Comment on "all my flying interest has been birdlike flight .so here is my question.with all the increases in performance in the triking world is there a point where we should just put a tail on it and attach the wing with ailerons .or should we keep the cost down and in the spirit of more the hang glider birdlike flight."
...ou can get away with, but it's not really that way. This was another favorite Poll of mine-- How do you enter a non-controlled pattern? I learned a lot on that one.Comment on "How many hours did you fly a Trike in 2012--- NOT a competition, just a poll. Student flying counts too!!"
160hrs for me, nearly all of it outside the pattern and XC.Comment on "Crazy Landing!! Kids, do not repeat this at home!! lol"
We have a guy just like that here at KBVU. I almost met him in the pattern when he entered turning left base from the vertical.Comment on "Turbulence From A Blackhawk Helicopter Flips A Small Plane"
Holly cow, that's a rough lesson. I have V-22 Osprey in my flight pattern and those are nasty too.Comment on "white eagles first engine out in soaring trike at elk river fly in"
Nice habit to do a box pattern climb over the field until sufficient altitude is gained. Good judgement on your part.
