Marvinrobot Posted July 17, 2013 Author Share Posted July 17, 2013 I wont have mine there as I dont have room in the van. I have brought some fuel for mine so you can have a taxi around in it. Any constructive feedback would be appreciated. Nothing is perfect first time and If I ever built another, removing any problematic design flaws would be advantageous. You might have to kick me on Friday night or Saturday as I don't know many peoples faces. Not long now till the fly in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvinrobot Posted July 23, 2013 Author Share Posted July 23, 2013 A big thank you to all those who helped me trial my Paratrike at the fly-in. The launching gave me a lot to think about and after a little post event diagnosis I have worked out what I was doing wrong. The learning points were, A line assists may not be as helpful as I first thought. They do assist the inflation but there is no feedback to the pilot where the wing is going as it raises up. I am fitting a second mirror on the cross bar to give a lower view of the wing as it inflates. The link below was also helpful. http://www.trikebuggy.com/video/expertvillage/17.htm Additionally I was not holding enough power to keep the tension in the lines which resulted in the wing rolling off the top. I will go away and try the new learning points. 'Everyday is a school day' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also build a trike from kite buggy too, and later, put the A-riser assist. here is picture of me and my trike while waiting for take-off turn in a flying ocation in Indonesia. you can notice the A-assist bar, the 2 antenas-like in the front of hangging point, attach with a line to the riser A. As far as my experience (I have been flown it for about a year now), I still can sense if the glider raises in wrong direction. can you explain with more detail about whats going on with your inflating ? many thank you and sorry about my bad english.

Marvinrobot Posted July 27, 2013 Author Share Posted July 27, 2013 Hi Christoffel, Thanks for viewing my thread. If I get any more launching problems I will probably try the stick A' line assists that you have used. I think it was more operator error rather than the trike. I have the larger rear view mirror which I will be mounting tomorrow. 'Everyday is a school day' Giles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyB Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Since you are being abusive and calling me a thief....would anyone like to see the copy of the plans I have so that you can also see that they are not copyrighted and have nothing on them that says they cannot be shared. I have already appollogised to this guy and said I wouldn't share them again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidG4 Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Why have you gone down the microlight route rather than staying lightweight and avoiding the caa completely? What advantage does it confer? Other than allowing the extra weight of course... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
