I like to secure as many battens as possible before hauling back so that they seat well in the front of the pocket. But since the sprogs need to go up after you haul back you really cannot get the last 5-6 battens in without undoing them again.

Seatbeltplanet.com ask for same as a REVO.

Hey Roger, those don’t typically leak because they get old. They typically leak because people don’t use the proper part they go into which is CCA2474. Without this they will leak unless it’s a really old reservoir, then they can screwed in directly. This is a very common problem and no one seems to know about it.
Aircrafts price sells this part and the quick drain as well.

I have mics in stock and can solder them in all day long easy. I do not have the booms though. Mics tend to go out from time to time and I can handle that easily. Just ship me the helmet. Call for details. 813-810-9262

And I always learned things from the forum.

Hey Jeff, it hasn’t happened yet on this forum, but heated debates can erupt and when they do, the “schooled losers” like to delete their comments before others can see the thread. Back in the day we had Trikepilot.com and what made it great was 2 things: you had to visit the site to see the latest “action” on the home page or it “fell off” the page and NO TAKE BACKS. If someone said something ignorant, and someone else took the time to educate that person, all could benefit from the thread. I remember I got schooled by Abid one time. Speaking of, where is Abid on this forum. He was one of about 3 “trouble makers that made the forum a heated discussion board at basically all times.
Anyway I hope that the trouble makers make it over to this forum at some point and start some debates because they usually become educational and entertaining even though feelings get hurt sometimes.

Unfortunately, there are many misconceptions and ignorance regarding trikes. If I had to guess, they probably think you are talking about a powered parachute, which does not takeoff from a runway like an airplane and needs to be set up on the runway and doesn’t have a radio. Many of these pilots and airport owners had negative experiences with pilots that didn’t have an FAA license back in the day. But it’s their airport and they can do as they wish. Public airports cannot deny you access. Unfortunately, when you don’t know enough to know enough to say the right buzzword such as that, you have a radio and know How to use it and what the speed of your machine is and that you understand airport procedures, etc. you are going to run into road blocks that may not be there otherwise.
I remember reading the rulebook for a grass runway 7 miles away from our big airport we fly out of with all of the Jets and skydivers and Flight Training schools with Cessna and twins, and everything in between. The rulebook said, powered parachutes, trikes, and other aircraft with limited controllability may not operate out of their field. If that’s not ignorance, I don’t know what is.
Many pilots once they’re trained do get the opportunity to go and talk and show and tell about their Trike. Many of those restrictions get lifted for individuals at least when you know what to say.
This isn’t the first time we’ve heard stories like this. So it is happening, but definitely not The norm.

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.

I can say there is not much that makes me happier than when our customers do SO MUCH with their new toys! It’s so amazing to hear and hopefully watch (videos) of our Team REVO family living their best life flying trikes. Awesome Chris. Just awesome. You are an inspiration!

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.

Last we know, the 120 hour LSRM course will no longer allow this privilege. In the mean while Brian and Carol Carpenter are tirelessly attacking this new problem. So any existing LSRMs can continue with privileges, but the hoops Mosaic has placed moving forward will put an end to the old way of doing things. Here is the video on the subject https://youtu.be/sveMP-yCrtI?si=vgoAN_IuiPvgw0tO

So we were never very regulated with LSA before, but constant speed props (I will want one) 3 seat trikes, retractable gear are some of the things we could see as a result. On the other hand if you want to get your LSRM, light sport repairman cert then you need to do it before the end of the year to get grandfathered in.
These are the things I am personally thinking about.

Unfortunately most people don’t know the difference. Even some pilots… that’s just the truth.

See if it’s there now. I asked our admin to approve your pin. I have a meeting with him Friday to see if we can take the moderation off the pin drop and speed this site up.
Thank you VERY much for pinning yourself on our World map.
