John Raison

Hi all at present i'm flying an xt912 trike been into trikes for 10 or so years but am ready for the comfort of a cabin and a joystick. Will definately be going for the 6 ,I flew with John in his 4cyl. but the added performance ofthe 6 is well worth the extra Cheers John

After a long 7 hour drive from QLD. i finally got to meet the man behind the plane,Gary made us feel very welcome and gave us a great tour around the workshop/hanger and the works in progress and showing us all the parts that make up this great aircraft, also answering all our questions and then some. finally it was time to test fly the seirra and everything i've read is true Great preformance and supperb visability and after Gary put it througt it's paces it just confirmed it's great handeling. Then after anouther long drive home I had to break the bad news to the wife that YES I am going to place an order for a seirra kit later this year. If the Seirra is on your list take the time to go and visit Gary you won't be dissapointed John

Hi all does anyone know of anyone building a Thatchercx4 I know there are 7 sets of plans in Australia Cheers John

tire pressure Hi all ,Glen is right about slamming on the brakes,you have to be carefull ,lucky for me my home strip is very long and i dont need to use much brake,if i,m not flying near the beach ie. inland i pump up the front tyre only takes a few seconds with a good bike pump Cheers and safe flying John

beachlanding g.day Bluey , I fly an xt912 classic and do a lot of flying over beaches on the gold coast ,we do a lot of beach landings and because of that i run only 7-8 lb of air in the front yyre [recommend is 15] our home strip is crusher dust so slightly lower pressure seems ok,The main trick is try to hold the front wheel up as long as you can ,in other words dont land heavy,also try to land in the hard sand,I often carry old golf balls and drop them from 50ft to see how hard the sand is,if landing in the wet hard sand watch out for incomming waves they can be sneeky and catch you out:thumb_up: Cheers and safe flying John:
