Hello to all, Ive just joined.

[Guest FlashWayne]

Hi guys. Well, I've never been one for forums but I guess it's a good thing to participate and share knowledge and experience.

 

I've been hang-gliding for the past 33 years, had two Easy Riser bi-plane hang-glider/ultralights and built a home-made trike in 1992 which was to say the least, very interesting in the test-flight stages!

 

I finally aquired my trike license in 2007 and just recently purchased a Mainair Gemini 2 Alpha trike. Now all I need to do is turn the work phone off occassionally and have some flying fun.

 

Cheers to all

 

Wayne

Hi Wayne & welcome to the forum.

 

Is yours the one which was recently for sale in Townsville ? Nice to know there are a few still around - my first trike was a F2A with a 462 & I had a lot of adventures flying in the Uk, France & Ireland.

 

Have fun

 

John

Terrific Trikes.

 

Wayne,

 

There`s quite a few trikes around the Cairns NQLD area,I`ve had a fly in a couple,I think they`re a great flying machine,you just need strong forearms however and unfortunately they get weaker as you get older.

 

Cheers,

 

Frank.

Gemini 2 Alpha

 

Hi. This one was for sale in Mareeba. The owner was moving back to Charters Towers and said that after 8:00am out there, the thermals are wicked and not much fun for flying a trike.

 

Yes, I agree, you do need strong forearms and they don't get any stronger as you get older but this will do me for awhile until I can move up to a 3-axis. Preferrably something like a Foxbat. I hear they're great little machines.

 

Cheers
