Thx guys. Best situation is in to the wind.

Good advice Ken Thanks

Hey Ken!!!HAHAHAHAH. While I was reading it, I was thinking that you and I both had to go P and as I read further, that’s exactly what you said. So funny and... read more...

Larry that statement about only a rotor having the ability to flip over the trike is actually good to know from a standpoint of confidence. I’ve gotten pucker... read more...

Almost anytime you can get above the lower cloud layer or sometimes there is a haze layer, you can expect smooth air above. If there are mountains, then that is... read more...

Flying anytime you are pushing your own personal envelope is a recipe for trouble. Some new pilots should not fly past 8:30 in the morning. Some advanced pilots... read more...

Thanks for the comments. As I was reading I could feel my instructor tapping my shoulders, telling me to relax my arms and grip. I also realized that by the tim... read more...

I watched your video Steve, and yes the air was definitely rough. One thing that Larry critiqued me on was had position on the control bar. If you widen out yo... read more...

But I guess a new pilot as myself would get so nervous in midday turbulence tensing would be the natural reaction. I thought flying midday for trikes is not th... read more...

Indeed you had a death grip. Tensing up on the controls is one of just a couple things a trike pilot can do which can lead to loss of control. Contorting your b... read more...

Besides the obvious, which is using more runway to get stopped, tail winds will tend to drop the aircraft towards the ground with every gust. When you are in a ... read more...

I’ve done that too but the winds were no more than 4mphI was told by another flyer that said often he lands up or down wind if it’s anything less that 8 mph... read more...

It was the worst I had flown in. I had been in some turbulence with CFI but not as rough and definitely not as long. I posted a short clip of the flight. I was ... read more...

Was that your first experience in that much turbulence? Did you fly in similar or worse conditions with your instructor before solo?

Glad you posted this. I am a new pilot (50 hrs or so). Recently did my longest cross country, about a 2 hour flight. About half way through we hit what was heav... read more...

Thanks Larry, but I managed to get it posted.

Give me a call and I’ll get on my computer and try to walk you through it. 813-810-9262

Hi Roger. That’s a great read, thank you. Just mostly not relevant in Australia ;-) Maybe I could do an oz version (translation) if anyone is interested. I... read more...

Yes we have used Plexus for years and I think Koenig blows it away.

Have you tried plexus? I've used it in the windshield and visor and found it pretty good.

Yesterday i tried another test on the Flycom shield using Ceramic Coating. It really gives a great shine but for the true scratches it had no effect. I also t... read more...

Thanks Paul, i am going to refer people to Trikeaction when i get future questions. It might be nice for someone to start a list of CFI's across the States and ... read more...

Roger,Yes you can fly easily with a Revo. I typically trim to 60 indicated to get my best climb rate. The Revo with a 12.4 meter wing flies very comfortably wit... read more...
