There is the 51% Homebuilt option which is pretty hard to get through, and the exibition rule where there are to many restrictions on flight so there is an old 2 place ultralight that doews not have an N number I recommend you do not put any money into it, it may be waisted.

I am interested in possibly working on getting a license to fly a trike, but at this point am wondering what the cost would be. I live in Southern California so traveling out to where your training center is located would be doable for me. I am thinking of purchasing a FAR Part 103 trike, but I know I would need to get extensive some training before attempting to fly it. Hi Paul,

I am looking at a sky raider It does not have a N# so it was never registered. Can it get registered and if so how much trouble would it be? I understand it has to be taken apart and then put back together is this true? Thanks Richard Hi Paul thanks for having this Blog.

Initial Price. The 912 is $10,000 to $12,000 more initial cost than the 582 which is a perfectly good engine for flying trikes. Bill this is a good question with a simple answer. Initial Price.

Trikes are generally 10 to 20 hours dual training for proficiency check and airplanes a little less. It depends if you are traveling here and staying to get it, or live here and can do it over a longer period. As a rule of thumb, 1 1/2 to 3 hpours per day and every other is optimum for the new student starting from scratch. Existing pilots can train more hours and closer days because they already have the skills for flying. If you are seriously thinking of training with me give me a call at 775 772 8232 so we can figure the best training for you. Lee,

It adds a significant margin of safety and that is very important to me. Sandy,
