That’s awesome! Thanks for watching!

You’re welcome! So glad you enjoy our videos. 💜

Wings are actually designed with a purpose in mind. I have flown about 9 different types of wings. Some are designed to fly a bit faster, some slower, some with quicker control responses. Some are better in the wind but often there is some kind of trade off. For example you might have a wing that is has quicker control inputs but may not carry as much weight. So when thinking about wings you have to ask yourself what your particular mission will be. Double surface wings are faster speed but don't land in as short a distance and usually take a bit longer to put together. My particular mission is exploring, filming, sightseeing. I stay up often 2.5 to 3 hours or more at a time. My wing likes to fly about 60 miles an hour with the way I currently have it set up. I fly low and high and my wing does what I want it to do. If you want to know more about wings, I would call Kamron at North Wing or Larry Mednick with Evolution trikes. Kamron makes the wings and could tell you a bunch of info. I have a double surface, Rival X 14 meter wing. No wing does it all. Some are better at your particular desires than others. A ballistic parachute while flying over trees or mountains is the best insurance for an engine out or catastrophic wing failure. Thanks for your questions!

I appreciate all of what you've shared here & in all honesty I can not tell you what I'm even looking for in a wing because I've never flown ANY aircraft except for commercial travel. That said, as I lean to the Part 103 aircraft I see all of these different wings & I'm overwhelmed with data - an info-overload of sorts. And so far I'm just worried about buying any used aircraft for reasons that different wing materials become degraded over time & use. To be fair to anyone trying to respond to me, I think a wing in the middle ; a best for control, for structural longevity, and quality. I'm really like a blind person right now & I do thank you for even trying to field my question. Something in me wants a wing that can glide well just in case you lose power, something strong enough to not fold up on you if a hard wind hits you, and in the beginning something I can handle/maintain(fold up for transport)...... If I can find an entry spot & use that for a year then I'll better know what I think I'll want but for now ; ability to glide & to withstand medium strength winds and ease in handling the breakdown for travel or maintenance. I should have known my question was too vague for any real answer I telling me they are designed w/ a purpose in mind was a very kind way to phrase it. Thanks for being so kind, I really did not realize just how wide open of a question that I'd asked - not fair of me to ask but it just goes to show how uneducated I am here, but you & a few others have been kind enough to get me pointed. TY peace

It is great you are asking the questions prior to jumping into things. I personally like to make no move rather than a bad move. So a great approach to starting on your journey is just talking to, (typing) to as many people that you can and ask varied questions. Start by doing exactly what you're doing. Watch videos of the types of flying that interest you and see what those kinds of people fly. Along that path you develop ideas on just what you're looking for. I didn't not like flying Cessnas but the visibility is so poor in those kinds of aircraft. Prior to becoming a private pilot I also flew hang gliders and also Ultralights under part 103. I really loved the open cockpits better and so does Diane. So I wanted an open aircraft and also wanted something I could transport. I also wanted a two seater. After flying in trikes I really enjoyed the type of flying it offered. Nothing is perfect so get to know what you want and don't want. Much of my flying is over stuff that it doesn't matter how far I can glide I wouldn't make to a landable area. So for me a parachute is a necessary tool to increase my flying areas. The another thing to consider is how high you fly. If you're flying low it won't matter if you can glide very far or have a parachute if you have an engine out you will be coming to the earth rather quickly. So narrowing down your thoughts will be a process and I highly encourage to make even that process fun. Go to airshows, go hangout at airports, watch the vides and keep doing what you're doing. So good job on asking the questions! Find someone to do a discovery flight with also.

Thanks, you know exactly where I'm at right now. Without money to be wasting any I also know to Pay an Expert to look at any used aircraft. You mentioned not like the view from the Cessnas & I agree. I found a type of Pt103 that I kinda like ; Falcon..... small pusher configuration but the aircraft uses a "canard" wing. The Cozy / LongEZ's are the ones I liked for view out of the aircraft & I like the canard's ability to make a stall less likely. Like a hiccup it starts, bobs up, and then rights itself. There's a lot more going on & I oversimplified this but those aircraft got me to the Part 103 Falcon. You & Diane fly safe & you never know ~ I might fly into Oshkosh next year. LoL, maybe? Thanks & have a safe New Years

Hey, Thanks for saying hello. I would have loved to flown out to the camp spot and flown over and wave from the air. I love it out there. So much history in that area. Where are you both going next?

No but we have parachutes that deploy with rockets!

Thanks!

14 meter wing

So wonderful to read your comment and your appreciation of our videos. Thank you so very much!! 💜

Thanks. I didn’t know which movie till now. It is called Cancion Del Mariachi ...from the Movie Desperado with Antonio Banderas. Now I want to watch that movie. Think I saw it years ago.

Or at least there is a music video to it from the movie Desperado. Lol

Hi Glynn. Great to hear from you. Thank you for your comment and concern. While I agree it would be quicker to deploy the parachute with the pin already pulled, I have mentally practiced pulling the pin and then the deployment handle. I have a fear that someone could accidentally pull the handle or catch the handle with clothing and I fear that I would forget to replace the pin prior to exiting the aircraft. I realize this is highly unlikely. In special circumstances we have pulled the pins especially when flying high over trees and rocky terrain where we know there is no chance for a landing. We have our pins tethered for this reason. Of course time is a factor when considering pulling the parachute. So I do understand why it may be beneficial to always have the pin pulled while flying. The amount of time available to deploy a parachute depends on the type of failure, malfunction and altitude available. My fears of the parachute getting pulled accidentally may be unfounded. I have never pulled the handle and I think I read it takes 30lbs to pull it. What adds to my fears is that someone had deployed my parachute on my Quick Silver Sport while it was unattended. I love these types of discussions cuz it makes me think …so thanks for bringing it up.

If something happens to you, your passenger would not be able to pull the pin. It would be hard enough to reach the handle. Heart attacks, embolisms, seizures all happen fast. My friend Bill Finn died in air while flying. He never pulled his chute. It happened so fast.

Time is key to have enough altitude for the chute to open. Fumbling with a pin could cost you a 1000’ or more very quickly. Some debate even turning off the engine first before you deploy your chute. That extra step might cost you the height you need for the chute to open. Let alone having to pull a small safety pin. I rather have an accidental deployment on the ground than missing my opportunity to have a deployment in the air.

@@trikeusa Wow! Had no idea! That sounds fun! Did you get to fly from the island?

@@Therapy1044 The best therapy!

😊

@@Jozinko101 So true!

That’s right! Great to hear from you! Thanks so much too! Do you still have the bug? 😊

Yes seems a lot of trike pilots go gyro. Maybe someday. We are both comfortable with the turbulence now and you can’t beat the silky soaring during smooth air. I would (me Diane) love to have both…and a Cub too! 😊

Thank you so much!

Thank you. Wes impacted so many of us. So glad to hear you got to fly with him too.

That bug will get you!

Glad to hear that! We are one of your subscribers!

@@larsonadventures580 thank you . I love sharing my adventures as I know y’all do . Maybe one day I’ll take the time to learn how to edit better videos like you.

That's amazing you fly almost every day. We probably would if our airport wasn't 45 minutes away. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!

I’m sorry but I do not understand the question. If you write it in your own language I can have Google translate it.

Hello Indonesian friends

Hello to Indonesians. Please write in your native language and I will have google translate for us. Not able to understand your question.

Thanks! My zoom camera is the Sony AX53. Is amazing! I often add additional stabilization in post editing and sometimes additional cropping and Ken Burns effect.

@@larsonadventures580 Thanks so much for the tip!

Thanks

Thank you!

That’s awesome! We loved flying there and Joe is a great guy! Where will you be flying out of and what will you be flying?

I live in Boulder City NV and will be flying out of Havasu for now. I look forward to meeting you. thanks again for your great videos

Awesome!

A solução é minitrike com motor Honda 250.

Many different prices. What country are you from?

Hopefully you can find a way. Thanks for your comment. What country are you from?

@@rogerlarson8040 he's from Brazil.

Thank you so much. We are very blessed. What state do you live in?

Thank you.

Thank you so much!

That is so exciting! Congratulations! What will you be flying? I see you are in Arizona?

@@larsonadventures580 I have my eyes on a skycycle. I'm just trying to learn before it sells, otherwise whatever comes my way when it's time. I'll be learning from my hang gliding instructor at AK Chin. The same place I'm always at in the winter anyway. It gets too cold up here in Flagstaff.

Wooow ! Me too ! 😀

Im from the Czech republic and in November the theoretical part of my training will start. The practical part will be in the spring. It will be on Tanarg, from Air Creation.

@@spagetka75 where at? I'll be in AZ.

Congratulations!!!! Thanks for the excitement of watching and sharing!!

We have speed trim and you can get roll trim which we do not have. Not much arm strength except sometimes in strong crosswind landings.

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much!
