Thank you so much bro, wish you the best , enjoy flying your so beautiful trike ,

This is bad ass. I particularly like the seat. Amazing work.

[@alfred.g7521]

Seat is obviously a gaming chair and very comfy. Thanks!!

[@tomcoryell]

Looks to be solidly built.

Hey Thanks Steven. Love the Stelvio in Blue. Now go build a trike !!

[@MasboyRC]

This is so nice, looks so simple but sturdy. Love it 👍

[@alfred.g7521]

Very true indeed. This design just proves that this type of aircraft need not be complicated to build. The design was the most difficult part. 4 flying instructors have commented how well built it is.

Show, lindo o mini, + vc deveria ter falado sobre o trike

[@nanotriker]

Hi Alfredo. Your trike being light and simple (few parts) looks strong and very well thought trough - one of the best nano-trikes I have seen so far if one goes for a 'keep-it-relatively-simple' concept. Excellent ! (Seems like you could be a professional mechanic or mechanical engineer ?) By the way could you tell me the colour code of the fine green paint you have used (e.g. RAL code or car paint code) ? One small feed-back: Suggest you don't use paper based fuel filter but Nylon (PA6 or PA66) based filter (size: 100 micron = 0.1mm = 'Mesh 140') - pluss a separate extra filter in the tank of size 0.3 mm. Most two stoke manufacturers warn against using paper based fuel filters (especially if you use car gasoline (E5) which now adays contain up to 5% alcohol = ethanol). I can see that the THOR 130 EVO Maintenance Manuals maintenance schedule does not mention cleaning or replacement of the fuel oil filter - which is very strange as Polini are very experienced and skilled engine manufactureres. (Also cleaning of the carburettor at certain intervals is not mentioned either). Otherwise you will sooner or later experience engine out during flight - which is not very nice ;-) Also it is good practice to let the fuel line run downwards all the way from the carburettor down to the fuel tank (no high points/bends where water or fuel wapor can be trapped).

[@alfred.g7521]

Thanks for your inputs. The video was taken from an early stage of engine replacement hence the temporary filter and fuel line placements. Tank filter was always there as well. Have done a few modifications since including changing to a foot throttle rather than hand operated one. Building the trikes was fairly straight forward . Design was the most difficult bit. Always great to get feedback so appreciate your comment. Will look into the colour. Was done some time ago.

[@ashishkashmira8271]

And I hope if we will start this project we will get land for free from the government of India and other state government. I have a detailed plan, please pay for attention for 5 minutes, your models are really best.

I see this video was posted a while back. Are there plans available? I love the look of the frame. It looks very solid yet simple in design. Thanks in advance!

[@alfred.g7521]

Plans were drawn on the floor to get geometry. And it is very simple as I doesn't need to be complicated and to keep it under the 70kg category. Alloy and bolts are all aircraft grade.

I made a trike for my ppg. If I send you pics of it. Could you look at it and see if there’s a way to convert it to a Sub 70? Light but solid construction.

[@alfred.g7521]

In my opinion there would be too much to change to make it a viable proposition, although I have seen a trike base which is suitable for both trike wing and PPG. Geometry is the factor to consider when building a base as Rake angles differ from wings .

[@omar1990seattle]

How much are does engines? It's interesting I want one of does trikes. It looks like a lot of fun

[@patrickmckowen2999]

Excellent build -- as Jim Carrey would say "B.E.A.utiful". Very nicely done -- that tiny fuel mirror is a nice cheep hands free visual fuel gauge. The slant you put on the front wheel is another good build feature to help the wheel self track straight but I was also thinking of adding a spring as well. The Triangular cable bracing for the rear wheel struts is something to look at for me, I have already purchased some fiberglass struts for a a PPG Trike I was going to build and was thinking of adding some cables for that. I have my PPG motor - PAP125 so a wing like the size of your 190 is going to be need for better lift. In fact Im now think of build a trike that will accountable both wings if I decide not to sell my PPG wing. I had to look up "VG" - variable glide system -- cant seem to find any vids on how that works -- Have you tried it?? Cheers

[@alfred.g7521]

Variable geometry. Pulls back the crossbar and stiffens the wing giving you better performance at the the cost of reduced handling. Have used it a few times but only in ideal conditions. I believe there is a ppg / nanolight trike frame out there but haven't come across one myself. Would be more than interested to see what you can come up with if you pursue it. The mirror is very useful and have borrowed the idea from ppg . Both trikes fold up for transport where engine and seat are removed in minutes. I always fly with my son so we have an 8x6 trailer that is ample to carry both.
