- The Beauty of these FlyLight SSDR / Sub 70kg trikes fitted with Aeros wings is just how quick they are to rig and de-rig. In this video, I will show you how your aircraft can be ready to roll back into the hangover in a little over 10 minutes.
I am often asked about my aircraft, engine, wing and the equipment, instruments, cameras I use so I have listed links to everything I use below:

You know when you've been Tango'd wow, 31 years old. Nicely put together Paul.
Every time I fold my wing up I worry about get tangoed! 👍
Must be a UK only advertisement, I don’t recognize it.
@@tomcoryell it was for a drink called Tango. The advert was eventually banned because school kids kept slapping each other causing perforated ear drums!!
Easy Peasy. You know what's easier? A hangar. Thanks for the video. I'm amazed at how many ideas wing manufacturers share.
Can I send you the bill to get a hanger?
I’d love to be able to just roll the BivvyBee into the hangar when I’m done but there just isn’t enough room. To leave it rigged.
Sure! Here in the USA we can just print money and send it out. LMAO! I am very luck to have the hangar I have and it very very cheap. It's one of the main reasons I don't move from here.
Thanks for showing people just how easy and well designed these wings are to rig and de-rig. One hint I would like to share. On the first bolt you removed...the one on the mast... I put the bolt through my seat belt attachment. This way it lessens the chance of forgetting to put it in. Don't ask me how I know this. I can't wait to see how the NINE wing does.
I have come close to forgetting to put that bolt back in before going flying and only spotted it when I do my preflight inspection. Good idea to put the bolt somewhere visible. 👍
Really well edited and clear video, Paul. Has given me a headstart for sure! 😁👍
Cheers Dan. I’ve got to learn it all over again when the Nine wing arrives. Hopefully should be very similar though. 👍
@@paulieb796 Well it's another topless wing isn't it? Presumably the setup is going to be pretty similar as you say. You'll find out one way or another soon anyway. Looking forward to seeing it. 👍😁
Hopefully. The double surface is the main difference so extra under batons and of course those cool wing tips. 👍
@@paulieb796I'd forgotten about those cool tips. I assume they help with stability and tracking (?) but they also make the wing look even more awesome. 👍😎
Hello I have some questions about the Fox 13TL: is the wing soft in the roll? What is its cruising speed? Would you recommend it? Many thanks
Nice, looking forward to the day im doing this but for now happy I know a bit more about Velcro 😂👍
Thanks Andrew. I was thinking of doing an hour long special all about Velcro and it’s many practical applications. If that doesn’t go viral, I don’t know what will. 👍
I really like that telescoping front strut. Wish North Wing would incorporate that feature in their trikes. Unfortunately, it's pretty difficult to get a FlyLight trike here in the US.
It is possible to get Flylight trikes into the USA. I know Flylight and MicroMaintenance both export them overseas. 👍
Aeros, the manufacture of the wing, also makes a trike called the ANT. I own one and there are a number of them in the States...you just have to be willing to wait for a couple of month for delivery. They're located in Ukraine, and even though they have the war going on, they're still able to produce a wonderful product.
I’m importing a Nine into the US. Hasn’t happened yet, though, but hopefully it is relatively easy! There is a US Distributor.
Done like it was sent from the factory 👍
Almost. I still struggle to remember where all the blue packing pads go. I’ve still got some left over and not a clue where they go!
Nice one again Paul 🙂
Thanks. Need the weather to improve so I can get some flying done. 👍
@@paulieb796 so do we all 😀😀
Another great video Paul. Hanger fees - one of the reasons why you fold your wing before you put it in the Hanger is to reduce your hanger fee. I know prices will differ Airport to Airfield, but what difference will there be parking an aircraft rigged or folded. Cheers fella.
Simon, at my airfield, SSDR/sub 70 storage is about half the price of storage for a fully rigged flexwing.
@paulieb796 A nice saving. That will help to keep you hobby affordable.
Well done, thank you for the information video. I Like it.
Glad you liked it!
Thats what I hate about my trike, 35 mins the last time I folded and baged it.
Got an new enclosed trailer and rebuilding my trike. This will allow two things, new trailer will allow not having to bag the wing or even roll it up if I keep trailer at the field and the trike rebuild will allow me to lower my wing staight down vs having to manuever it awkwardly under my front wheel.
Cheers
That’s one of the best things about the Aeros wings and Flylight trikes. It’s so quick to rig & derig. I did initially plan on keeping my trike at home and trailering it to the airfield. That quickly became too much of a hassle! 👍
Great to see how simple it is Paul, would it be suitable to transport by Road like this or best to remove the wing completely?
Hi. It is possible to transport the trike with the wing on and folded back and I’ve seen it done. However it feels very too heavy to me with the wing still on the trike so whenever I transport mine by road, I always have the trike in a trailer and the wing on top of my car. 👍
