Larry, Check in the "files" section of this group in the "Captain Bob" folder. A number of months ago I posted a rather complete (or so I believe) checklist...
My apologies...somehow the file that I posted with the checklist has disapeared...I'll post it again tonight...it should be available tomorrow. Regards, ...
Ok...see what I mean by my old brain...I had the file in the Titan Aircraft groups files section...I've uploaded the checklist to the files section...It's...

Hi Denny, This is incorrect. An S-LSA Weight-Shift-Control aircraft is "not" required to have shoulder harness. I am a current member of that sub-committee and...
You don't need shoulder harness on your trike especially when its an E-LSA ( and that too g-E-LSA). The N-numbers should be as per requirements. You can see...
Abid, No wonder the ASTM does not want the general public to know what they have written. In particular, from this small excerpt, there is a GLARING bad...
Hi Richard, So the trike that you are flying right now ... what is it certified to per seat max weight??? I bet you it is not anywhere near 300 pounds. In fact...
Hi Richard, ... Oh please stop it. You are killing me with laughter. "Most" of those "informed" couldn't care to be informed, if you know what I mean. Abid ......
... I'd suggest that's an irrelevant arguement, Abid. Either Trikes are aircraft usable by people weighing more than 90 kg, or they are not. I'd suggest they...
Hi Mike, But its useless to suggest that most trike pilots weigh in at upper 200's pounds (like 290 pounds or something). They don't because I don't generally...
Abid, As a mater of fact, I have taken some lessons in a cessna 172, admittedly, the instructor was not anywheres near my weight. We would fill it up with...
Abid, There are those that are willing to look a problem in the face, then do what they can to fix the problem. There are those that are unwilling to look a...
... admittedly, the ... with fuel ... same time. ... operations. Richard, one a liitle guy and a lard-ass isn't a fair comparison to four lard-asses and half...
That's you and your instructor in a C172 which is a 4-seater aircraft. Now put 4 of you in C172 and let me know. The Apex trike is "SAID" to be strongest built...
I see myself as the guy who took the risk to certify a trike (and soon Apollo Fox fixed wing) and take responsibility on its own owned company doing all the...
I've been wanting to share mine. You should make up your own checklist based on your machine, and your needs. I printed mine out 2-sided and laminated it. It...
Rick P, Your prose is a bit childish and confrontational, but the gist of things is you are wondering if I have been doing any flying recently. I would love to...
Odd, I thought we were discussing our viewpoint of SP/ASTM/LSA. (and related problems) Not our individual past and current business plan. R. Williams ... From:...
Short memory Richard. Go back (or scroll down) and read your previous post where you specifically asked "Where do you see your self?". He was just answering...
Hi Richard, Just try and read what you asked me. Seemed pretty clear to me. Where do I see myself regarding "the problem" referencing ASTM standard and this...
John P, Actually, I only gave two possible responses to my question to Abid. (you can scroll down and see the two possible responses) There is nothing scathing...
Ok so you wanted me to say I see myself in the first paragraph. But I don't see a problem. I see and saw an opportunity and I dwelled in it and I figured it...
Richard, I just read that section. It seems to be saying that the seat assembly must meet that maximum load as a minimum capability for each seat. The way it...
Hi Bill, This has to be clearly kept in mind when working with any ASTM standard or certification. You MUST meet the requirements of the certification. There...
Group I have a 8ft x 18 ft flat bed low trailer with duel 2000 lb axles. Pulls like a feather. If you have a plane that is 18ft or less from main gear to tail...
... I would add that for trikes equipped with a parachute, the BRS company HIGHLY recommends a shoulder harness. As to the recoil harness, it's the only way to...
