My Trike

Finally I can present pictures of my brand new Aeros trike.
It is an Aeros2 with a Profi wing, a Rotax 912 and an Aerolux propeller. It is delivered through the Norwegian company "Nordic aircraft".
I picked it up at Gardermoen airport  in Oslo at tuesday 4.July.
It is of great quality and the finish is stunning. The 912 has lots of power, take off is done in five seconds and the climb is over 6 m/sec. The cruise speed can easely be adjusted from 70 to 110 kmh with the electric trim-device.
The roll is pretty light and the profi is a pleasure to fly. I've also tested it in heavy turbulence with great results.
Pictures says more than words:


Here I am at Gardermoen picking up the shipment from Aeros.


A happy pilot on top of the crate:)


Aeros had done a great job when crating the trike. Not a scratch.....


The trike is mounted. I think it looks beautiful in white and blue.


Here the new machine arrives the airfield. The Profi wing is ready in the hangar.


Fitting the wing...


Ready for preflight check.


The electric trim device. Trims hands-off speed from 70 to 110 kmh.


Taking off. The Rotax 912's like a rocket!


Finally a dream has come true. Own and fly a brand new trike!


Landing after a perfect testflight.


A really happy me after the first flight with my Aeros trike. I couldn't be happier.


I hope she will give me many hours with great pleasure ;-)
