Reminds me of a single seat trike me and brother bought back in the 80s ,it was damaged in a crash and a pretty straight forward rebuild and all associated paperwork with CAA in England and remember all the excitement and anticipation of just the ground test with no wing and then bought a great hand giding wing and married up to trike perfectly and then some lessons and Flying round my local area in a rebuilt machine made me so proud . Unless you have done it with no Aviation experience but just a will to fly is fantastic..... wish I still few but has become cost prohibitive.
So it can be done then... You've answered a long standing question for me as I know they can provide enough thrust, well proven in the foot launched units ...but thought they would struggle in a nonolight..good work...
Thank you very much for this video....i build myselfe a little trike that got a 15hp Yamaha KT100 cc engine on it with a reduction drive.......now you gave me more encouragement to go an finish the small final touches....and go tested it...if got a bigger Windlass trike also...but would love it to fly the small little one.....also....it might be a little bit more fun.....but it can also be hard work.....im weighting at 48kg....i think this small one will be a pleasure.thanks for your video.love it
Can someone please explain this? What are the wings made of? I mean they look like they are made of the same cloth used in umbrella canopy material. You know what happens during a thunderstorm, the umbrealla collapses. So these guys taking this up to 10000 feet etc, how they hell don't they collapse like a umbrellas collapsing in high wind? I mean even the professionally manufactured ones look very flimsy. Please explain this to me, these things are fascinating, its like we found a loop hole to fly like birds (for some reason the commercial aircraft doesn't have the same effect, as a layman) Why aren't many people using this to go to work and come home?
Hi Brian, Thank you for the video. I would like to build a trike. Would 2" square aluminum tube 1/8" wall 6061 be a good choice on the main frame and mast? Thank you John
Hi John, That's what I use for my mast, but I also sleeve the inside of it with two round aluminum tubes nested together, each roughly 1/16th thick, for extra strength. Here's a recent video of me flying my trike: th-cam.com/video/ftGZ5gk6mUg/w-d-xo.html
Hi Brian, How high is the mast? Should I build my own attaching point or buy one? I wasn't sure how to make the nylon bushing. Thank you very much, John
Nice video , i am really fan of your videos , by the way can a hang glider pilot will be able to fly and control this type of microlight trike ? as the controls looks same :)
Yep, I hear you. I'm reminded that every aircraft has a mission. This one is designed solely as a soaring trike...just enough Hp to get you up in the thermals. That wing though, is a nice flier (clean and double-surfaced).
Radne Raket,very common 2T engine in kart racing.The rules are engine swept volume based and Radne are well known engines.Unusual to see them in aircraft application.
@@bradbrown2168 Nope. I had to do a deep search and after seeing many types of trikes and reading reviews I came to simple, light, and strong design that I've been flying and its been a total succes ;)
@@Rick_Cavallaro hey Rick, you’ll be fine. The control system is almost identical except in Trikes you’re in a sitting position. Crossover skills are nearly seamless. But it would be good to get 5 to 6 hours of dual instruction before your solo. Just because you’ll learn a few specifics to Trikes that are different from non-powered hang gliding. Anyway, as we get older, it sure is nice to be on wheels instead of foot launch, even though I still enjoy the foot lunch part. All the best my man, John.

I have a nano trike that was flying with a fresh breeze solo 210 18HP engine from PPG. I mounted my Moster 185 which is approx 27hp.
Great little trike and nice flight . Keep the videos coming . You do an awesome job !
Love watching your videos. Nice Job on the trike Brian. Love the Hat
Wau i love your video I always wanted to learn how to fly. I live flying. Thank you for the video
hello friend, I like your lifestyle with a positive aura, greetings from Indonesia
Awesome video thanks for sharing.

these things look so simple im gonna have to make one
Beautiful flying I do like it but I don’t know how to own
brilliant love it
this surprised me, my foot launch wasp unit struggled to give me a descent TO distance, I'm 75kg naked.

I’d be interested in buying plans. I have a homemade ppg trike I want to convert.
suddenly i sing along...say it 2nite...
Sell trike plans?
love to have one like this❤🎉
Here in Uganda we don't know even what that is I wish you can send one I try it out
The life I love is that
ATTENTION: Coming out soon we will have plans and detailed instructions available for the Mosquito mini trike design.
I'd be very interested in getting a set of those plans. Have they come out yet?
I am interested in the one in rhis video can you pm me with info?
@@johnmartin-ck4ot sold last year but will soon be offering plans.
@@aktundrapilot thank you keep me posted
muy buenas noches donde poder comprar unas alas delta para construir un trike ultraligero tengo pasión
I wonder which one of those are easiest to fly these that he's flying now or the ones would like the the parachute I'm not sure what you call them
Hi Brian,
How high is the mast? Should I build my own attaching point or buy one? I wasn't sure how to make the nylon bushing. Thank you very much, John
Not for sale anymore. Love my new trike!
كم اتمنى تجربة التحليق واحساس عدم الجاذبية انتم عندكم هواية ونحن عندنا حلم فهنيئا لكم وشكرا على الجولة .
Those seem like a lot of fun! Are those wings different than a hang glider?
Pretty much the same as a hang glider wing.
Interested, Would be interested in converting to electric. Minnesota- Long way to ship
Nice video , i am really fan of your videos , by the way can a hang glider pilot will be able to fly and control this type of microlight trike ? as the controls looks same :)
Yes, very easy to adapt to trikes having flown hang gliders. Only major difference is you have power...but it is an easy learn. Thanks!
@@skycowboyak4549 thanks for reply
I want to get a plane like this.
How can I do that?
Is the control setup more intuitive/ easier than say, a traditional Cessna ? Using the bar?
I think so, but both are easy...compared to say a helicopter control system.
Đong co bao nhieu hp vay ban oi
Nice trike, I had not heard of that engine. I would personally want to have a little more power and not need it than to need it and not have it 😜.

Good point -- polini makes a water cooled 80

Sir, is it a 16hp engine do you use?
For this trike, yes.
Where are you located?
Fairbanks, Alaska
How much did it cost to build
Where can I find the basic plans of a minitrike? Measurments of structure, where to mount the motor, etc etc Thanks :)
Did you ever find plans?
@@bradbrown2168 Nope. I had to do a deep search and after seeing many types of trikes and reading reviews I came to simple, light, and strong design that I've been flying and its been a total succes ;)
What elevation is that airport?
I am from Pakistan, can you provide all parts and tools to assemble here in Pakistan. Thanks & Regards.
If you have Facebook you can pm Brian Harlan for this information.
Hail to Pakistan! What is your progress? Was you lucky enough to build trike?
do you have utlralight trike for sale? two seater.
@@pilotopedia possibly
Quantos quilos vc tem e quantos hp tem esse motor ?
15 libras e 14 cv a 9000 rpm
Is good🇮🇩👆
what is the total weight sir??
Wing and Trike: 145 lbs
Have you ever seen somebody successfully self-train? Asking for a friend.
No I haven't. Probably possible but since we only get to die once, it's best to get training...usually you live longer that way.
@@skycowboyak4549 I know, I know. Trainers are few and far between.
@@Les__Mackcheck out airsportster.com That's where I got my training.
@@skycowboyak4549 Do you feel you need specific training to go from HG to trike? I'm an H4/P4 with some ultralight experience and a PPL.
