Alltrikes

sad news, high time fixed wing pilot killed crashing a revo. sure sounds like a 'departure stall' event. apparently, according to witnesses the trike took-off, went 'straight up, then 'straight down' from the pics it wasn't under control, it 'fell'. this has been the sad fate of many pilots since flying began. i've personally witnessed several 'steep take-off', stall, crashes . two fatal, one lucky. the steep deck angle of a climbing trike can be 'un-nerving' to a fixed wing pilot, transitioning to wsc, resulting in, unfortunate power reduction, stall, and if you don't have altitude crash. it can happen to any flying machine provoked into exceedind that 'critical Angle of Attack' power reduction, stall, insufficient recovery altitude. apparently, he trained in a totally different trike genre with little or no transition into a high-performance trike. sad to those that loved him, and to us that love trikes. RIP.
