Bruce's First Weight Shift Control Solo

Bruce is a private pilot airplane who took lessons from 3 different CFIs in 4 different wings due to scheduling around the Oshkosh trip. He will be flying his new red monsoon in Central Florida begining at Zephyrhills. We are happy to see Bruce and Jodi join our Zhills trike family and plan join them lots of cross country flying to points of interest around the state, and maybe a very long one once or twice a year.

Weight Shift Control means the wing is guided through the air by changing the center of load on the wing by moving the carriage with the control bar. The wing is stable in yaw (horizontal rotation) because of its Delta shape that exposes more leading edge to the side that tries to turn toward the relative wind. The pitch and roll are stabilized by the wing shape until it is changed by shifting the weight of the hanging carriage. It is a powered hanglider! Visit my web site
