Micrilight Viagra

Postby Harlequin » Mon Sep 10, 2007 2:55 pm

Even Microlights need a helping hand every now and then, A simple jack I made to lift the rear end when out in the bush.
Legs cut to fit pannier bag, simple attachment, you can modify this attachment to suit any make. I keep mine with a spare tube, inflator aerosol, and tools in an old bag permanently on the craft.
Hope this helps.

Hi Graham

Firstly - thanks for sharing your idea with the rest of us! One of the things that attracted me to triking was the willingness of everyone I met to help out and offer advice for nothing in return.

Could you please add so more detail wrt how you would actually operate the jack and secondly how you attach it to the trike?

Thansk and regards

I have one of Grahams Viagra Lifters and it works like a dream. I will make a videoclip of it in action tomorrow, and post it.

We also made a small invention for those that dont like to brake their backs pushing trikes around.

The towbar lite:

Or to make towing easier I have one of these. (not sure if I am hijacking post of I don't add price?) Carries fuel as well, also portable jumpstarter.

No problem John.

I dont personally have some towbar lites around at present - I got my mate GB Avaition to knock a few together when I got tired of pushing trikes around in our hangar.

GB is away at present only back at beginning of November. Will get him to get in touch with you.
