As Demon says it is the clipper and a thing of beauty - Not for sale anymore I don't think - Will leave it up to the new owner to brag about his bird :D

I HAD THE PRIVELAGE OF FLYING IN THE TANARG IN FRANCE TWO MONTHS AGO ITS A FANTASTIC TRIKE FITTED WITH 912 ROTAX MOTOR ITS A BIT EXPENSIVE FOR US RAND BUYERS 32 000 EURO OUCH!!!.

I FLY AN AIR CREATION BUGGY, WILL HAVE TO STAY WITH THAT FOR THE MOMENT, HAVE GOT LITERATURE ON THE TANARG IF ANYONE NEEDS SOME PAMFLETS.

Hi Guy's,

I have one. Great machine. Here in Belgium it's the same price as a Quik or a GT450. Totally different machine. The Quik and GT 450 is definately faster but the Tanarg is stronger build and has a big storage space.
I flew mine over Mont Blanc at 16.000 Ft.
Here are some pics and a litle story:

I would take you for a flight if you would be a bit closer :D

I hanger with midlife, in fact he is one of my two personal mechanics

.
That buggy of him is so fast, he must give us a 10 mile headstart so that we can be at the 5 mile mark at the same time, and then he flies with the bar fully forward all the time. On take off he applies full brakes in order to get the right take off speed. In a circuit he must extend the downwind leg with 7 miles, otherwise he flies into his own wake turbulance.....
All jokes aside , that is indeed a fine piece of equipment and it REALLY is fast!

Whats the vent on the bottom for? Ice cream scoop?

Thats some pretty deep snow

Spoke with a pilot in the US who has a Tanarg, he reckons they going to try break the altitude record next year Feb, going to attempt 44000 ft! Yip one of the canyon runners! He has attended special training to familiarise himself with jet streams etc ...

Hi siasd,

Those pics look more like the Clipper

Tanarg has an entirely different frame and fairing bits.

Hi Siasd,

The pictures are not a Tanarg but indeed a clipper. It belongs to Roland the owner of our airfield EBBY.
The guy next to it is Gerard, my buddy who did the Mont Blanc trip with me. And.......he is sitting on his knees.
Roland his flying a lot in the Alps. He does some landings on the glaciers as well. Tricky business.....
He is organising a "Trike with ski" incentive next March. Don't know if I will put skis on my Tanarg or fly with his clipper. Maybe the Tanarg 912 is too heavy.
Pictures will be on my site.
