The Start
Bevore starting, of course the wing has to be hooked up to the Bullix in the proper way and
layed out corect. The lines of wing need to be in the line retainer and the lines of the wing have
to be tolerably stretched.
The superstition of the idea to start the startrun just on the rear edge oft he wing is wrong and
may cause damage to the wing and trike. The peak demand of such a start may harm the pilot
suspension and the push rods. The horizontally power can not be braced trough the carrying
straps and and a bend pushrod and/or seat bending may occur.
After you took a seat you need to buckle up and pick up the throttle lever in your hand. Then
pick up both brake lines of the wing. Now you can start the engine (warming up the engine
before the start run is a must).
Now you give gas little by little (never use too much swing mentioned above) to get the wing
started. While starting the wing – always check over both shoulders the status of the wing. From
the first moment control the wing and correct it with the brake lines early as possible.
But never pull to much brakes – otherwise the wing will fall or get stuck in a ¾ position and
won´t come up for starting.
If something goes wrong in this procedure just abort the start procedure and start again.
If the wing takes his 12 o´clock position above you and the trike gains speed you might want to
brake the wing overall a little. This braking will hold the wing in position, makes is more stable
and impassibly for overshooting or gusts. Sometimes the view to the wing is more important
than the direction of driving. A few seconds of full throttle and the trike will lift you off the
ground. Depending on the weight, wing size and the front wind the take-off run is about 3-20m
Notice:Adequate space for the starting is self explainable.
Flight:
The flight with trike does not differ much from footlaunching. Through the rubber mounts the
vibrations in flight are even less. In long flights the throttle lever can be adjusted for cruising
speed and stored in the throttle lever holder if the situation allows it.
Landing
The landing with a trike is much easier as a footlaunched landing. The forward speed does not
make a difference. Same as the take off, the landing should be always in the direction of wind.
In generally the take off and landing distance is the same in same conditions.
Notice:The wing only „drops“ down when the trike stops. If you do a landing sideways to the
wind the danger of tipping is given.
The trike is positiv tested up to 2m/s pitching speed, but is unconfortable for the pilot. Flare out
the wing to make a soft touch down. The engine should be switched off after landing latest.
Different procedures are possible and depending of the skills the pilot. If unsure for example,
you might want to turn off the engine in flight to avoid the lines get cought in the propeller.
Sometimes second approach is worth a try.
