Seanyboy876 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 (edited) Does anybody on here fly a trike. I’ve been training on foot launch and was about to take my first flight when I had a work accident and broke both ankles and damaged a knee (still currently a problem). I’m self employed and can’t afford to be of work injured, nor do I want to damage myself any more than I already have. I’m not prepared to risk having a heavy Landing and risk serious injury again, but I’m desperate to fly. I’ve got a parajet volition 2 compact and a paramania revo 2 wing, 28m/2. I’ve had a trike made to fit my motor and would like an experienced eye cast over my set up before I fly. My instructor has more or less abandoned me as “he doesn’t train on trikes”. Any info or help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance Edited September 25, 2018 by Seanyboy876 Misspelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I have just built a trike and had arranged to fly with Skychool end August so they could train me........but then I spent the last 4 months recovering after back surgery instead!
