Sorry to hear about your crash Coastwise, but very glad you and Larry survived.

Get well soon and don't give up flying

Sorry to hear about the oops.

Good thing the Instructor was onboard else the outcome could have been a lot worse.

Strongs and get well soon.

Hi guys
Don't intend to let this mishap dampen the spirits, not being able to fly is the problem. Withdrawal symptoms :( :( .
I have always wanted to fly, just could never afford it until now in my late forties.
Right hand and wrist feel like they have a beat of their own with the constant throbbing.
Damage to trike:
New root tube, gooseneck, front wheel, pylon and need to repair the glass fibre pod. Also new wing needed. :( :( :(
If I don't post progress too often please forgive!! The most useless part of the body must be the left hand if you are right handed. :evil: :evil:

Could have been worse.

Could've done both arms and have to ask someone to wipe your arse. Good luck
