    I want to loose all of that and switch to an electric motor. Gas is on the way out. It’s time to go green. I want to build an all electrical system. I have spent a good portion of my life turning a wrench on gas and diesel engines. It’s time I learn electric. But I really need help with that. My project is at the perfect point to build in the electrical system. Any help out there?

    That is ok, I have absolutely no intent to fly in the winter. I learned how to skydive in the winter. Pretty well done with cold wind in my face. 😁

    Hi, I was wondering if you were talking about my trike? I could share more pics if you like. I have a space where I can build hard points. I have made my seat removable. But when it’s clipped in, it’s not going anywhere. As far as spinal compression goes…I got that one covered already. I’m a complete fusion from my hips to my neck. At this point, if it compresses I don’t want to live through it.

    Yea, kind of like me. I realize there is a limited flight time. But so do I. I just want to go putz around for a bit. Right now I have no real “want” to fly a little trike. That only goes about 45 – 50mph cross country. I live in Western Nebraska…..It all looks the same from the air…lol.

    I would love to be at the point that when those new batteries come out. It will just be a battery upgrade.

    Sounds like the 47hp would work great. Use most to take off and just a little to fly. Have extra hp if you need. Nice.

    Thank you. Will look into that system closer.

    Hello, welcome to the group. I wish I has some idea how to build a wing. There would be no way I would try that one myself. What did you use for a motor setup?

    I like the REVO’s . I think they are built really good. I would like to end up with a Northwing on top of my trike. I honestly think the Northwing is the best trike wing on the market. With electric propulsion and a really cool looking Northwing on top. That would make the ultimate Jetwing restoration.

    I wonder how one of those would work if they were installed correctly? Kept above 30%, and out in western Nebraska. We don’t have allot of either humidity, or lizards. I would sure test one out here if he would give me one to test.

    I have honestly wondered about those batteries. I bet long about the third generation of batteries will be allot better.

    That is a really hard climb. After 12 years I hope we can do better. I think it is just a matter of getting in touch with the right person to help.
