Hi Kevin, thank you for your comments on the video, I’m pleased you liked it, yes we did enjoy a couple of beers later that day.
I was the passenger at that time, but since got my private Pilots License and now fly my-self, you go steady Kev, Steve.

Been there, Done that. Lost engine at 550 ft agl on climbout. Turned base thinking that I could directly land midfield but, there were parachuters coming down so, I had to FLY the trike. Me?..I landed in a soybean field. It was like landing on a carrier deck. Those beans stopped me in 25 feet without tipping me over. No damage to myself or the Trike. Problem was a clogged fuel filter from some sludge in he fuel tank. Live and Learn…
