• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Trike flying.

During an online session a couple of years ago a bunch of us were feeling wild and wacky and decided to see if we could fly the trikes to the top of Mt. Everest! :isadizzy:

We took off from the closest airport to the summit and all was going quite well until we got to about 13,500 feet when .....:pop4:.

We all simultaneously started to fall out of the sky with zero lift! We finally managed to land on a nearby snow slope amidst raucous laughter on Skype!
 
so wait, you guys thought you could get an ultralight up to 26k feet?
Well I did say we were feeling wild and wacky! :d

Some of us were high on caffeine (it was early hours for some IIRC....we were from two continents with an ocean between, flying online together) and others had been on the beer...what more can I say....lol.
