I will have to erase your bad language, but the REVO is the best with comparable pricing to comparable trikes. See the price list on Evolutiontrikescom. An 80 horse with minimum options is around 50k, but most people want the options which total around 88k. If you can't afford that, wait for some used ones to come on the market. They are built to last a long long time.
Not meaning to get picky, I couldn't help noticing the wind conditions varied from trike to trike, the Airborne seemed to me to have the worst of it. {:)
We definitely recorded different gusts on different trikes. The video you saw was all of the trikes that flew during that hour. The Airborne overhead took the roughest recorded hit and he may have over corrected a little. It was rough enough that other trikes did not stay in the air when I was there. The most consistant & steady wind cutter was Larry in the Revo with the Reflex 11 wing.
I am pretty sure that Revo is an awesome machine, but I can not ignore the pilot skill on that Revo, I wish he was my instructor, because my own instructor almost got us both killed the day before solo in gusty winds like these.
The other pilots you see are experienced, but not in flying in this kind of wind. The first skill to achieve is decision making to not try it until you are very comfortable in calm wind. Advanced training with someone like Larry will improve your skill further. I also have to say that smooth landings and takeoffs you see in the video are due to the wing and wing tuning and his ability to trust the wing through experience with it.
I cannot fly that wing as well as Larry, but better than other wings I have tried. The best advice I had before solo flying was to take baby steps when practicing your techniques and stay in the pattern for a while. I didn't listen real well until I had a negative experience. Hopefully your experience will set your goals toward safety first.
There is no need to get primary training in this type of shearing wind. This condition is due to a front. Only advanced training should be done in these conditions to make a trike pilot more comfortable in handling such conditions. I am sorry your instructor decided to fly you in your primary training in such conditions. Be careful. One of the biggest things in becoming a pilot is in decision making
buenos ejemplos pa la gente vea que se puede. felicidades de chile .

I have not flown the Quick, but my Revo with the Reflex Sport is trimming at 90 hands off with the slidding hangblock.
