First time that I have seen a trike rigged to tow from, just seems wrong to me. Does anyone on here tow with a trike? What safety is there in place to keep the line out of the prop? I'm not having a go but am interested to learn as I haven't seen it before.

 

Working my grey cells I think I recall being told of people towing up hang gliders but not sure if it was trikes they were using or not.

Beautiful little plane but a tad overpriced methinks, 65,000 euro for the base model and 87,000 for the electric... that's over $125,000 in today's money at the factory in Switzerland, plus shipping/GST and all the other fun bits to get it here.

Hey I like this one. For the glider pilots - gave me cold shivers to see the bloke sitting on the wing...
