at 5:34 you can see him go 90 deg, maybe a little more even. You can see he quickely returns to 0 after he saw that. heheh....pretty lucky if you ask me (don't push God's buttons)

I fly 6ft over groud banking to a 15sec 360 deg turn.
My flights are hell exciting. Ill post my yesterdays video. LOOF FOR IT.

I wanna buy one of those...Which are the best ones?

Be careful. Any trike pilot trained in the UK is able to perform 60 degree banked turns without losing height - it's part of the syllabus. The same pilots will also tell you that continuing an advanced turn beyond 270 degs is downright dangerous due to wake & various gyroscopic effects. Don't try it! PS I'm a trike instructor with 5000+ hours....

Very nice however the coment "USAF carrier pilot who now flies 777's" doesnt mean much. Trikes fly nothing like 3 axis aircraft. Most good trike pilots can fly 60 degree turns and maintain altitude if they have enough power. And yes, I am a trike pilot.

Search "motnik" watch "ultralight flying is fun" near the end will show what happens when you go FULLY inverted. ENJOY!!!!
-
search "motnik" and watch "ultralight flying is fun" to see a 180 degree bank inverted fall, nosedive into landing manuver!!! It is near the end of the video.

Trike never gets above the wing and barely pulls 2g. There's a slight wobble in the last segment as the trike passes through it's wake. Hardly any stress in the trike at all.

Having watched it again, im more concered about the near invertedness of the trike. AT some points the carriage is above the wing, if the frame isnt strengthened, IIRC there's a risk of it collapsing and the carriage falling throught the wing.
This is what i was taught whilst studying.
The trike is a DTA Voyager 912S. The pilot is an ex USAF carrier pilot who now flies 777's. He's a trike instructor and pilot examiner. The flight came about over a discussion to see if a trike could sustain a 60deg+ bank without losing altitude.
