This is real international photo. You can to see: pilot XC Triker from USA, copilot Jozinko from Slovakia. We were flying in Australian trike on Australian sky. It can connect the Alltrikes web site only.
First, note the gas tank / seat. We were considering using these to extend our range at times. Two of these in a trike in place of the seats, would be 2x 10 gallons. Or, 375 more miles of range !!! (If your butt and bladder could handle that!)
Got up early yesterday for some flying.
We just did a little shake down flight, mostly to make sure my trike survived the 1000 mile trip up here and was ready to go. Als...
It had rained hard last night and my trike was soaked. I learned my lesson and will put a cover over it next time. The rain messed up my radio, and Paul’s wasn’t working either. We took off with me in the lead and Paul right behind me.
Found this on a post flight inspection after sending off the Trike Globetrotters. Apparently the 1/8" aluminum had enough vibration where mounted that it fatigued the metal and it cracked straight through. Always to a post flight, You never know what you might find.
