I fly a Pegasus Quantum 15 (faster 2 place trike) with a Rotax 503
DCDI. I fly from a 500 strip in my backyard. One up my normal
takeoff roll is 200-250, 2 up about 450-500. Landing takes 300
consistently with an approach speed of 50-60 mph. With a 582 or 912
you can cut the takeoff roll in half. Triking is great fun, try flying
a Quick and a trike and see what really fun flying is, I was torn
initially, but finally opted for the trike. If I had the resources and
space I would have both! One definite advantage to the trike is you
can land with a really steep approach if necessary in order to clear
obstacles. Climbout is really good too.
