Thanks Andre. I have actually been browzing the forum for quite some time now albeit in the background. I have learnt so much and I think I must have read just about every post here. And guess what: I am stuck in Uganda again, probably until Thursday next week. Nic is busy doing some research on getting DizZY up here.

Finally after way to long, my trike arrived today vhpy
It was trailered from Adelaide (South Australia) to me in Mullewa (Western Australia) by a friend of ours. 2896km (**)

It is not the one I have always wanted, but it is just fine for now.
It is a Airborne Edge X 503 with a Wizard wing.

hands off speed 55km/h... 2-up :shock: 30knots approx.

considering something like a flash 2 alpha will do 55mph that is pretty doggone slow really (**)

There is nothing better than that Aquilla II wing.......... The other circus boys( KBP, Skinner - cobras ,porra - raptor) can vouch for that, they can't keep up to "Charlie YV" and there is still reserve left in the wing, can still move 2 holes back ( 10 to 15 mph faster)

Great that you are making your plane personal....Well done :!:
Enjoy and look after it and it will look after you :wink:
Fly safe bud.
