Bring a Friend to Trikepilot Social Day!

It's official! We're now "inventing" holidays! ;)

Seriously though, Trikepilot Social is really kicking in the afterburners here with more than 150 members strong and adding an average of five a day. We have a TON of lurkers, with now more than 4500 unique vistors this month and more than 45,000 unique page views!! Won't you please pour some gas on our fire by inviting "one" friend or more to visit and join our site?

Our goal is to become the ONE site on which EVERY trike or microlight pilot from around the world has staked a claim... so that we can FINALLY know where everyone is, what kind of machine they fly, and what if any website they have. Most importantly... so we can all share cool videos, photos, stories, how-to articles, and adventures!

We're stirring up quite a controversy with some of the "old school" bulletin board websites (which shall remain nameless) and have even been (shudder....) MODERATED from at least one of them because we attempted to notify some of its members of our site. Why? Who knows? Since all of our content if FREE and so is theirs, perhaps they just like building a walled garden around their members for fear that they will find a much more fun and interesting experience elsewhere??

I for one am a strong believer that people will reward good content with loyalty. If you "are "enjoying our content, please show us by bringing in a friend or two to crank-up our ranks and start making our MEMBER MAP look like it was shot with a machine gun!

Cheers and Safe Flying!

Video of the Day - Quik 912 Day out to Wales, UK

I wasn't sure if my Quik could take off and land from the beaches around SW Michigan...but now I know!

Um.... what to do when your engine dies, your wing fails, and you have no BRS?

When all else fails... and you are basically "SOL".... then what to do? ... BASE JUMP VIDEO of course!!

Potentially crazy folks who like to fly without an airplane. Makes us trikepilots look like we're actually "sane" individuals ;)

Sabre Trikes - American Made Ultralight and LSA machines

The designer of the Sabre Trike (Richard Helm) was a key member of the ASTM task group in charge of writing the new standard for trikes. He wrote many changes to the original proposed standard.

According to the factory, Sabre Aircraft performs stability testing to higher speeds then required, and strength testing, beyond anything required by this new category. They also claim that any Sabre Wildcat, new or old, can be certified to the Light Sport Aircraft Category, as currently written, without any modification, or further testing.

 Their open-cockpit "Wildcat" starts at $14,995 fully equiped.
