Does anyone know if a windlass trike can be retro fitted with a rear suspension like the aquillla, and if so where and by whom?

I guess Solo Wings - Local guys here have done it - The Lobster is one, made it themselves works a treat

I wouldnt touch the rear suspension of the Windlass if I was you , firstly you will be overcapitalising the Windlass , - If you want an Aquilla buy one , Plane have become very affordable lately ,
The other issue to content with is the mod report , " dis n vliegtuig en nie n hotrod nie"
CAA would reguire a mod report , it would be interresting to see the AP who would pass the plane with these type of Mods , the new owner when you want to sell will have the same problem , wheres the entry in the Log book and Did Andre Swanepoel pas and approve the mod
Aquilla are going for R60,000 - second hand , with a 582 just bought one lately , friensd of mine bought one for R65,000 last week .
Tell me if youre in the market for one Leprachaun
