Dont know if there is a thread like this already? please direct me to it if there is.
What to look out for when going to inspect the trike?
Take along a expert?
Any tips etc?
Im going to look at a Windlass trike in the near future? Any specifics to look out for , for that trike?
This will be the first trike that I buy and I hope to learn to fly on it all be it only a few hours .
Thanks

Tracer is a bit dodgy, rather take your gardener.
Joking, you should in good hands.
Cheers,

Unfortunatly I dont have any friends or even people i know that knows anything about trikes.
When I tell my friends that I want to start flying microlights they ask : Thats that thing with the wing and the motor ?

Take someone that knows the complete "rietmarole" at the CAA. That person will definitely know what to tell you about buying trikes.

Yip, went through all that when I bought my Windlass

, but cause of good advise and having all that I need in order, no problem with registering the trike

Take along one of the instructor you are going to train through or have trained through.
