The maximum load which may be added under the wing is 212 kg. The following chart defines the useful load of
our different trike models.

Any trike, built by an amateur or in series production, of a total maximum weight under 212 kg may be fixed under
the wing. The necessary engine power for a safe flight should be at least 25 CV. Check when fitting whether the
trike propeller stays clear of the lower rear longitudinal cables and the keel. A maximum clearance of 10 cm of
should be respected since the wing is its most backward position.
