Very FIRST flight of my Airborne Outback Trike! 

Thanks Bill. I really liked the series (Enterprise). I have flown PPG a couple times but I am 66 now and not sure I could run with 50 or 60 pounds on my back...

@@fly1956 Yep, I'm 66 too...learned to PPG 4 years ago....actually signed up the day my daughter finished school.🤣. I'm lazy and reverse launch at the beach when the wind is good. If it is marginal, I reverse launch with a single skin Independence Grasshopper.....like I did several days this week. Where there is a will, there is a way! Bill

@@10661956 Thanks Bill. I have a will so maybe... Gotta do some weight training first 🙂.

Thanks. A hot pocket sounds pretty good (I missed breakfast).

Is it really? I got it last winter from Mike Huditz near Chicago. My buddy Lance driving the drone. Have you got a new one yet?

Hey! Thaťs my trike! cool vid

Thanks. I upload every couple weeks with new videos. Have you seen "Aligator in Lake Mead" yet? I think it is one of my best to date.

There is no perception of heights when flying. There is no reference for perspective. In fact it’s very hard to estimate altitude without and altimeter Take an intro flight with an instructor, I think you’ll be surprised

Thanks. It's been a while since I flew a 2 seater. I had a couple soaring trikes lately.

Thanks. Hope to meet all you guys in Montana next month.

Thanks.

Better songs?

Hi. Trailer is 8 feet wide by 12 feet long. Could have been shorter, but this was a deal. I screwed 2 foot X 2 foot plywood and used 4X4 cedar to make the wheel chocks.

Better...

Thanks for responding. Two quick questions: 1) can you fold the wing for storage? 2) from which company you bought it, email address of the maker ?

Edge has positive 6 g and negative 3 g and in Australia its a certified aircraft.

Price can vary from around 10K used to 100K, depending on engine, hours,and bells and whistles. I bought my Airborne Outback for 10K from a dealer just outside of Chicago. A & M Air sports is the name of the dealer. Mike Huditz. Yes, that is the dry lake at Jean, Nevada.

Thanks! Please check out my "Alligator in Lake Mead" video, and lots of others.

Bought it from a dealer fully assembled.

Airborne windsports from Australia

Nope, I learned from a Chinese hang glider pilot in southern Taiwan, 1998. He could not speak english and my Mandarin was very sketchy. Just do as I do kinda thing. :-)

Dude! You have the best videos flying I have ever seen! I am a big fan. You are obviously not on a shoestring budget like me... 🙂 I used to fly gyros at Farrington Air Park in Padukah, Kentucky with a guy named Steve Graves. He flew a 2 seat Marchetti gyro and he taught me gyros and then finished my Private ticket as well. LONG time ago... Again, GREAT videos!

I bought this one second hand for about $10000. New they are much more.

In Australia 50 thousand. Rotax 912 engine upgrade is a lot more

Mine was second hand and I paid $10,000. The engine was nearing overhaul time so I got it fairly cheap. Now days a new one will cost from about $25,000 to about $100,000. One like mine, about $20,000 to $30,000 depending on options and motor installed.

@@fly1956wow I don't have that amount of money. I'm a very poor young adult trying to make a big impact in saving our beautiful waterways. But my dream is to also fly I love that trike. I wish I could win one or if someone could donate me one.

@@edgars00789 $10,000 is less than most motorcycles, but yeah, I know how you feel. I am retired and live on a fixed income. Money is tight everywhere.

Yeah, like bunnies in the dark... Thanks for watching. Check out "Alligator in Lake Mead?" also on my channel.

This was like my first flying video. Almost all my recent videos have an onboard camera. Please check out some of my newer videos.

For 2 people you need at least 50 HP. 65 is better. For 1 person I have flown with a 25 HP.

Did you see the ones on the dirt too??? They're even trying to poison the Earth as well as the sky!!!

Fly over state? ;)

If we mute the music, does he get his money back?

Who's watching? You and your boyfriend? LMFAO

The songs not that shit

@@Louis-lu5wh Oh..... It's a shitty song. Ugh.

Made me puke

@@mikethomas9544 Sorry you have such a weak constitution. I will try to do better.

@@fly1956 Laz what were you thinking, the music is as gay as. Ruined an otherwise good video.

@randy, Im thinking of buying a sub 70kg and train on a quick 450, that bolt is changed in maintenance and not a normal bolt, I check it in pre flights, but kinda know what you mean ;-)

There's a steel cable as backup plus the aluminum tube would tear apart before the bolt snapped

That's why it's called the Jesus bolt.

This was one of our first attempts, Sun Shine, and drones have a learning curve to get really flawless on. Thanks for watching anyway.

Hi Frank. Flying by the seat of your pants can be much more challenging and fun than eating your lunch, while the computer flies the aircraft. Sounds like a button pusher to me... Keep the "Real" aircraft up high as to not interfere with the actual flying... I should mention that many "low and slow" pilots are airline or fighter pilots during the regular work week. I am sorry you have never tasted this type of flying. You don't know what you are missing. :-)

If you were to ask nicely, I might be talked into taking you up for an introductory flight some time. :-)

Kind of a typical lame brain, Larry. My first rating and 1,000 hours of PIC time are in sailplanes. So, yep, buddy, I push buttons but I'm guessing I have more "engine out" hours than about 90% of licensed and pretend pilots and motorized kite flyers. Prior to getting my rating I was doing 250 mile missions in gliders out of Estrella (E68) down in Arizona under the supervision of Les Horvath - so don't make any assumptions about what I have or haven't "tasted" in terms of flying. As a matter of fact, I've had a few near run-ins with various kite fliers who had no respect for right of way conventions - keep the kites low and well away from published air routes. Once I was required to carry a transponder in a sailplane I think a kite flier operating at anything over 1,500 feet AGL should be required to do the same.

Larry - probably best to zip it at this point - I'm sure I have multiples of the hours you have - ranging from a hang glider to sailplane, to single engine land, to multi-engine to seaplane.

Yeah, I am SO PROUD to have the privilege to chat with a "Real Pilot". You don't know anything about me, or the other people you insult so easily, other than what I post. If I cared I would sit down and compare logbooks but it's not worth the effort. Have a nice life.

Can't find the volume control on your TV? Sorry

I agree whole heartedly, but when it is really cold (like below freezing) the battery is not enough to start it so I gotta pull the lawnmower cord to start. I usually put the front wheel against my truck wheel so it can't go anywhere. And I am keenly aware of the prop disc. Thanks.
