Home Built Radne Trike

[@johnallright6847]

Reminds me of a single seat trike me and brother bought back in the 80s ,it was damaged in a crash and a pretty straight forward rebuild and all associated paperwork with CAA in England and remember all the excitement and anticipation of just the ground test with no wing and then bought a great hand giding wing and married up to trike perfectly and then some lessons and Flying round my local area in a rebuilt machine made me so proud . Unless you have done it with no Aviation experience but just a will to fly is fantastic..... wish I still few but has become cost prohibitive.

[@davelush5424]

So it can be done then... You've answered a long standing question for me as I know they can provide enough thrust, well proven in the foot launched units ...but thought they would struggle in a nonolight..good work...

[@Les__Mack]

I have a nano trike that was flying with a fresh breeze solo 210 18HP engine from PPG. I mounted my Moster 185 which is approx 27hp.

[@FLYNRYAN1978]

Great little trike and nice flight . Keep the videos coming . You do an awesome job !

[@fpvflyby6855]

Love watching your videos. Nice Job on the trike Brian. Love the Hat

[@saulorozco5787]

Wau i love your video I always wanted to learn how to fly. I live flying. Thank you for the video

[@bradbrown2168]

Sell trike plans?

[@scottv3337]

Awesome video thanks for sharing.

[@jrfsailing07]

Hi Brian, Thank you for the video. I would like to build a trike. Would 2" square aluminum tube 1/8" wall 6061 be a good choice on the main frame and mast? Thank you John

[@skycowboyak4549]

Hi John, That's what I use for my mast, but I also sleeve the inside of it with two round aluminum tubes nested together, each roughly 1/16th thick, for extra strength. Here's a recent video of me flying my trike: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKWqi2idoJugi8k

[@bradbrown2168]

I’d be interested in buying plans. I have a homemade ppg trike I want to convert.

[@glbaker5595]

I wonder which one of those are easiest to fly these that he's flying now or the ones would like the the parachute I'm not sure what you call them

[@Thobaymrphuong]

I want to buy a two seater Can you recommend me the unit for sale

[@jrfsailing07]

Hi Brian, How high is the mast? Should I build my own attaching point or buy one? I wasn't sure how to make the nylon bushing. Thank you very much, John

hello friend, I like your lifestyle with a positive aura, greetings from Indonesia

[@louisjohannesroux8980]

Thank you very much for this video....i build myselfe a little trike that got a 15hp Yamaha KT100 cc engine on it with a reduction drive.......now you gave me more encouragement to go an finish the small final touches....and go tested it...if got a bigger Windlass trike also...but would love it to fly the small little one.....also....it might be a little bit more fun.....but it can also be hard work.....im weighting at 48kg....i think this small one will be a pleasure.thanks for your video.love it

[@motiv311]

Is the control setup more intuitive/ easier than say, a traditional Cessna ? Using the bar?

[@skycowboyak4549]

I think so, but both are easy...compared to say a helicopter control system.

[@tonnyvandenbosch8488]

Are there any drawings of this trike, and if so how do I get in touch with Brain Harlan. Thanks in advance TvdB62 Netherlands

[@rubenvor]

Those seem like a lot of fun! Are those wings different than a hang glider?

[@skycowboyak4549]

Pretty much the same as a hang glider wing.

Where can I find the basic plans of a minitrike? Measurments of structure, where to mount the motor, etc etc Thanks :)

[@bradbrown2168]

Did you ever find plans?

[@neosugus]

@@bradbrown2168 Nope. I had to do a deep search and after seeing many types of trikes and reading reviews I came to simple, light, and strong design that I've been flying and its been a total succes ;)

[@Tdotttttt]

Can someone please explain this? What are the wings made of? I mean they look like they are made of the same cloth used in umbrella canopy material. You know what happens during a thunderstorm, the umbrealla collapses. So these guys taking this up to 10000 feet etc, how they hell don't they collapse like a umbrellas collapsing in high wind? I mean even the professionally manufactured ones look very flimsy. Please explain this to me, these things are fascinating, its like we found a loop hole to fly like birds (for some reason the commercial aircraft doesn't have the same effect, as a layman) Why aren't many people using this to go to work and come home?

[@skeetzoid]

The wings are hang gliders, using Dacron sailcloth or mylar on an aluminum frame. The trike that uses the Mosquito engine (Radne Raket 120) has the UP Wing (UP used to make hang gliders, now they only make paragliders). Look up North Wing hang gliders in Chelan Washington to see examples of the wings. The wings have airspeed ratings, so they are tested to withstand up to a certain air speed. The Vne (velocity - never exceed) for a Wills Wing Falcon 4, for example, is 48 mph. Any higher wind than 48 mph and you risk structural failure. If you fly them to and from work, you're going to need a long enough landing field to take off and land.

Nice video , i am really fan of your videos , by the way can a hang glider pilot will be able to fly and control this type of microlight trike ? as the controls looks same :)

[@skycowboyak4549]

Yes, very easy to adapt to trikes having flown hang gliders. Only major difference is you have power...but it is an easy learn. Thanks!

[@patrickmckowen2999]

Nice trike, I had not heard of that engine. I would personally want to have a little more power and not need it than to need it and not have it 😜.

[@skycowboyak4549]

Yep, I hear you. I'm reminded that every aircraft has a mission. This one is designed solely as a soaring trike...just enough Hp to get you up in the thermals. That wing though, is a nice flier (clean and double-surfaced).

[@skycowboyak4549]

@@Rick_Cavallaro hey Rick, you’ll be fine. The control system is almost identical except in Trikes you’re in a sitting position. Crossover skills are nearly seamless. But it would be good to get 5 to 6 hours of dual instruction before your solo. Just because you’ll learn a few specifics to Trikes that are different from non-powered hang gliding. Anyway, as we get older, it sure is nice to be on wheels instead of foot launch, even though I still enjoy the foot lunch part. All the best my man, John.
