just turned 21 is why. Now she can vote.

  Awesome Ole.  What an adventure!!!  Janet & I would've loved to land there-- by air seems the only sensible route to go--  and it makes sense given that's where an eagle landed to eat lunch undisturbed.  Hey, why do...

  Is there no indication here of exactly who/what pilots and operations this will affect? Or have I missed that? I mean, it says that the proposal is to generate funds for air traffic control. So does that mean only flights into class A, B, C and D...

  My joke of the day... I showed my wife the picture of the beautiful 100,000 dollar trike that's for sale. " Look at this sweet trike? Man I would love that toy!" Her response was... "For 100K, can't you get something with doors???" She kills me,...

  I've thought of this, trouble is access to both instruction and new aircraft. Had a conversation over on the other site(the dark side) about the lack of entry level trikes. The argument thrown at me was there was no money in it for the...

  We just flew up here the other day and it turns out there is plenty of room to land the Voter on the road at either approach to Mexcaltitan, and we have ingratiate ourselves to a couple of the boatmen here by hauling them up on a flight at our...
