Alltrikes

Congratulations! Well done. 

Great job Dave.  Thanks for sharing. Makes us all do a double triple check.

You did a great job Dave.  Yes, it could have happened at a worse time in your flight.  Over the years I have had quite a few engine outs and almost all fuel related but all of them were in true ultralight trikes where total mass and sink rate is lower so usually a bit more time to search for a suitable LZ and landing speed is lower as well.  Hope I never have to deal with an out of fuel engine out in my Scout.  I do periodically practice engine off landings but none of them have been off field.  When I first got my current trike I did as Ken described, adding one gallon at a time with sharpie marks.  I highly recommend doing that for any one that has a translucent tank.  Dave this kind of experience helps to build confidence that you can handle a real engine out, but we should never get so confident that we become complacent with fuel level checks.

Wow...good job Dave. Just seeing this for the first time. Very fortunate you had some landing options. 

Hmmm, for some reason Im not able to see the video. Any Ideas what Im doing wrong? I can see the comments but the video is just blank.

I think the plugin requires Flash - typically not on most phones.

I finally got it to play. Thanks Tom. 

Beautiful video Tom! A lot of snow is there in summer time. 

Jozinko - you were missed by all.  hope the flying is going well … and didn’t I read somewhere that your getting a new wing?

Thanks Tom. I hope somewhere in future I will attend the NWTF-in again :) You are right, the new StingRay wing is here in Slovakia yet and its waiting for its time. I have an active student now and I want finish his training with the old wing because he knows it well. For the other side, we (my colleague from our trike flying school and me) bought used trike in a goood condition. We will use it as a training trike. Wing Quasar CZ15,4, trike Cross 5 Sport (the same type as mine is), R912 80HP.

Woah. A hirth. Wonder how that engine will work out. Should be interesting. 

I don't have any experience with them. 55 hp though!

Anyone get a launch video with it? I owned a hirth once different model though. 

Intesting and probably fitting name. Is NW going to be producing it as a new model? Looks like totally different frame than maverik trikes. 

Amazing castles. Looks like a comfortable trike. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks! Our country is beautiful with a rich history. The trike he made himself with R912 80HP and he uses TL Apollo wing.
