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!
Just checked mine and all is good. (2007 Airborne XT-912 Tourer). (12/1/2013)
Well it's doesn't...to do next - buy a new one? And then replace it in 5 more years?
My trike has been used for train...
3 of my ex-students bought a "new" Joker Trike 912/ Aeros Profi TL wing together. Its flying a little different than my trike - their "school" trike. Then we did retraining. Joker has a foot throttle (my trike has the hand throttle), Joker has a lower seat than my trike and its faster.
Today was quite bad visibility and we decided fly navigation. Henrich prepared it well and we flew according the plan. We were visited friends at another airfield. We flew at quite low ALT - 1170ft and we flew over clouds.
