And yet another invention in our guess the gadget issue.




A Very small, yet effective review mirror to strap onto your tryke's profile tube. The mirror you get is the one from Moto Quip at your local Game stores. On the back I used a curtain rail support block that I V'd out to fit the profile tube and then strap it all onto the tube with Velcro.

For the first time you can see your Pax face, specially after seeing the prop doesn’t turn any more.

Hello Mnr. Boekwurm

I'm a bit late on this topic, but will try anyway...!

I've also fitted a Aquilla fairing on my trike. First question was also, do I need clearance from CAA?

So I phoned Andre Swanepoel and he was very clear on this one. You only need approval from CAA when it's a structural change, when you cut/bend etc, and you change the original "structure" of the trike.

So, fitting spats or a fairing is not considered a "structural change" and he had no problem with that!!
