TAKING FLIGHT
LAUNCHING THE TRIKE
Place both feet squarely onto the front wheel foot pegs.
During take off control of the trike is achieved via the foot-
steerable front wheel and the glider controls, simultaneously.
Squeeze the throttle and apply power progressively. Avoid
agressive throttle application as this can put excessive
strain on lines and can lead to a failed launch.
As the glider rises up behind the trike, check to ensure the
glider is inflating symmetrically. Control the glider actively
with the brake lines and if necessary steer the trike to the side and
drive under the canopy. Prevent the glider from over shooting by
applying both brake when needed.
Once the glider is overhead you can reduce the power
slightly and ensure the glider is centred and stable above
the trike before committing to the take-off. Continue to apply the
throttle progressively until you reach maximum power. After a
few seconds, with full throttle applied, the trike will take-off.
CAUTION: We recommend that you do not start your
engine until you sat comfortably in the pilot seat, helmet
on and have carried out a check of the 6 connection
points: 2 x leg straps, 1 x waist strap, 2 x karabiners, 1 x
helmet strap.
Check your immediate area, making sure your chosen
trajectory is clear of people and other obstacles. Ensure
ample space, clear of people, is available to the rear of trike and
glider.
Shout ‘Clear Prop’ in a loud and clear voice. Start the engine
using the pull-start handle or by pressing the start button if
using an electric starter. Do not depress the throttle and rev the
engine as prop wash can disrupt glider layout, leading to a failed
launch.
Locate the A-risers and brake lines, and place into your
hands ready for launch.
