Safari fairing

Postby Ou Man » Wed May 30, 2007 11:59 am

I understand from Rainbow Aircraft that there is now official fairing for a Aerotrike Safari. Is there some one out there that designed their own pod? Will the Aquilla fairing fit the Safari? Would love to fly warmer without changing aeries :(

Ranger has a mould for an Aquilla fairing here in CT. He has been meaning to actually make a fairing which he is quite happy to lend to you to see if it would fit.

However I do understand that the fairing does change the flying characteristics of the trike and perhaps the safest route would be to find someone with a Safari fairing that we can copy or go to the manufacturers

Thanx Morph,
Hope there is some one out there that have gone all the way on this one. If I manufacture my own or addapt the Aquilla one(without changing the main frame of the trike),will it be necessary to get it legalized by CAA ?

I actually don't know

I'll ask around at the WCMC meeting tonight. It's the last Conties meeting. Next month, new clubhouse at Morning Star

Jy worry oor die koue en jy het nog nie eers op Wintervogel kom kuier nie.
