Guy Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Looking good Andy. I don't have sufficient experience to give advice, but where would you go to get instruction on the launch technique for a trike rather than foot launch? I know how I do it but that doesn't mean it's right. Can anyone else give some pointers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alan_k Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 That's fantastic Andy. I bet you have good sense of achievement with this build. Good job you had a strong workbench to use. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casper Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 To make it even easier, add hooks on the hoop to hold the lines. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 14 hours ago, Casper said: To make it even easier, add hooks on the hoop to hold the lines. I use short lengths of cable ties taped on vertically to the outer edge of the frame...........these are strong enough to hold the lines at a convenient height but if any of the lines slip over them during the launch, they don't offer any resistance to the lines running back over them as the wing rises. I can photo if it helps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am assuming that my arms will be able to do exactly the same as they do when I am stood up. So I am sure why I would need anything to help with lines on the hoop? Sometimes it just helps to support the lines away from the wheels while you are getting into the machine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bending of the central tube was a bit crazy. Needed at least twice my weight to shift it......and I had to bend a little, remove from bending clamp, reassemble unit and see if enough. And here is it mounted. Fantastic Andy! Well done you! It looks very nice! Can't wait to see it flying! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
