Forward Launch Challenges

Launching in the TrikeBuggy is really quite easy. You simply put the wing facing directly into the wind and attach the risers to the caribiners which are properly attached to the Front Power Loops on the Cart. If using A-Assists, make sure length of cord is properly adjusted before EVERY flight. (I recently reattached a riser and noticed that as the wing inflated and got to the apex, it would take a frontal collapse every time - even with a substantial amount of brakes being applied - WHY??? I finally noticed that the riser had been attached at the lower hole on a power riser where it was usually attached to the upper, Power attachment point!). Easy mistake to make, so always preflight, Preflight, PREFLIGHT! Imagine what kind of mess it could be if this had actually gotten airborne....
