Are there other major changes, not cosmetic, or will you have a Quicker if you fit the wing to the GT 450 ?

No changes to the undercarriage. So if you have a GT450 with a 912S and change just the wing you now have a QuikR.

Long term plans now are to improve the undercarriage and make it more aerodynamic. But this will only happen in a few years.

A couple!! Lets look at baby steps and start with the first one. Going to get the CAA side sorted first.

Sadly everyone compares the price of the GT and QuikR to other trikes. But you just can't anymore.

You almost have to compare it to aircraft in its performance class now. When you do this you find that value for performance, economy and versatility there is virtually nothing as cheap.

Preaching to the converted - I Agreed 100%. Don't want to get into mud slinging match, but if I was in the market I would buy this "aircraft" before I bought a Rattex 3 axis. This range of trikes has bridged the gap between "mickey mouse" play things (which is how many still see trikes) and utility aircraft which can be used for a multitude of applications from fun flying to commercial and or x country machines.

So true George. That is exactly why one of the current GT owners wants the wing as he already uses his GT to travel all over the country on jobs and the new wing will just make it easier and quicker. Plus you can easly fold it up while still on the Trike for an overnight or bad weather.
