Today was slightly different for me. I started flying and went straight into a cheetah, never really had the chance or prove ledge to fly in a trike before that. Anyways I took off at FASI runway 03 and was left downwind when Echo alpha papa was rolling on 03 - ol Johan suggested we fly together to Aston lake and do a touch and go at a nearby runway, I agreed and we flew together - we were flying at 70mph which impressed me about the Aquilla 582. My cheetah flew nicely at this speed and we slowed to around 55mpg for some time, we flew close proximity to one another and overall was lekker!!
Anyways long story short, we landed, and there was enough sunlight for a quick intro flip in the Aquilla, so Johan strapped me in and we took off on 03 again and I was nothing short of IMPRESSED!!!! Not from a mind blowing "look how fast this thing is"kind of way, but the flying sensation itself and the view, freedom, and ability to fly slow and ultra low to the ground was all part and parcel of a great experience, and needless to say a frikkin expensive one, as now I'm considering a trike for my collection!!
Hopefully in time for summer!
I envy you trike pilots!!
