Solo on a tandem trike


Rupy

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I am a new guy in this sport,and have a few queries.Firstly,Can I do a solo on a tandem trike,as there would be a significant loss of wieght for the glider,which IMHO may get dangerous.While speaking to a dealer he said that there was no issue as one just has to shift to different hang points.I am not buying this as a glider is supposed to be more stable towards its top side of the weight category.Secondly.Other queries are listed below-

-Can a tandem trike be folded up for portability.

-Can an emergency chute be used for the full all up weight(two passengers and the machine).

-What is the best engine for tandem weight of two adults(80+80 kgs range).Also solo when required.

Please help.Thanks in advance.

Yes, a tandem trike will fly solo. The trike is NOT the wing - the wing is a separate thing. We do not normally fly tandem wings solo, well outside their weight range.

Yes.

Yes.

Bigger is easier 250cc or more, but 200 can work.
