I've been LQQKing deeply into aircraft of the Part 103 types & there's so many that are #103 aircraft but there are also many that are not & the difference in them can be minute. Weight, number of seats, fuel tank size, and other rules limit things so I've got to be careful in my search. I'm starting to really like the Glider Winged Trikes & I think I like the controls of a glider wing better than a stick + common aircraft controls. The glider wing seems more natural to the body movements & I like the pusher style as well but I'm curious about the way the wing/trike are connected? That's a super important part of this aircraft & not many of these channels talk much about the actual connection? How different are different connectors to the trikes & are some better than others. Are any more dangerous or have they failed? Again, I'm only researching & asking pilots this stuff as I lack the proper words to research them..... lol, tells you how uneducated I am but I landed here to learn. Thanks for the video >> peace
Certainly the keel attachment point is triple sleeved. The connection point has to be able to move in 2 planes. My trike has a nylon block between 2 plates. I inspect it every time I fly. The attachment point illustrated the value of ordering the wing and trike from the same manufacturer.
Thank you for that, indeed it's a good reason to buy from the same point..... I've yet to see anyone speak on the subject & I'm only now making mention to you. It's more critical than even the engine, in my opinion. Ohh, and my opinion is a very humble non-educated one. I asked you b/c I could actually see the "Joint" operating as you flew. The great stress that's on this piece drives me to look into deeply. Thank you again, peace
