Aerotrike is Safari with Rotac 582 and fly from Morningstar. Not doing much trike flying as I am partner in Bushbaby so unless perfect weather prefer 3 axis. Goodluck with training.

I joined this and then didn't pay much attention, but recently have found loads of good stuff. When you asked which trike I flew it would have been a Q 462, but I am now instructing with a QTM 912.

Anyway, have resigned from the Army and coming to live in Cape Town!

Thanks for the invite. My trike is hangared on a farm up the West Coast, I don't fly around Cape Town much. How's your training going, when are you due to finish?

Cheers
Steve

of pilots and we do fly every weekend. Enjoy having a look at all the photos

Yes, nowdays it is a Kitfox Series 7
Some of the pictures are with Kitfox IV,,,
Why asking?

At 9:45pm on October 31, 2008, Sam Coffee said…: Sad photo's, (the storm) The 'slime' fixed the punctures, however the trike sat for a week without being moved and the materal apparently settled to the bottom (lowest spot) of the tires, all three. Ed pittman made the next takeoff and described the tooth jaring viberation as very interesting. I observed the bad shaking of the trike from the ground and upon the subsequent landing. currently checking out fixed wing and the tires you sugested and will replace the out of balence tires before next flight

HARLEY RIDERS CALL IT "HOG SNOT", SHOULD FIX IT AND PREVENT FUTURE DIFFICULTIES. WEATHER IS COOLING DOWN BUT STILL FLYING THIS WEEKEND.

At 3:28am on August 28, 2008, Mark Zinkel said…: Hello again Ross,

Currently, the company that produces the Pterodactyl doesn't have a website. It's DFE Ultralights. If you send me your email, I can send you a copy of the price sheet.

At 7:21am on August 27, 2008, Mark Zinkel said…: Most certainly Ross.

This first link is a very nice resource with plenty of old newsletters (they're really entertaining to read), building tips, history, modifications, etc.

http://www.geocities.com/pterodactylclub/index.html

This second link is a wikipedia article to the exact model of plane that I have:

Enjoy,

This is a great site, I have thoroughly enjoyed the videos that I have downloaded, Cheers...Keith
