Hey Roger and Diane...I liked how you showed the flight instruments, and the great views again. Thanks for sharing another beautiful video!
Thanks Evelyn! Great to hear that.
Yet again, you both did a great job with your video! Great content and very interesting. Can't wait to see what comes next!
Thanks so much Larry! Hope we see you in the air soon!
Amazing Roger! Those views are breathtaking! I sent this video to Spangel…
Thanks Dune. I will be sure Roger sees your comment
What an awesome vid! To many more adventures, videos, and safe flights.
Thank you
I just saw this today. You are the King and Queen of trike video. Great editing!! Music and voice and all encouraging commentary. So happy to be a small part of your experience. Love you both.
Thanks Wes! King and Queen... LOL..Wow! Thanks!!! You have been a huge part of my experience as my flight instructor (when I wasn't too afraid to fly), and your "little sermon" helps me to this day in calming my nerves. Flying so close to the clouds and in the dark are burned in my mind forever. I can't thank you enough!
@@larsonadventures580 This is great bird to own, What's the fuel economy are you getting at 60MPH please?.
@@jacmwo9865 A little less than 4 gallons per hour. Sorry about the delay...
@@larsonadventures580Thank you for the response 😊
You guys are amazing! A BIG applause to Evolution Trikes! I am just a "spectator" from your channel and Evolution Trikes....my future dream...for retirement...for sure!
Oh cool! Hope to see you up in the air with us someday! Thanks!
Thanks a bunch for your videos and feedback... For some reason after flying everything from fixed to rotary (not auto gyros), PPC/PPG, this is just now looking like a heaven to me.. I think I've always been hesitant simply due to hangliding, which I haven't ever done watching a friend die doing it when I was young... Thanks to your video and a few others, I'm seriously going to look into this and leave my late 70's bias behind..
Thank you. So happy to hear that.
Roger would be happy to talk with you if you ever have any questions. It truly is the most amazing experience.
Great video. Thru you we all get to experience the thrill of flight .
That means so much. We sure try. Thank you
Great review! I’m in Florida right now getting some refresher training! It’s awesome you guys have been able to get so much time on the Revolt! Unfortunately I’ve barely gotten just under 70 hrs on mine so far. (Hence the refresher)
That’s awesome you are in Florida getting refresher training! Great place to fly in the thermals! Hope you have a great time and get to fly more this summer. Thanks for you comment.
Great accomplishment. At 123.5 now. Finding time and weather. I cannot handle thermals and bumps well. Still have to see more of your videos though. Keep it up.
Thanks so much! I may have asked before …where do you fly out of? Maybe we will do a video on thermals and turbulence at some point.
Thanks for doing this video and all of your others. I am strongly considering a Revolt and live in Chandler, so its nice to see all the places I can visit in the area. Flying GA around the Class Bravo has been more work than reward, but you make flying in AZ look so fun. Now I just have to convince my wife to fly with me.
That’s awesome! We have so many other places to show if I can get around to editing them all. Be sure to let us know if you get a Revolt. Happy to talk to your wife too. We have been to Chandler for breakfast three times. Hope to see you and your wife in the air sometime
Great to see another video. Congrats on your first 500 hours and enjoy the next 500 as much! Ilook forward to the next video.
Thanks Frankie! When are you getting your Revolt?
@@larsonadventures580 I'm in Virginia and looking for a house in South Carolina. I have to do that first. Keep posting, I really look forward to seeing you two having so much fun!
@@frankies519 Sorry to hear you left Arizona. At least you are closer to Florida then. We will try to keep making videos.
Love watching your videos, Saving up for one someday.
Great video, we love it here in PA
Wonderful! Hello PA!
Thanks for sharing this video.
Thanks for joining us!
Love your videos, especially liked the one where u share all your personal add-ons to the trike. I’m hoping one day you could do a cost of ownership vid Ins, fuel, Mtc etc.
Fly safe, and keep up the great vids!!
Thank Nick! Glad you love the videos! Will keep your cost of ownership video in mind. So far we haven't kept that close track..but great idea!
I love all your videos.. it makes me dream a lot!
Thank you so much! So glad you like them.
You are great, congratulations, I'm Brazilian and I love trikes, I love flying!
Thank you very much!
Beautiful place to flight. Great video and I like your machine. Love it. Blessings
It sure is. We are so blessed. Thank you so much!
You are fortunate to have a wife that enjoys flying the same or more than you do ;). Lovely video and congrats on the 500. Nothing comes close to trikes on a nice calm day. Feel the wind, feel the wing. Live the dream. Awesome.
Thank you so much. We are so blessed. You must have a trike too or at least know the feel?
@@larsonadventures580 In my first year of my license I did 300 hours in 6 months...I'm addicted to it or was. Wrote my trike off sadly in a dam (not a scratch on me, definitely a guardian angel), now just waiting for something to catch my eye. The Revolt ticks many boxes for me. I might try order it without the engine as I have a 912S from my accident that we rebuilt and tested.
@@df3yt Oh wow.. sorry about losing your trike. How amazing you had your guardian angels save you!! So happy you are alive! Would love to hear the story sometime. Glad we could share with you how much we love the Revolt. Hope you get back in the sky soon!!
@@df3yt .... and 300 hours in 6 months!! wow!! Sounds like a record to me! Let us know when you get a trike.
That looks like so much fun
It is amazingly fun!
Great vid 👍
Thanks!
Big Fun !
It’s amazing!
This is fabulous.
Thank you so much!
I absolutely love your videos I really do I just wish I could come over to the USA and fly with you - fantastic and awesome!!
So happy to hear. Thank you! Where are you located ?
@@larsonadventures580 Unfortunately in the UK!!
@@flybe146 Well then we will just have to virtually fly together.
Great video.
Thank you
Wonderful
Thank you
Nice run..
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Filmato favoloso.... Amazing clip..... Kiss from Italy ❤
More videos please!
Thanks. I need to find more time. 😊
Wow!!!
Way cool!
Come and fly with us Leo!
@@larsonadventures580 I will make it happen, it's a promise! : D
Beautiful scenery. The Revolt looks like a lot of fun to fly. I was a bit shocked to learn that the base price is almost $70,000.
Yes. Like the Lexus of trikes.
Awesome
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
Bravo ! Larson 👏 i wich one day can fly as you 👍
Thank you. Hope you can fly too.
Wonderful 😊😊😊😊
Thanks Atta
I'm from the Uk so obviously im a P&M man. I have to admit Larry makes some high quality trikes, shame they are as expensive as they are. I would like to see them in the UK too.
I have watched many videos of pilots flying the P&M. The one of theme flying across the channel comes to mind. I have flown 5 different types of trikes and different wings. I know what you mean about cheaper. I wish everything was cheaper! Thanks for comment.
Loved your video of your flying adventures!! This is the kind of flying that I’m very interested in. How would you suggest I start out down this path ? I’d be happy doing solo 103 flying to start out with but absolutely would want training. I’m based in northern CA. Thx. Smooth air….
So great question. Since I don't know any of your flying history I'll answer this as if you have no flying history. The first thing recommend is for someone to make sure they can fly. This might sound funny but actually some people have problems with flying and the only way you know is to fly. So the first step is finding someone to fly with in the types of aircraft you're interested in. I fly trikes because of the amazing visibility, fun of it and the adventure it always gives. So finding someone to fly with can be as simple as finding out if someone at your local airport flies what you're looking into and talking with them. The best way though is to locate a Certified Flight instructor (CFI) and do an introductory flight and or actual flight instruction. Narrowing down if you want to fly trikes or 3axis aircraft is really flying in the different aircraft to see what you like the best.
Watch as many videos as you can on the types of aircraft your interested it.
Go to Oshkosh air show if you can. You will get to meet people that fly and produce these types of aircraft and other types. When I go there I stay 90 percent of the time in the light aircraft section cause it's just so much fun and way more affordable to do this type of flying.
If you google Larry Mednick Evolution trikes and call him he can give you a load of information about trikes. He manufactures my trike and other types. I have also given him permission to give out my number and so if you want to call me I'll be happy to give you inspiration! Cause I love flying. You will have to leave a message or text my number telling me your calling. I get so many spam calls that I started doing that.

AGAIN AGAIN AGAIN!!! MORE MORE MORE!!!
Yes yes!
Fico muito feliz por ser inscrito em seu fantástico canal, gostaria muito de ir conhece Los pessoalmente, muito obrigado a todos vocês,conte comigo aqui no Brazil, breve quero comprar um equipamento seu.saudacoes.andre marques.
Thank you.
Flying over the Mojave...I recognize that patch o dirt anywhere....lol
Ooops.....my bad...lol....az. for sure.....no love lost...either or im easy!! lol
We were in Cali for a few minutes…lol..Hey thanks for watching!
how does your Aviation app work on your iPad when you don't have cell service... You guys are amazing.... CAVU
Thanks! Generally we do have cell service. We use Verizon. Even in remote areas in the air we seem to get it. When we don't have cell service we still can use the app because the maps are downloaded onto the ipad prior to flying. The signal that allows us to track ourselves is completely GPS. Hope this answered your question. If you have anymore let us know.
Thank you…if I ever purchase a Revolt…I’ll definitely would get a IPad 4G. Hope to meet you some day…. And keep up the great videos…and beautiful sound tracks….
Bill
@@Hacksaw2055 Thank Bill.. Hope to fly with you someday.
I fly a PPC currently, how fast is your average air speed? Seems much faster than my machine.
Can’t do much cross country at only 35 to 40 mph. Either hitting ground turbulence in a morning flight as things heat up, or run out of daylight on evening flights. 😞
The movie fly away home, increased my interest in the trike.
We were averaging 60 mph with a range of 55-70...but we did a new wing modification recently that is giving us a greater speed range. Now we average 70mph with a range of 55-85mph.
I wanted to do that 50 years ago, when the hobby just got started. Now, I'm way to old.
Well hopefully watching our videos will make you feel like your flying with us and a lot less maintenance. :)
@windgrove, why too old? My dad was flying missions when he was 70 & kept flying after as well. He was a legend, and everyone wanted to fly with him. As long as you’re mentally sharp, go for it!! It’s not too late! 😀
You’re never to old bro 😎
What is the belong to flying club? Have Autre lights there and trikes I’ve been in one of those lot of fun open carpet kind of reminds me of paragliding I prefer paragliding, same feeling without the motor.😂😂😂
Not I understand your question. Paragliding would be fun too. Have not tried it as of yet
Bravo😋🙂
Thank you
Hello Roger, I am buying a trike and am wondering if you fly with a single surface or double surface wing, and what was your deciding factor on it?
Hi Scott. Great that you are buying a trike and great question. So we fly with a double surface wing. The advantages of a double surface wing are speed and fuel per distance economy. The advantage of the single surface wing is that you can take them down for transport quicker. The single surface wing flies slower and can land in a shorter distance. One question you might want to ask yourself is who will you be flying with? If you fly with people that have double surface wings, you would be sorry you had a single surface wing. You would not be able to keep up with them. We typically fly longer distances per flight. If we fly to a destination that is 100 miles away and want to get back that becomes a 200 mile flight. So ask yourself what your mission is? Do you want to travel longer distances? Will you be constantly transporting and just fly a closer area? I haven't ever. heard of anyone buying a double surface wing and being sorry. I have talked with people that have single surface wings and wish they had a double surface wing. Also, it is possible to have both types as your mission changes back and forth. We do love our double surface wing. It is the Rival x 14 meter. Remember that it is the wing that determines your speed of your trike and not so much the motor. If you want to fly with us, get a double surface wing for sure! :)
@@larsonadventures580 Thank you for your input. When I was hang gliding the double surface was the way to go but I wasn't sure about the trike. I was thinking the shorter take off and landing of the single surface would be better for remote places, but like you said it definitely would be better to get somewhere quicker. I can't imagine getting on my motorcycle and riding 45mph to get somewhere.
Thanks again Roger.
After seeing the rr Bridge in wick, you just flu over my home on the Ranta airstrip.
That’s so cool! We fly near you quite often then. Do you have an aircraft there now?
Love Ranta Strip. There are some mines near you we have been wanting to go to in our Jeep. Also do you know who built that Oasis near there? He put a lot of money into it.
@@larsonadventures580 we have sold the last plane but it sure looks interesting just watching you all.
@@rogerlarson8040 two palm oasis in the hood. One by the Ranta strip and the other on the hill top to the north. Its owned by the local water well driller.
I dunno…. I still like my ppg trike lol. Tho I’m envious of your 60mph… I only do 30 lol
Ya it’s all fun. We thought about having a PPG too…and a Carbon Cub. Lol
@@larsonadventures580 a carbon cub would be a hoot out your way!
Impressive !!! ThANX 😵🤯🥴
Engine cc ?
1352 cc
can you imagine landing on a 1400mph rotating earth!.... thank God earth is flat and stationary! I just want to fly on a trike one day! that's definitely one of my biggest dream!
Yes.. and hope you get to fly someday!
Are you serious?
the earth is flat no matter how high you go... the earth is stationnary no matter how high or how fast you go... topopgraphic measurements show you a flat earth... globe earth is only on TV, not real life.
@@brotherlevis8553 you would need to start your sentence by “I believe”. We obviously don’t live in the same world 😄
topographic measurements arent based on beliefs, but actual measurements used for real life purposes, if they were wrong, then every infrastructure on earth would be wrong as well. railways do not curve around an imaginary ball... neither do canals, powerlines, roads or oceans for that matter... water lays FLAT 100% of the time, oceans depths are measured with straight lines, not curves.. planes do not account for curvature when flying, much less rotation... imagine you try flying north south when the earth would be going 1400 km per hour east to west.... the very notion is totally insane. I dont believe the earth is flat... I know it is... you probably have a hard time grasping the concept, because you keep picturing a "solar system" in outer space in your mind... I understand its a hard pill to swallow, but there is no such thing as "outer space"... no one has ever gone higher than what they call "low earth orbit", there's a barrier no one can cross, look up "operation fish bowl" and NASA is nothing but a hollywood production, they are not going anyhwere. it surprises me that still in 2023 someone wouldnt have heard of Flat Earth yet... but I guess the elite does a great job at hiding it as much as possible because it exposes all their lies and their agendas on saving the planet to push their new world order... the sun, moon and stars are very close to earth and simply go in circle around it.. the true map of the world is the Azimuthal Equidistant map, which is the actual logo of the U.N. All images you have ever seen of earth from space is nothing but a painting or a made CGI cartoon... if you think your world is a ball, then try finding a single proof of it, and of course, if you are being honest with yourself, you will discard any "arguments" provided as "proofs" but will have an objective mind on what constitutes a real proof, like actual measurements of earth and not "ideas" like "ships sail over the curve" or "planets are spherical then why earth wouldnt be"... cause these things have an explanation and do not constitute proofs of earths shape in any way... they are strawman arguments used by those who simply wish to remain blind as if the earths shape was an actual religious belief they hold dear to their heart.
Nice video. Do u really need a pilot license to ride this
I had replied a few days ago but do not see my reply here. You do need at least a Sport pilot license to fly a two seater here in the U.S. A single seat trike that falls under Part 103, you do not need one
30,000 miles = 1.25 laps of the Globe
Wow that’s cool. We didn’t think about it like that! Thanks!
Вот там сзади места много
There is so much space. Wonderful!
Im not english...i am pershian
You are flying like a bird will you tell me that any accident report accident of revo glider.
Not sure what you mean? Are you asking about accidents involving Revo trikes? I don't know of a Revo glider. I know of Revo light sport trikes.
For what it is, it seems way over priced....two seats, a rotax, a fixed wing, Aluminum frame? 70 gees? holy moley!! lol.....like a new car only pricier.....
Flying in a Revolt....Priceless!
Do you pay for the parts in a high performance sports car or are you paying for the time, effort and experience that went into making it. Think Formula One, etc. There’s your answer.
@@pentachronic having said that most things are mass produced. Most thing! So by that notion I should be able to afford a new Ford f150 truck. I cant and they get more and more pricier.
@@davidwright873 Aircraft mass production is 10’s or 100’s not Millions like cars. Different game, different quality control.
@@davidwright873 Also, do you have to buy new ???
Nice video. Do u really need a pilot license to ride this
For a two seater you need at least a sport pilot license here in the U.S. A single seater that falls under part 103 you do not.
Nice video. Do u really need a pilot license to ride this
Yes this size you do. There are smaller ones and single seats that fall under Far part 103 and you can fly those without a license. They just have limitations.
