Slow and low flight in Ultralight trike is always lots of fun. This REV trike is powered with Polini Thor 250 Dual Spark engine, counter balanced water cooled engine delivers 36.5 HP of smooth power and it is enough to push the trike with rate of 400 to 500 FPM.
this video just a good reminder to follow ridge rules and lesson on clearing your turn and generally being aware of your surroundings while flying a hang glider,soaring trike or anything that flys. whew it dont get closer than that
There were 20 trikes, 1 hang glider and 1 UL plane. In the afternoon visited us a little tornado. 4 trikes was damaged, but all was able fly home after repair.
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.
