General Trike buying advice...

Postby topflight » Fri May 20, 2011 2:17 pm

How long will a trike frame last before one would need to replace it? It probably depends on how someone handled their trike, but what if I want to buy a trike without knowing...what is the max hours. Second question...how many hours will a wing last before it needs replacement?

Have a look at any trike's manual, Raptor, Aquilla e.t.c. It will state the life span of all items to change.

Ideally, pay an AP or invite a knowledgeable buddy to accompany you to view and test fly.
