Most people think I am just trike trash, but I do fly fixed wing machines too. This is a Fisher Super Koala that my father and I built. I have been flying it since 1996, during that time it has been use as a trainer for many friends. The plane is equipped with a rotax 582/C-box and a BRS chute. The Cruse is at 70 mph and stall is in the low 30s with no surprises. I have a little work to do on the Koala before i get it back in the air this spring.

Click on the link below and check out this trike it is a S-LSA certified Delta Jet AS-III 912 with Aeros Profi TL wing.
This machine is now located at Torrence airport close to Los Angeles. The information I read regarding this trike says its top speed is 85 Knots and cruise is 57 Knots with the strutted Profi TL wing.
This trike is fully equipped with a color glass cockpit with integrated aviation
GPS, radio and transponder.
What a great looking trike!

Attached was a note stating that the FAA will "guarantee" that
your paper work will be processed if you adhere to the following
deadlines:

1. By Aug. 15, 2007, you submit your aircraft registration (N-number)
request to the Aircraft Registration office; and
2. By Oct. 1, 2007 you call your local ELSA DAR to schedule your ELSA
airworthiness inspection; and
3. By Nov. 30, 2007, you submit your aircraft airworthiness
certification request packet to either a FAA Flight Standards District
Office) (FSDO), a FAA Manufacturing Inspection District Office (MIDO),
or your local ELSA DAR. Ask your local ELSA DAR which office should
receive this packet.

If you fail to complete the above steps, the FAA cannot guarantee
they'll be able to complete your ELSA registration and certification
inspection process prior to the Jan. 31, 2008 deadline."
