Frame Instructions

Position the two rear Gibraltar Clamps on the rear axle by moving the trike near the motor frame. Clamp the larger portion to the buggy axle with the upper clamp facing towards the rear of the TrikeBuggy.

Attach the set of two shorter Motor Mount Uprights to the Buggy frame horizontal brace just behind the seat, as close to the center rear seat buckle as possible. Make sure that these clamps are centered on the Buggy.

Attach the Lower part of the Main Upright to the rear axle of the Buggy. Notice that it is positioned on the forward side of the rear axle, the same as the Motor Mount Uprights. At this point, the bolts should be snug but not tight, so the Uprights can rotate on the Buggy Frame.

Bring the Motor Mount Uprights and Main Upright up together until the Main Bolt hole is aligned. Use the upper hole on the Lower Main Upright. Push the Long "A" Bolt through the Uprights and attach the locknut. There should be washers on this bolt at each end against the Uprights.

Delta Instructions

Attach the Upright bracket to the Lower Main Upright as shown. Do not tighten yet. Insert top bolt through the Bracket and Upper Main Upright as shown.

The last bolt will be inserted once the glider is attached to the Hang Block, at the top of the Upper Main Upright.

Set up the hang glider, then inspect and preflight the glider completely. Position the hang glider on it's nose, so you can acces the glider from the rear.

Position the TrikeBuggy just behind the base tube of the hang glider, and put the wheel blocks behind the rear wheels. After attaching the block assemby to the glider, we will roll the Delta back to rest against these blocks.

Roll the trike assembly forward into the control frame of the hang glider and position it so you can attach the Block Assembly to the keel. The hose clamps that keep the Block Assembly in position on the keel of the glider should be attached at the proper hang point for trike flying.

Remove the hang strap from the glider and attach the first Split Shaft Collar approximately 3 inches forward of the horizontal apex bolt. Attach the second Collar about 2 inches in front of the other. Space these clamps to allow the hang Block to swivel freely on the keel of the glider. Specific placing of this block will depend on the weight of the pilot, and their preference of trim airspeed. Please consult the Owner/Service manual for the specific glider used for more details about trimming your glider for pitch.

Remove the Top Bolt of the Block Assembly, remove the Nylon Sleeve and position it on the keel between the Slipt Shaft Collars. Roll the buggy towards the glider until the two Hang Block Plates slide over the Nylon Sleeve, flush against the 1/4" bolt. Align the holes in the top of the Block Assembly and insert the Top Bolt. Use the Castle Nut and Safety Pin to keep the Top Bolt in place. DO NOT TIGHTEN THIS NUT! This bolt must remain loose enough that the glider can pivot on the Nylon Sleeve.

Attach the Safety Strap over the keel of the glider and secure with included hardware.

Roll the Buggy backwards, tilting the glider until the Base Tube of the hang glider is just in front of the front wheel. Position the wheel chucks behind the rear wheels of the Buggy so it cannot roll backwards, then lift the glider until the Long "A" Bolt holes are aligned (click photo for enlarged sequence). Insert the Bolt and tighten, using the locknut and washers. Tighten the Lower Clamps of all the Uprights where they attach to the Buggy.

Pictures are of the TrikeBuggy Delta, not the Transformer (new pictures coming soon).

Attach the Delta Front Plate to the front of the Buggy and tighten the two bolts gently, there is no need to overtighten these. Attach the upper strut bracket to the top of the Mast with included bolt and tighten. The Strut can now easily be added after the Wing had been attached to the Trike with two bolts, one at each end of the Strut. Make sure the Glider's Base Tube is inside the triangle formed by the Strut!

Attach the motor by lifting the motor until the top motor frame tube sits in the Motor Mount Uprights. This should put the lower frame supports in line with the Gibraltar Clamps. Attach the Gibraltar Clamps securely to the motor frame, then tighten the clamps tightly onto the Buggy frame. The paramotor cage can now be removed if desired, to improve airflow.

If you are using our trike specific motor, use the included 1" clamp to attach the lower bar of the motor mount to the Lower Main Upright. Attach the Pull Starter Rope to the Upper Main Upright with the included hardware. Make sure the rope is guided over the rounded tube between the Motor Mounts.

Attach the gas tank(s) to the rear axle with the included hardware and velcro straps as shown.

Attach the small back pad to the Motor Mount Uprights, just above the Flexifoil Buggy seat. Attach the TrikeBuggy Back Pad to the Flexifoil Seat, then clip the top of the Back Pad around the Main Upright just above the Lower "A" Bolt.

Attach the Seat Belt to the "hips" of the Buggy by threading the ends between the seat and frame. Wrap the belt around the metal frame, then insert each buckle back through the loop sewn on the end of each Seat Belt strap.

Para Instructions

Attach the Bullet Front Bracket to the front of the Flexifoil Buggy with the bolts supplied.

Attach the curved upper supports to the front bracket with supplied hardware. Pay attention to the Right and Left bars marked with "R" and "L" - these must be attached correctly! Make sure the small straight bracket is behind the tubes as shown. Do not overtighten these bolts - they should be snug, but not deforming the chrome tubes. The nylock nuts will keep these bolts from loosening.

Attach the tubes to the rear curved tube with the included Gibraltar clamps as shown. Bolt the Upright Attachment to the short curved tube with the included bolts and locknuts. Attach the Transformer Bullet Front Assembly to the Lower Main Upright with bolts and locknuts as shown.

Attach the upper Riser Guides 5" forward of the upper rear bracket on the curved tube. This may need to be adjusted to the individual pilot during the Hang Check. Wraqp the Redundant 10" Hang Strap around the Riser Guide as shown.

Attach the A-Assist clamps approximately 13" forward of the Riser Guides along the curved tubes. The A-Assists can be adjusted two different ways: by sliding the clamps forward or rearward, or by adjusting the knots in the cord. REMEMBER - Check for proper adjustment every time you fly (especially if you fly different wings) - There should be no effect on the glider when risers are overhead in the flying position - only when the glider is laid out behind the TrikeBuggy ready for inflation. As the wing comes overhead, the glider should fly at neutral (no effect).

Push the Hang Strap through the gap at the hip of the buggy and bring it back through itself to fasten it. Attach the Carabiner to the end of the Hang Strap.

Attach the Seat Belt in the same fashion as the Hang Strap to the frame of the buggy at the hip area.

To attach the paraglider to the TrikeBuggy Transformer, bring the risers through the Riser Guides and attach them to the Carabiners already attached to the Hang Straps on the hips of the Buggy. Attach the A-Assist cords to the inner "A" risers and check for adjustment - no effect on the glider when risers are overhead in the flying position!

Attach the motor by lifting the motor until the top motor frame tube sits in the Motor Mount Uprights. This should put the lower frame supports in line with the Gibraltar Clamps. Attach the Gibraltar Clamps securely to the motor frame, then tighten the clamps tightly onto the Buggy frame.

If you are using our trike specific motor, use the included 1" clamp to attach the lower bar of the motor mount to the Lower Main Upright. Attach the Pull Starter Rope to the Upper Main Upright with the included hardware. Make sure the rope is guided over the rounded tube between the Motor Mounts. Attach the cage to the Main Upright using the included hardware.

Attach the gas tank(s) to the rear axle with the included hardware and velcro straps as shown.

To attach the paraglider to the TrikeBuggy Transformer, bring the risers through the Riser Guides and attach them to the Carabiners already attached to the Hang Straps on the hips of the Buggy. Attach the A-Assist cords to the inner "A" risers and check for adjustment - no effect on the glider when risers are overhead in the flying position!

Line keepers on the paramotor cage at the 3 and 9 o'clock positions are a good idea to keep the lines organized for launch. 6 inches of clear tubing can be split and taped or zip tied to the cage.

Check all bolts, nuts and clamps before each flight, just as you would do on your motor - Preflight! Also, please respect the propeller!

Delta and PPG Triking both require specific skills which are different than foot launched flight. If you have not flown a Hang Glider or Powered Paraglider Trike before, an experienced Flight Instructor will save you time and money by helping you understand the necessary fundamentals of flight in these trikes.

Help preserve our ability to fly ultralights by being a safe and responsible pilot. Make sure you understand Federal Aviation Regulations, Part 103.
