Rizzy's Northwing HKS first SOLO test flight
This is my very first solo flight in my new Northwing Navajo HKS 700e trike, I would also like to call this flight a Celebration flight because yesterday I found out that for the 5th time in a row, I was the only Platinum banker in my Division, Region and District which is significant because it took me just two months to achieve that & we still have a month left in this quarter.

Sweet running machine Riz!
Thanks Ken, I love her, she is a keeper :)
Hi Rizzy, Looks great and the area you were flying in looks like a good place to fly as well.
Looking good!
And, congratulations on the platinum banker award. Does this mean you get to go on one of those fancy sales event trips? Either way, this should help fund more trike upgrades now : )
That is sweet Riz....wish I had the HKS too. Love my Skycycle otherwise.
Thank you YFT, Maarten & hobie17j,
YFT, my wife often says that she wants to move to Hawaii and I often tell her that La Grande valley is as beautiful as Hawaii during the summer...she hasn't bought it yet. LOL...it is nice during summer but our winters are long and it gets really windy here.
Maarten, Platinum banker means that you get the highest bonus, we are measured on certain metrics on our performance and I am performing at an average for all 5 (metrics) of them above 300 percent. 70% gets you the bonus...300% is though the roof and puts you in Star Performer Category. In a nutshell, it will open up many doors for moving up the ladder and enable me the trike upgrades :)
Hobie17j, You will get your HKS...I believe if you really want something, you will eventually have it. It's funny, coz I wanted a Skycycle and when my 6 year old son started asking that he wanted to fly with me, at that time I started thinking about a two seat 4 stroker :) I have seen many good 912s at Barnstormers between 22k to 25k. Last year or so there was a barely used Airborne 912 with two wings for 19k...& when I called the seller he had already had an offer. But I am very happy with what I have, I wanted a slow flying 4 stroke trike and fat tires...My "Osprey" has all of these features :)
You Osprey and you are working vrey nice Rizzy, congrat! What do you mean - it better the front place antenna? I had been placed on frotn capotage and my connectivity and readability become more better
Your Osprey sounds very smooth Riz! Congrats, very nice. I hope the platinum banker thing means you will be able to have the time to fly with us more often. See you soon-- you know the dates?
Thanks XC Triker, I have the same hope. Still don't know the dates, if my boss gets the job I told you about then I am the only one left to run the branch :( I would like to make you a promise, but I don't want to if I can't keep it.
What a great feeling to get a new trike! Many years of safe flying ahead! Nice video.
Hey rizzy got blown out this morning have,t had the chance to get her Flynn yet maybe tomorrow.I want perfect conditions for my first test flight.sure I's hard working and trying to get to go to fly INS.sure hope we can meet at er
Jozinko, this trike didn't come with an antenna so I had to get an antenna and install it.
Peter, thanks for your comment, I absolutely love this trike.
David, I will wait for your video :)
