    La Moyette's super light weight two place trike is fantastically interesting to me. As I've commented before the overpowered heavy trikes I hated, to the point I thought I'd wasted my money on my Sub 70kg "Nano lite". Finally after the two place training I got in the Nano and found it danced through the sky, the grin couldn't be chiseled of my face.
    A light weight trainer could give potential pilots an experience closer to the Nano they are thinking of owning. Also I'd love to take others up but not in an expensive heavy lump of a full size flex-wing, that's more a Gym workout than a flight... A light weight two place I'd do the training for and buy. Great flight again Giles 😎👍

      Hi Blue good hear from you again. I fully agree that trikes have just become a bit too heavy and the refined feel has gone. As much as we can only teach on the Quantums (206kg base weight), they are as good as it gets for teaching for the lighter end.

    What a great series, and you ended it with a terrific video. I found the interview with Tabor to be very on point. It's true that "...training here in the States is the Achilles' Heal of this sport". To be able to train on a "light" trike will be so helpful, and training is the key. Can you train on these light trikes in the UK? I'm not sure if your rules will allow it. Anyway, this information certainly helps get the word out. Thank you so much.
