Lake Havasu airport, Chemehuevi Valley airport, El Mirage dry lake, and Flying J Ranch
I was hoping to go x-c. Perhap I need to bring fuel bladder, or upgrade to 15 gals.
Why do you need a 40 gallon tank? I don't know what your fuel burn is but if it is like 3 gallons an hour, that will roughly give you 13 hours of flying time...Do you ever see a need to fly 13 hours straight? Second thing is that with a full tank it might be very hard to take a friend on that trike.
Hi Jozinski and everyone. I need an opinion about gas tank. My Antares trike has 9.5 gallon gas tank. The Antares company has a nice new gas tank which is 40 gallons. Wow. It costs about $3k to 4k. Will that 40 gal be perfect for my trike with 503 engine? 40 gallons x 6 lbs each equal 240 lbs.
I'm looking for a certified BRS repack? Who can do that? Mine is BRS-5 900 model, year is 2004-05. Trike has 130 hours on it.
HI XC Triker. I miss flying and everyone too. Pat asked me to attend service at the Flying J yesterday. I couldn't attend since one of my 3 dogs had a head trauma injury. I had to keep my eyes on her. Brian, one of the locals passed away with heart attack.
Just wanted to check about the tundra tires size 8x600. Will that fit in the fork where the 4" tire is now?
I was told that front wheel yoke needed to be modified but it wasn't needed. Too late. I no longer have the pictures. The front yoke degree was straight instead of 18 degree. Better call XC and he can explain to you better.
SallI to fly an Antares trike
I don't under stand what the mod is that you did to the front wheel can you explain or maybe have a pic of the mod thanks jamie
Got the alltrikes calendar, loved it. Mine is April month. I was surprised.
Many thanks to Ken and XC Triker.
Hi Sally, I was happy to finally meet you and your sister and friend at the Crusty Sea! I've post a couple of my photos from there. Hope you enjoy. Doug from Boulder Creek
Photos of Lake Havasu trip? Where? I'm missing the event and the pilots.

Hey Sally, which Flying J airport? There are 7 or 8 of them. The one in Florida the Florida panhandle?
Hello, I was at the Flying J ranch today to put my wing in the trailer. Got a 20-minutes ride with Pat. It sure felt good to be in the air. My trike is still being worked on.
