Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Re: 800 foot RC field flying

Hi Joe,
I started flying trikes in 2001. Went to get private lessons in a Cessna but somehow saw two trikes landing and took an introductory flight on Dec 8 cool evening and the rest is history. Tried flying a 152 later but it bored the crap out of me after flying trikes. It seemed to me like I was not flying ... the machine was flying. That's what is exciting about trikes.
There are positives and negatives to trike flying of course just like everything else but just for the pure fun or recreational value, I will have a hard time taking an airplane over trikes. May be aerobatics with proper training in a Christian Eagle or something but other than that ...
That trike you saw in the video is a high performance state of the art trike.
As for storage (folding) watch the video at our wings page called Reflex 11 folded in less than 8 minutes

Trikes are available as S-LSA as well as E-LSA. Not many trikes are available as 51% Exp-AB.
If you can get an introductory flight in a nice modern trike, don't miss the chance.

I remember in the 80's when the ultralights had weight shift designs but thought everything went to "conventional" controls. From watching the video it appears they are stable yet agile and have a fairly wide speed range. I guess with less overall moving parts they are simpler (lighter?) to build/repair and take down and with less moving parts more reliable but again I am just guessing? Are they experimental or light sport?
