- The Toucans were taught how to fly in Lightning Ridge by Chris Brandon. As the Ridge is around 700km west of the Hunter Valley, it was easier for Chris to become a temporary resident. A large bus was parked at the aerodrome and this became our flight school. We became THE RIDGE TRIKE SQUAD!
- Toucans can't fly. Whilst on a cross country trip to Lightning Ridge in outback NSW, we had a forced landing. Suspected bird strike to the propellor. All went well though. No damage to trike or pilot and passenger. Yes, a video is being made. Watch this space!

- Very cool video demonstrating the power of ridge lift
- Now this looks to be a very simple system. The pilot is still working on the development. Probably not a huge amount of thrust or extended time at high power but maybe a nice way to get up to supplement some natural ridge lift or thermal lift. Pretty cool.
