The Ultimate Trike

Whether it’s the V-Lite with the F2T wing or the T-Lite with the higher performance Core wing it would be difficult to find a better handling trike. Both machines powered either by the Polini two stoke or the Bailey four stoke engine are a dream to fly. They are also good fun to soar with the engine off in thermal lift.

Famous Australian aviator and avid microlight pilot Dick Smith has been on our case to build him an electric powered V-Lite. We have slowly been researching the viability of the project and you may well see an electric version …

Arrows in Hawaii

Just in from Gerry Charlibois in Hawaii, and we didn’t ask him to write any of this. It is slightly edited as other manufacturers were mentioned and prefer not to go down that path of comparing.
>>>>Kuddos to the AirBorne Team
We have logged 20 hrs each on our 2 new Arrow wings on our XT-912’s. I want to thank the AirBorne team for coming up with the best trike wing I have ever flown. I feel like I am flying a hang glider again. Starting with the take off in our constant 25 degree crosswind of 15mph, this wing …

SST to Arrow conversion

We have now completed a number of factory SST to Arrow conversions. This involves replacing the sail and some frame modifications. The time on the existing airframe must be taken into account as this will still count as hours already logged on the wing for maintenance purposes. This is a great update for SST owners and saves on buying a new wing.  We are taking orders for February conversions. email spares@airborne.com.au for a quote.
