Learn to Fly a Trike - Trike Flying

[apollonorthamerica]

Law or no law you need proper training to fly a trike safely unless you have a death wish. I am so amazed at people asking "do I need a license to fly this"? As opposed to what, "can I go fly this without training or license to see if I can kill myself"? What kind of stupid question is this honestly. I have been training people to fly trikes and have created now dozens of pilots and many many pilots who were airplane pilots and all needed on average 12 to 15 hours to solo

Do i need a license To buy or fly a trike in norway, And how much does it cost?

[JewTube001]

I need to save up for one of these.

[hippybackpacker]

I flew with Paul in Kauai, Hawaii...he was totally awesome...hey Paul, I soloed on my Airborne Edge X, I am just building experience before my check ride, I hope to see you soon.

[PaulDHamilton]

That was allot of fun providing intro/discovery lessons in Kauai. Glad to hear you are becoming a trike pilot.

[dentremont123]

do you need a pilot license to fly these

[themacman99]

cam you fly them any were

[PaulDHamilton]

Yes, with a sport pilot license or a private for weight-shift control, you can fly almost anywhere

[chris5812341234]

you do not need a license to buy this or fly it you just need to learn how. i think u need one in germany though

[PaulDHamilton]

In the US, you DO NOT need a license to fly a single seat, but you do need a FAA sport pilot license two fly a two seater

[shylildude]

how much is a trike and where can you buy one?

[zigfly78]

Check out "Barnstormers" onlline, then search trikes. You will come up with about 20 different brands....then just google a dealer for the one you find interesting.

[psyfertech]

wait, shouldnt you get a pilots license first?

[wasanoix]

[NeverMind785]

Is that an AirCreation Ultralight?

[mainmark25]

hi.~

question for you.~

am playing flight simulator x.

discovered this plane.~

where can i learn this.~

i currently reside in singapore.~

cheers mate.~

[AhmadMashallah]

how can I get my license? and where to buy one in Australia? and where would I be able to fly it?

[shushberger]

how dangerous is it? are ballistic parachutes available for these planes?

[PaulDHamilton]

The dangers like most aircraft are determined by the pilot and yes ballistic parachutes are on many trikes

[johnnyblunder]

Paul is it something you would recommend a parachute on a ultralight? just as you dont see many pilots have them on thier machines...And where in the uk can your dvds be bought from mate?

[Marleyboybob]

Yeh mate where can we get your DVD's?

[shushberger]

how fast are these? is it a problem goinf far every weekend with one? how much fuel does it use?

[PaulDHamilton]

can cruise anywhere fron 40 MPH to 80MPH, ypu cab go azs far as you want, it burns about 3 to 4 gallons per hour

[nickunick]

...and here in the UK there is a 'Quik' from Pegasus which has a speed trim wheel (think it adjusts the luff on the trailing edge) which means you can fly at 100mph (if you can afford the fuel!)

[heronprankers]

can someone please tell me where to buy one of these?

[sroder]

Heron I can think of a couple places to buy one. Kemmeries Aviation in AZ sells Air Creation Trikes. TC's trikes in Tennessee sells his own brand, as well as Northwing Trikes. Fly hard trikes is in Tennesee as well. Then there is Gibbo Gear Trikes in Texas. All the companies are on the web, search them out.

[ashimpurohit]

Where can i learn to fly these things?/ashim

[Howrualldoing]

Excellent video. Very informative. I would have rather not had the background music though as it was hard to listen to the actual instruction.

[Bobanjudee]

No foot throttle??

[AceGForce]

this is an Aircraft, Aircrafts don't have the throttle on the floor. your feet are used to turn the rudder and nose Gear.

[loppor]

Wrong, there are quite a lot of Microlights that have the throttle on the floor (pedal)

[nickunick]

...and trikes don't have rudders. The Air Creation (Fun GT Bis) has a very nice foot throttle - it's a cast alloy hinged footrest, a bit like a car accelerator pedal (auto gas pedal..?)

Nice Vid!

[Earlmister]

Nope, not really, but if you want to fly without a license your trike need to meet some requirements:

-It cannot hold more than 5 gallons (19 liters) of fuel

-the full weight stall speed can not be more than 24 knots(!)

-it must have only one seat

-the trike cannot weigh more than 230 pounds(i think)

-The trike cannot be capable of speeds exceeding 65 knots

as long as your trike meets these requirements (and maybe some few more), you can fly without a license as much as you want.

[bae215]

Do you need a License to fly ultralights?

[Earlmister]

well damn i was wrong. meet the requirements in the trailer (FAR: Federal Aviation Regulations part 103) and you can fly with no license.
