Condition Inspection
I have a condition inspection coming soon. Having a terrible time as no one here knows what a trike is. I have reached out to too several companies who want nothing to do with it. My aircraft is an EAB and i am not the original builder. I would love to have that option but the 16 hour course does not allow it for EAB. Am i missing something when i explain what it is and what i need? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hey everyone, we now have a full time A&P to do your annuals! Come down and do a little advanced training while you are here. We are even getting a Ryker for our guests to scoot around on while they are here. Not to mention our cool little on site apartment.
This has been a huge request from our customers. And we have the solution now.
On the other hand if you just tell the A&P you will help and show him everything and how it works, many A&Ps will be glad to expand their services to trike. They can be intimidated, and it’s your job to show them how simple the trike really is. We have check list available in our REVO manuals that should work with little modification for most trikes to help.

Tim I am pretty sure you are in IL, The Ultralitght Place out of the KVAA airport-Greater Kankakee airport I am sure can take care of you. You just need to bring it to them. Ask for Jim Leone.

Thank you Gino. I actually found a guy who is going to come to me and do my inspection.

Good Deal Tim

Condition Inspection Done. Guy was like “Wow, this should be fairly easy.” He found it odd it had only one logbook. I guess in the certificated world they have one each for the frame, motor, and prop? Anyway, glad that is done.

Separate log books are used so you can sell the prop or engine separately. As trikes are rarely “separated” and when they do, it’s usually after a wreck and no one expects a logbook at that point. A 1960 Cessna may be on its 10th motor and some may have been replaced or upgraded as the decades went on and 9 of those motors may still be flying. So it’s a little different. But you can always start a log book for each. Most trike pilots have enough trouble keeping up with 1 book.
