Hi Kamron,
Just wanted you to know that I'm having a great time with my little ATF trike with a Status wing. It's a lot of fun to fly. The glide ratio is terrific when compared to a standard trike and even notably better than my powered paraglider. Landings are a breeze, the wing holds a lot of energy being very clean and rounds out nicely for a smooth landing. Another noticeable quality is the nice ride while taxing around - good suspension.

Thanks for a quality product and also for your patience with me with all my phone calls. Incidentally, it's impressive these days when a real live person answers their phone - keep up the good work.

Safe Flying,
Bill Butcher

TC And North Wing
Just wanted to drop a line and say hello and thanks TC. You delivered a new Status wing to me back in April, while you were on your way to Florida.
Anyway, in the last month I have managed to get in about 7 hours with about 25 takeoffs and I'm happy to report 25 matching white side up landings. The wing I am excited to say performs like you said it would and as well as I had dreamed. I've been having myself ball. I can't brag enough about how it fly's. Even with my little 25 horses pushing me along I get a good climb when it's 85 of 90 degrees and a great head-back, looking at the sky climb when it's 50 outside. I've been like a bad rhythm, all over town.

I've been flying a little later and longer in the mornings when the air starts to get a little bumpy, trying to stretch my skill level a little and then head for the barn when it starts getting too bad. So far I am thoroughly satisfied with the way the wing handles the turbulence and how little pressure it takes to control it. You can fly it with two fingers even in the turbulence. The other thing that I immediately noticed and fell in love with is the response. When you want to turn, it turns right where you are and right then.
