Winter Trike Flying
The plan was to fly to Arthurs Pass, which is nestled amongst the Southern Alps and just over half way between the South Islands east and west coasts.
Reaching heights of just over 7,000 ft it didn't take long before the cold started to impact my Ipad (navigation) and EFIS displays (atltitude, speed).
When the hand started to go numb, I knew it was time to turn back. The joys of flying a trike in the middle of winter.

Turbulence in a Trike
Просмотров 858Год назад
I really enjoy flying trikes as it's one of the most basic forms of powered flying there is. Feeling the wind on your face is just like riding a motorbike in the sky. The only downside is their sensitivity to turbulence and the number of days you're unable to fly as a result. In this video I fly into a gentle nor-wester where I experience both down and updrafts. Is a Gyro the answer?

Wanted to trial the SkyEcho2 while flying from Rangiora to Mount Cook, New Zealand's highest mountain. Not everything went according to plan but it was a thoroughly enjoyable with stunning views. For further information on the SkyEcho 2 please visit uavionix.com/products/skyecho/

Southern Alps in Summer

A very quick flight into the Southern Alps which take on a completely different appearance during summer. Will need to return again once they get their first snow of the winter.

    Let me ask you something why would fly with those when its windy? Those trikes are made to fly with them on nice weather there is no point doing something that is unsafe and potentially crash, beside this they are very safe to fly with them and funny just like riding motorcycle 🫡

    Man that looks rough to the point of not being much fun anymore. But I guess you have to learn to fly in those kind of conditions. Nice landings.

    Here in So Cal, many of my Flexwing friends have switched to Gyros. The reasons are several, including turbulence. But there are other factors to consider. The Gyro requires less pilot control strength input. As pilots get older or suffer from health conditions, Flexwings can cause a bit of a challenge. In any case, you do trade in a few things by switching to a Gyro. Chief among them is the price, but at the end of the day, it is a personal choice on what makes your flying experience enjoyable.

    • @michaelbailey2476

      Trikes are inherantly stable. Positive in pitch, neutral in roll generally. Turbulence is hard work if you fight it too much.

    @wrdturkey Год назад

    Anything that flies is awesome. I prefer to fly trikes. I dislike gyros because of several issues. There are too many moving parts that keep me in the air. Most gyros I've seen flying, have a constant movement on the control stick. I'm guessing this is caused by imbalance. I don't like how long the takeoff roll is to get off the ground. Everyone has there own personal preferences. I wish you luck in making yours. Fly safe and take care. Keep the videos coming.
