INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL INFORMATION

Congratulations and welcome to the exciting world of FLY PRODUCTS. We are one of the most

experienced and reliable PPG manufactures in the world. Our network of distribution centers worldwide

continues to grow due to our commitment to provide state of the art materials matched with exceptional

craftsmanship in every unit we produce.

Safety first, WWW! (Who, Where and When can fly it)

The TRIKE-FLASH with Powered Para Gliding (PPG) is the most exciting, least expensive, safest, and

most accessible form of aviation available! However, it is still aviation, and it brings with it all the

inherent potential dangers of aviation. People can, and do, get hurt, and even killed, in any form of

aviation, including Para Trike. For that reason it is imperative that before fly with this Para Trike you

must receive proper training from qualified instructors and obtain a valid PPG license, an then offer Para

Trike the respect all aviation deserves, respect weather and conditions, and realize that in the end, it is

the pilot himself that is fully responsible for his own safety and the safety of fellow pilots and

bystanders.

Depending on every national regulations, the Para Trike may only be operated in authorized areas and

flights within controlled airspace usually needs a permission given by radio.

Additional requirements like a valid insurance must be fulfilled.

Powered Paragliding is an extremely demanding sport that requires exceptional levels of attention,

judgment, maturity, self-discipline, and attention to detail. 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.

Due to the inherent risks in flying this or any Para Trike, no warranty of any kind can be made against

accidents, bodily injury, equipment failure, and/or death.

This TRIKE-FLASH is not covered by product liability insurance. Do not start it or fly it unless

you are willing to assume all risks inherent in the sport of Powered Paragliding and all responsibility for

any property damage, injury, or death which may result from the use of this product.

Introduction to frame drilling for engine mounting

We deliberately omitted the frame drilling for mounting our GOLD 130 homologated engine to allow

the mounting of a different engine model.

You must carry out the drilling operation in any case, follow the next indications:

Necessary tools to operate:

-Drill

-Metal drill points Ø 10 mm and Ø 6,5 mm.

-Hammer

-Rapid glue

ASSEMBLING “TRIKE-FLASH”

For easier storage and transportation the Trike-flash can be folded to the minimum size.

Assembly instructions:

STEP 1:

Open both wheels gears

STEP 2:

Unscrew the red plastic wing nut and hook rear wires

STEP 3:

lift the cradle frame and lift rear engine

mounting frame

REMEMBER: FIRST TIME ONLY, you must drill internal part of the engine mount frame

matching the external preset holes. In this moment of assembly operation the engine support frame is

still free to move, so you need someone’s help that insert the engine in the lower pins, slide up the

internal section of the engine mounting until the hooks reach the engine frame and hold everything

stationary while you perform drilling operations.

First step, when the engine mounting is well positioned, drill an hole-through Ø 6,5 mm on the engine

frame (between the two eyelets) in correspondence to the preset hole in one of the two hooks.

When done the through-hole, lock it with the issued plastic wing-nut. This will keep the engine mounting

in the right position ready for the next sides drill operation.

Side drill purpose is to fit there

a through-pin, with two

reinforcement washers, for

prevent a box girder buckling

when the upper cradle will lock

in that point.

Drill, with a 10 mm point, the box girder frame of the engine mounting matching the presets holes.

To avoid a maladjustment of the through-hole, we suggest to drill just one side and then the other side.

After deburred the holes, insert the issued pin with one washer mounted, beat with an hammer until the

washer will give you the limit stop of the inserting.

When the pin is well positioned, we suggest to secure the washers on the mounting surface with a strong

rapid glue; this caution will avoid the washers lose during assembly and disassembly operations.

Last operation to perform is the lower engine frame drilling for to apply the special cage section

expressly projected for the GOLD 130 unit.

Assemble the two upper cage frames and insert

the special lower cage frame.

Lock all velcro strap , true lower frame in line

with engine base frame, hold the frame in

position and drill with a 6,5 mm point the engine

frame trough the preset hole in the cage frame.

Lock it with the

issued plastic

wing nut, inserting

the ovalized

support in this

way Æ

This terminate the engine mountig SETUP that is required ONLY for an eventally change of the

engine model with different holes position.
