I fly most every day, I can't imagine life without it. Yes you have to be diligent and always make sure your equipment is airworthy. Keep making these awesome videos.
Hi guys, love your channel and thanks for this video in memory of Wes. I when for a fly with Wes in Z’hills 2 years ago while in vacation from Oz and was shattered to hear of his passing. Stay safe, fly safe!!❤
If I were lucky enough to live in AZ, UT or NV I am pretty sure a trike would be used to ENJOY being retired! Love all of the videos you have presented for our enjoyment. Live vicariously through the Larson's videos!
@@larsonadventures580 I have my eyes on a skycycle. I'm just trying to learn before it sells, otherwise whatever comes my way when it's time. I'll be learning from my hang gliding instructor at AK Chin. The same place I'm always at in the winter anyway. It gets too cold up here in Flagstaff.
Im from the Czech republic and in November the theoretical part of my training will start. The practical part will be in the spring. It will be on Tanarg, from Air Creation.
It is worth it for me . I feel like this is what I was made for . It's so amazing how your perspective changes when you are flying above it all. Love the video.
@@larsonadventures580 thank you . I love sharing my adventures as I know y’all do . Maybe one day I’ll take the time to learn how to edit better videos like you.
Amazing video, guys!! Thank you! Keep flying forever! I just have one question: what kind of handycam do you use? Amazing zoom in and out shots! I'm thinking of adding one of those to our flight gear.
Thanks! My zoom camera is the Sony AX53. Is amazing! I often add additional stabilization in post editing and sometimes additional cropping and Ken Burns effect.
First I have to say I don’t want to offend you because you are my friends. One of my best flights ever was when you so kindly took me up flying over AZ with you in your trike. I have to ask why fly with a BRS if you keep the safety pin and tag attached to the handle? I don’t want to loose any more of my friends
Hi Glynn. Great to hear from you. Thank you for your comment and concern. While I agree it would be quicker to deploy the parachute with the pin already pulled, I have mentally practiced pulling the pin and then the deployment handle. I have a fear that someone could accidentally pull the handle or catch the handle with clothing and I fear that I would forget to replace the pin prior to exiting the aircraft. I realize this is highly unlikely. In special circumstances we have pulled the pins especially when flying high over trees and rocky terrain where we know there is no chance for a landing. We have our pins tethered for this reason. Of course time is a factor when considering pulling the parachute. So I do understand why it may be beneficial to always have the pin pulled while flying. The amount of time available to deploy a parachute depends on the type of failure, malfunction and altitude available. My fears of the parachute getting pulled accidentally may be unfounded. I have never pulled the handle and I think I read it takes 30lbs to pull it. What adds to my fears is that someone had deployed my parachute on my Quick Silver Sport while it was unattended. I love these types of discussions cuz it makes me think …so thanks for bringing it up.
If something happens to you, your passenger would not be able to pull the pin. It would be hard enough to reach the handle. Heart attacks, embolisms, seizures all happen fast. My friend Bill Finn died in air while flying. He never pulled his chute. It happened so fast.
Time is key to have enough altitude for the chute to open. Fumbling with a pin could cost you a 1000’ or more very quickly. Some debate even turning off the engine first before you deploy your chute. That extra step might cost you the height you need for the chute to open. Let alone having to pull a small safety pin. I rather have an accidental deployment on the ground than missing my opportunity to have a deployment in the air.
Guys after 3500 hours of trike flying, designing, certifying and training others, one thing I can assure you is that that turbulence you were fighting, simply does not exist in a gyroplane. Have about 1000 hours in gyroplanes now and I find them to be much more utility and much easier to fly than trikes. Still love trikes but there is a huge delta in utilization. Not even an iota of doubt about that.
Yes seems a lot of trike pilots go gyro. Maybe someday. We are both comfortable with the turbulence now and you can’t beat the silky soaring during smooth air. I would (me Diane) love to have both…and a Cub too! 😊

That's amazing you fly almost every day. We probably would if our airport wasn't 45 minutes away. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
Another great video. Thank you

Thank you. Wes impacted so many of us. So glad to hear you got to fly with him too.

Thank you so much. We are very blessed. What state do you live in?
Your videos of your flying adventures are inspirational so much so I am currently taking lessons with Joe at Hangin Over Havasu. Thank you so much
That’s awesome! We loved flying there and Joe is a great guy! Where will you be flying out of and what will you be flying?
I live in Boulder City NV and will be flying out of Havasu for now. I look forward to meeting you. thanks again for your great videos
Awesome!
Such a well done and important video for all pilots! Well done guys.
Thank you so much!
Absolutely awesome video . Thank you so much for sharing this moment. Wonderful experience.
Thanks
Thank you!
Que bom vê vocês novamente!
Como sempre nos proporcionando imagens espetaculares...❤
Thank you so much!
Another excellent Larson Adventure.
This one is timely, as I start my trike lessons next month.
That is so exciting! Congratulations! What will you be flying? I see you are in Arizona?

Awesome video you guys! I flew with you a few months ago!
That’s right! Great to hear from you! Thanks so much too! Do you still have the bug? 😊
Excellent video. Yes, Flying is worth the risk. And we know it
😊
@@Jozinko101 So true!
Great video. Got bit by the flying bug at a young age and I'm still infected. Got to keep going.
That bug will get you!
I love flying too
Yes. As long as I possibly can. Funny, but it is what is keeping me alive.
@@Therapy1044 The best therapy!

Congratulations!!!! Thanks for the excitement of watching and sharing!!
Very nice 💟
Thanks
short answer, yes its worth the risk!
Meu sonho uma máquina desta mas no meu país e muito caro
A solução é minitrike com motor Honda 250.
Many different prices. What country are you from?
Hopefully you can find a way. Thanks for your comment. What country are you from?
