This was a flying trip that we did with three Trikes. We flew 1824.4nm and it took 37 hours to complete. The three pilots and one crew member had a fantastic time and we saw parts of Australia that could only be seen by fly a Trike.
The upper side of the spring does not rest on a nylon sleeve but directly on the carb cable support member and this also showed significant wear. This is really not visible without removing the spring for inspection.
