And since I don’t want to have to run to get into the air I also purchased a Cruise Carbon Trike with it.

I ended up with a Dudek NemoXX Wing as my glider

 

 

One bit of equipment I added to my trike was a SkyFlar  (sky flare) strobe.  The sail is big and bright enough to catch most pilots’ attention but if not, the strobe should certainly help with helping other pilots spot me.

Here is a video of the install.

I’ve changed the strobe location.  Here’s another video…
