tomarnold Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 I just got out of hospital after being in for a week after landing on a fence when freeflying. I have several significant breaks, mostly within the right knee. The physios have said that once the cast is off (I have a full-length cast on the right leg) if I work hard at my exercises then I should be able to fly again with 6-12 months. Aaargh! How am I supposed to stay on the ground for all that time! So I am looking at buying a lightweight trike so that I can take off and land on wheels. This will help protect my knee from future damage as well even once the 12 months has passed. The only trouble is that I don't really have any money available to buy a new trike. I reckon I could source up to £500 from my bank and pay it back over a year or two - it would be worth it to get back in the air. Does anybody happen to have a trike that they would like to sell? Or perhaps somebody knows someone who could build a simple light trike? My motor is a Fresh Breeze Solo unit, and when I bought it (from Alan McNab) it was mounted on a trike (I think it was a Bullix trike) and I adapted it back to foot-launch, so I know it works well on a trike.

wildemt Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Hey mate, Sorry to here about the accident. Good for you to get back on the horse! I have an Alufly trike for sale. It is italian made and breaks down really nicely for transport. Asking 475 for it. Best, Ric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
