This
newly US designed and manufactured, weight-shift-control aircraft
(aka trike) leaves no compromises when it comes to comfort,
looks and overall flight performance and handling. Its truly
one of the best trikes in the world supported by one of the
best teams around.
A pilot's perspective of the REVO trike and handling characteristics
of the Reflex 11 wing. This video demonstrates the light
flight controls and the speed range of the Revo. The last
generation of trikes only imagined cruising at 100 MPH and
many required some upper body strength to control making
it a bit of work out to fly in turbulent weather. Those
days are over. The evolution of trikes is here. The REVO
is here!
The Revo's airplane like handling and stability offers a
much larger window for flying, allowing the pilot to fly
when it's convenient, and not just when the weather is perfect.
The Revo flies at 58 MPH hands-off or 100 MPH doing a cross
country flight. The Revo offers great responsiveness throughout
the speed range with feather light control input. Want to

reasons why if you are looking for a
world class trike, the Revo should be on your short list.

The Revo flying at Bo's RC field with permission. The field
has two runways with lengths of 650 feet or so. The shorter
runway has trees on one end about 50 to 70 feet high past
the end by about 300 feet. This is a demonstration of the
aircraft's capabilities by a professional trained pilot.
It is not advised to be emulated by regular trike flyers

The
welded structure, made from classic 4130 Chromoly, is stronger
and lighter, providing a great solid feel for the lifespan
of the trike. More one piece structural components allow
fewer bolted connections for greater longevity. An abundance
of CNC parts make for a perfect fit every time.
The electric in-flight adjustable speed trim gives effortless
cruise up to 100 mph. The color glass panel option with integrated
aviation GPS provides all flight info at your fingertips in
brilliant color and great visibility. The main wiring harness
is all aircraft tefzel wire with modular design and aircraft
circuit breakers placed right in front of the pilot.
Its
roomy back seat with the unique one piece curved mast design
provides great comfort for the passenger. Its front
seat with quick adjust foot pedals will fit even the tallest
of pilots with ease.
Its
cockpit consists of an efficiently designed instrument panel,
wisely organized and pleasing to the eye.
The Revo exceeds expectations in every respect: solid
construction, exceptional quality, creative design features,
contemporary options, meticulous attention to detail, improved
usable speed range and best of all, responsive handling and
turbulence busting. No other trike has all the benefits and
features of the Revo.
