Hi psg

I have alot missing and it is really sad to have got her in that state.
I have ordered new parts from P&M over there by you guys and i am fixing what i can. But it is slow going as i want her to be like brand new when she flies again. My biggest hurdle is the Log book and getting Pics on how the small tank under the seat inside the Skirt is held in place.
Also the strap that hold the Pax seat in place how that fits in and Damn i got a list as long as my arm ## ## ##

Will definately be knocking on your door for some pics and advice on how things go together. The seat was even cut off the frame :evil:

Hi Tailspin

I got the manual for it here somewhere in the middle of packing for a move next week and ill get you a copy if you dont have one. My one has the 65l tank so not the small one. The other one is stripped in pieces but there are many at the airfield I can take pics of if needed. I have a Blade manual in pdf and I think the trike is the same basic design I can email you if you send your email adress. It might help.

Hi Sacha

Thanks for the Idea's. I have the Blade manual but it does not give me small details like the strap i was talking about and how the Smaller tank gets strapped in. I would love to get my hands on a 60L tank but well that will have to wait till she is Flying and then i can start with the Upgrades and Extra's. I have done the wiring and now i am fitting the Instruments. (you don't perhaps have a small winter Altimeter that comes standard with the Trike :?:).

Finished some more repairs Yesterday. Added a pic or Two.

See if you can Spot the Repair.

The original Breakage =

If it is a Small one and it works then we can talk Cash. That is if you want to sell.
I really do not want to go and Rip Big holes in the Pod

Much appreciated Sir. ^*^^

Getting there, lots of small nigglies but starting to really take shape. Hope to Finish the Wiring this weekend and at least to get the pod back on and the wiring for the Motor sorted.
Will also service the front wheel and fork then it is basically almost ready for the last of the Small things. ## ## ##

Also cannot wait to get her in the Air

Hi

I just looked at the pod and I think its the larger one I have. Its in a box we move on friday and ill dig it out asap for you and take a picture.I know the type you want I had one and I broke it so I had to get a larger one and cut the hole bigger. What else do you need to finish your alpha parts wise?
