FlyHound Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 (edited) I have finally given up on foot launching in no wind situations. So I bought a trike, but I feel after watching enough videos and dry run with wing , I feel I can confidently launch . I haven’t had any formal trike training, what is there in class that I need to fly . Important is set up and layout. Anything else. Ridiculous to have to pay another 2500.00 to 3500.00 for trike training. Your thoughts ? Be gentle Edited March 29, 2019 by FlyHound 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Nice to hear. I don't intend on being formally trained either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurt Fister as mentioned elsewhere on this site, he does have a useful if unnecessarily long video on u tube about setting out the wing for a trike launch. It is certainly the way that I do it and so far all ok. A lot cheaper and more convenient than any further tuition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
