All different types of aircraft have their negative characteristics, but in my opinion that has got to be the safest Category of aircraft in existence today, provided it is maintained correctly, and that one is hyper aware of not stalling out a wing tip during steep turns at low airspeeds, such as in not paying attention and letting the airspeed drop off while turning downwind. Flown helicopters for many years, never been a fan of fixed wing flight, but this machine is very impressive! Looks like an affordable and safer way to own a machine for one to privately get their helicopter-like low level slow flight fix.
Ahhhh larry amy. Great to see the soaring bug get you! Ive always said to myself i wonder what you would come up if you produced a soaring trike! With youre incredable attention to construction quality and getting the most out of a great wing. The rev looks great and is an awesome Outback trike none the less . Thanks for all you do for this great sport.
I just noticed the loose hang-in bracket that slides some distance along the keel tube. Ref. 2:37 m. Is this done deliberately and if so why ? Seems a little scary to me. Otherwise a fine illustrative video.
Yes it’s a sliding hang bracket like all of our trikes use. The forward position is used on the ground to statically balance the wing so the control bar is weightless and the aft position is the dynamic position during flight. Also the forward position allows the wing tips to drop lower to the ground when folded for more compact storage.
@@LarrySMednick. Thank you for the explanation - just thought the hang-in bracket would slide unexpectedly when engine off or idling depending on the position of the control bar. But now understand that this is no problem in reality. Very fine video.
@Larry Mednick ..Jesus Christ! Your trike is too good to fly!!!! 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 ..I absolutely loved the 'Look mom no hands' moment! 😄😄 👏🏼👏🏼 ..They're sooo well designed & carefully built that they promises stable & safer flights. .& convenient landings... ..Although, one needs to be skilled enough to fly them effortlessly.....Talking about skill. .my goodness!....I'll run out of better words if I start praising about how amazing you are at flying!...I should say that you're the 21Century's Orville Wright......Huh! I wish if I could live your life just how you do as an aviator! ..When I was watching this video, 3 questions came to my mind; 1. If it's able to land like that smooth with the motor off, is it possible for them to take off from a hill slope too just like the normal hang gliders do? 2. If it's able to glide like that as a hang glider when the engine is turned off, isn't it possible you can travel more than 150km?...You save enough fuel in this process...You just have to push the control bar forward to get lifts when it tries to come down & use the propeller sometimes to get more lifts & speed then again turning it off & use its gliding tech?? 3. What if a sudden huge gust of wind blows right towards your trike when you're flying it high without the motor on??....How you'd manage the critical situation & keep your aircraft from stalling?? 🤔 ..Hope you'll make a replyto these queries....Thanks!
Thank you! Yes it would be possible to takeoff down the hill, however the glide ratio on the REV X is quite poor compared to a Hang Gliding so just like a Cessna when you shut the engine off you better start looking for a place to land. With that said there is no more efficient way to get more range out of the rev X by turning the motor on and off, you’re better off just getting to its most efficient form which is called best lift over drag And fly with a steady power setting. Lastly, the motor has no use for stall recovery or flying in general. It only makes the aircraft go up or stay up but does not help it fly. And that was the point of this video is that the aircraft flies perfectly with the motor off.
@@LarrySMednick ..Sir, it's really appreciative that you took your valuable time to answer my queries....I think I'm getting a clearer picture now about hang gliding & microlight flying....I just visited Evolutiontrike yesterday & was browsing through the picture gallery & I've to admit the trikes look absolutely marvellous with their designs & color combinations...And they look very much ultramodern & safe as well!....Thanks again for sharing all your precious knowledge among people who cherish interest in flying...Have a nice day. 👍🏻🙋🏼♂️🪂
The sliding hang block moves the CG forward when static (on the ground) to balance the wing and to lower the wingtips when folded for minimum height of 5’6” when folded. The hang block moves back when the wing created lift to trim at its designed trim speed in the air. Also available (usually on our high performance wings) is an electric actuator which allows the pilot to trim or move the hang block in flight with a switch to change trim speeds. Some of our wings have a 50 mph hands off trimable speed range
So in many cases the wing is actually smaller than a hang glider with a stall speed 3X higher. But take the typical weight of a hang glider wing of around 60lbs and these wings generally weigh from 90-130lbs with up to 5 times the gross weight capacity. So there is a big difference in strength, but not size.
I had a Sabre Trike That I could fly hands off like that. I currently have a Gibbo trike with a Solairus wing. Haven’t flown it yet, hoping it does as well. Your trike looks like it is a flying tank. Is it really an ultralight?
Your gonna love that nw solairus wing. I have an atf with polini thor 250. It rocks and great in po thermals. Iam getting about 960 fpm climb at 3000 ft agl. Just an awrsome wing
Wow! kilan kaya ako magkakaroon ng REV X?,sarap siguro mag ride sa ibabaw ng isla ng Catanduanes gamit ang REV X! safe na safe gamitin!.Sana ay mapansin ni Sir Larry Mednick ang comment ko kahit na Pilipino Language ang gamit ko.
We all do.. from trikes to A380s. I fly GA and the only time we use power is to prevent sink below the glide path or if for some reason we have to make as shallow approach and need to reduce the vertical rate a little. If you are are set up correctly and know your wind you can just pull the power and ride it to the ground. The last 10 miles in an airliner is usually with throttles at idle. I love recreational flying in light aircraft but i think i i need to try this.. It's as close to being an Eagle as you're gonna get.
They are very draggy so you can come in hot without too much ground roll. But these approaches are still in the 50 MPH range and touching down around 30 MPH which is slower than most slow airplanes.
Sadly, we're just not there with batteries yet. However, the new solid state batteries may be able to provide enough power for their weight, but that technology is 5 to 10 years away. There are a few weight shift trikes that run off of Lithium Batteries. I understand the maximum run time is 20 to 30 minutes. The new solid state batteries will increase the time to about 50 to 75 minutes.
That's a great single seat trike Larry: you think you could customize one for a right leg amputee? Taking a Vet up soon for a Hero flight who seems to really want keep going with his Light Sport Rating. That Rev falls in the 103 cat doesn't it?
Brian Fox yes, twist grip usually. But there are other options. For 1 leg we switch the throttle to the good leg and lock the steering usually and make the steering electric.

Is the glider larger for trikes or same as normal hang glider
You definitely want a bigger wing to carry that extra weight
So in many cases the wing is actually smaller than a hang glider with a stall speed 3X higher. But take the typical weight of a hang glider wing of around 60lbs and these wings generally weigh from 90-130lbs with up to 5 times the gross weight capacity.

Viewing this makes me wonder why most pilots don't just keep their engines at idle when in decent to the LZ. This would be a great practice skill.
They do.
We all do.. from trikes to A380s. I fly GA and the only time we use power is to prevent sink below the glide path or if for some reason we have to make as shallow approach and need to reduce the vertical rate a little.

I’ve been surprised by the high landing speeds these trikes seem to have. Likely due to the lack of flaps I suppose.
They are very draggy so you can come in hot without too much ground roll. But these approaches are still in the 50 MPH range and touching down around 30 MPH which is slower than most slow airplanes.
