TrikeBuggy Foot Steering Kit Attach your risers to the TrikeBuggy and clip the adjustable end of the Foot Steering Kit to the upper part of the brake handle. This allows you to use the handle while flying without the clip getting in your way. Adjust close to the longest possible position using the cord keeper on the cord. For the Bullet: Cross the cords under the trike and bring them to the ends of the foot pegs. Tie a Bowline knot in the end of the cord around the end of the foot pegs on the Flexifoil Kite Buggy.

Adjustment of the Foot Steering Kit
Make sure the feet keep the front wheel straight during the adjustments! Adjust the length of the cord attached to the brake using the cord keeper. Squeeze the button on the cord keeper and gently slide it down the cord until you have just a pound or so of pressure on the brakes. If you adjust the cord only to the point of "contact" - that is, where the brake is just beginning to give the wing input, it is likely that this will not give much result during foot steering. You must pull about an inch or two of brake to be properly adjusted. This way, when you turn the front wheel to the left, it simultaneously lets off the bit of brake on the right, and pulls a bit more on the left, resulting in a very gentle but perceptible turn.
Please pay attention and fly safely!

DISCLAIMER: Please read and be sure you thoroughly understand this disclaimer before flying a TrikeBuggy. Trike flying is an extremely demanding sport requiring exceptional levels of attention, judgment, maturity and self discipline. It is unlikely that you will be able to participate in it safely unless you make a conscious and continual commitment to your own safety. PPG and Hang Glider Trike flying is a dangerous sport and may result in injury and death even when practiced by a competent pilot using proper equipment. TrikeBuggies are not covered by product liability insurance, nor have they been designed, manufactured or tested to any federal or state government airworthiness standards or regulations. Do not fly them unless you are willing to assume personally all risks in the sport of Trike flying, and all responsibility for any property damage, injury, or death which may result from your use of this TrikeBuggy. Safe operation of the TrikeBuggy requires a pilot proficiency equivalent to that of a BFI (Basic Flight Instructor), as well as an equivalent level of knowledge and understanding of those wind and weather conditions which may compromise the pilot's safe control of the TrikeBuggy. In particular, be advised that gusty winds or turbulent conditions may interfere with even an expert pilot's ability to safely control the TrikeBuggy, and may cause it to crash. Never take anything for granted in Trike Flying. If you are in doubt about anything, stop and figure it out or contact TrikeBuggy. Also please read our Warning and Caution! |
