Hi Bad Nav,

Checked that out as well - those cables are good enough to stop a F16 - so I guess for a Trike it would be disastrous ! **

Would have loved to see the flare on the launching ramp.... :shock:

My goodness... this one is much better than the one wing Edge 540 and might I add, MORE CREDIBLE! :lol:

vhpy Hey Eagle, I didn't know it was you flying past. I was actually having tea with the captain on the bridge. You would not have seen my trike on deck, because it was downstairs where they were cleaning my air filters and replacing my sparkplugs ! Nice bunch those okes ! (!!)
