This one is a 4 cylinder boxer engine. Weighs a lot less than Rotax 80hp and costs about half. They also have a water cooled 80hp Hirth with inline 3 cylinders.
The airstrip came into sight. There are no roads to Dirty Devil Airstrip, it is only accessible from the air. Paul was ahead and we made a low level pass to check for any debris or obstacles on the strip.
I found “Royal Arch”, 175ft high with a span of 80 ft, ample clearance for a trike. On the other side of the ridge was a mini Monument Valley. It was too windy to explore today, but I plan to return and check it out in the future.
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. Also check...
Going places in a trike is Cool !! I think Ken has the bug now. I was only able to check 3 more airports off my list, but they were cool ones, especially Big Bear-- had been wanting to do that and needed good conditions-- and FlaBob, home of EAA Chapter #1 very cool.
