Not that I know of!
However, building home-made trikes can be a challenge as well as fun! I don't know of any companies that offer kit trikes though!

Leave the wing design to the professionals and then put the rest in a kit form. I think there is some designs that some of the TRIKE PILOTS would like to change. :roll:

Try "Huntwing" in google - you can buy plans for it and then build it yourself. The sail you have to buy ready to fit as it is a little coplicated to try and make that yourself accurately.

Vliegvark on this forum built his own trike undercariage and fitted it with a production wing. It looks really rugged and has no profile tube. He and his dad are also working on BMW boxer engines that look really good - Rotax is just getting too expensive for guys flying as a hobby
