The ATF Soaring Trike (ATF = Air Time Fix) adds power to your hang glider so you can climb to the thermals and power-off for lightweight trike soaring! You can use your hang glider with the ATF Trike, or use our specially-designed Solairus 16.8M wing which has been built specifically for lightweight trikes, with a state-of-the-art airfoil design. The strutted, double surface Solairus 16.8M wing provides best performance for cross-country, has a great sink rate and slow-speed handling, and is best for short-field take-offs. No mountain, no problem!
Imagine! Ascend effortlessly up to cloudbase. Shut the engine off and soar in silence with the birds all afternoon. When the lift gets light, pull the overhead starter and fly back to your flying field.
