Quick demonstration of the capability of the Nine nanolight trike, from blistering full power speed to literally hanging in the air at impossibly low speeds. All filmed at Sywell Aerodrome Northamptonshire.

Claire Loams (mbe) takes her first flight in her PB2 with an Adam wing. To say she was overjoyed would be an understatement.

great wing thank you for the vid. can this wing be mounted on the pixel trike?
COOL
Класс! Тоже хочу такой.
Такой очень дорого. Бери Е16

Does the trike itself fold for transport like the peabee?
Hi Ben. My friend and I are currently flying the Aeros Nano ant with Combat T wing and Cosmos 300 motor in Australia and loving them. We are also very interested in the Nine and wonder if it has any sailcloth choices other than black for the leading edge (not good in Australia's high heat and UV), and material other than Dacron (which it appears to be in all your videos). Thanks for developing what looks to be a real game changer in Microlights. Lance
Hi Lance, Yes the leading edge cloth can be made from ODL, PXB or NCV laminated cloth if required. The reason for using Dacron is to avoid beading water droplets and an increased stall speed if the leading edge gets wet. Dacron is also a little more elastic which can help with handling. Ironically, black is the most UV resistant colour in the Dacron range. Yes it fades to grey but the pigment coating on the individual Dacron fibres outer skin blocks UV better than any of the other pigments, including white. With the absence of rain, wipe clean fabrics will be fine, I'm sure. I did notice that Aeros have tested one Nine made from ODL sail cloth, Sergey, the designer, said it flew okay and didn't notice any significant difference. Cheers, Ben.
Thanks very much for the quick reply Ben. You've given us much much room for thought and an interesting insight into the properties of black Dacron. I've since discovered that our Aeros agent here in Victoria has a Nine on order with the laminated cloth so we'll see how that performs when it finally gets here. These are challenging times with unbridled egos attaining positions of influence and power; the senseless attack on Ukraine being just one example. I feel very privileged to be able to jump into the little trike and, for a short while, leave all that silliness behind. I trust that you and yours stay safe and above all Happy. Lance PS: If you are interested in our setup here is a link to a flying video I completed recently: czcams.com/video/jktdnrqTNsI/video.html
Some how I missed seeing this video when it first came out. Lovely wing. Thanks.
I’m interested in the taller windscreen. Does it make a huge difference?
PaulieB already won the prize….😂
Were there outtakes of you getting cuffed in the ear? Just kidding. Sweet new trike Ben!
Is anyone flying these in the US? If so, where did you purchase it?
You gonna have that aircraft for sale?
Excellent 😍
She looks incredible! Cant wait to collect!
Fantastic seeing my aircraft flying Ben.
27. What do I win??
Patience is a blessing
I could never move that fast. I hope your video was sped up. LOL!
Love it👍 Is that the taller WindScreen? Best Wishes
Yes.
I best pay attention to this one Ben😊
Nice 👍 What the price?
Email info@Flylight.co.uk and well send a price list.
@@benashman1495 ok thanks
When are you going to share some of the stats?
Not long. I can outline most of the performance figures now. Max speed in straight flight: 83 mph (indicated). Max straight and level: 80 mph. Min speed: 28 mph. Hands off trim: 55 mph. Max climb: 5 m/s. Pilot weight: 95 kg. Instruments checked against gps runs into wind and down wind. There is a new film coming out by one of our customers who had his first flight on the Nine last weekend. Look for Paul Batterton's CZcams channel: PaulieB796
So excited. Can’t wait.
Ben, I’m ringing you tomorrow. I have to have one of these. 👍
Looking good 👍 When should we anticipate its listing forsale? Cheers
Very soon.
BaBaBaBa BENNY & TheJETS or BaBaBLACKSHEEP BUT EITHER WAY MATE you are most Definitely and Quite Assuredly MASTER OF THE SKY sir and you HAVE THOROUGHLY CONVINCED me to get a 9 !!!!👍👍👍✈️✈️✈️🕊️🕊️🕊️🙏🙏🙏🪖
Hi Ben. What a great machine (not for me sadly, as you say SSDR only). All these new developments!! When will you have the electric engine for me to play with?? That looks amazing... Cheers John
FreeBiker I TOO am Waiting & SAVING for ......wait for it...... hang on.....hang '10' ... ... A 9 WING with An ELECTRIC MOTOR & SOLAR CELLS FOR PERPETUAL FLIGHT!!!! {{{{{{hey in my Mind it is Possible and WILL HAPPEN at some point}}}}} ∆ √ π
Cool looking wing! It will probably be too fast for Part 103 in the US if it’s too fast for Sub70 on your side. Giles gets to have all the fun!
It does meet part 103 😁
Looked like one of my landings 😂
How heavy is the wing? Thanks!
35kg
Is the 35kg including the 2 wing struts? Thanks!
@@lunameatball yes
Beautiful looking machine 😍
Very nice👍 How much efficiency is gained with rear wheels up, would love to see some real numbers to prove it is just not a gimmick to get extra money. I am sure there's a little but worth it🤔? Cheers
Regardless of numbers, it makes it very easy to fold the trike to put into the back of the car. We are developing a new style trike for the Nine wing so the Adam trike we put on was purely to see what performance we get from the smaller engine. More info will follow later.
My apologies, did not realize the Nine was the wing, thought it was a whole rig. Cheers
You can here engine/prop pitch change. It must clean up the air.
It was such a pleasure to fly the Machine. I can't wait for the production machine (WING and TRIKE) to come out.
what cruising speed? How much power is needed? Thank you
Cruise speed of 80 - 85 kph. Max speed of 145 kph. Min speed of 42 kph. Smallest engine tried: Moster 185 (26 hp). Biggest engine so far: Polini 303 and Cosmos 300 (38 hp).
Excellent! Adam w/ combat wing? Looking forward to seeing some details.
Not a Combat wing, 3/4 the size of a Combat 12T. It is the all new Nine wing, 9m2.
Whew! Is this your new soaring package?
Excellent is that one in the sub 70 range. Ben.
No, it is too fast for Dub 70, it is however SSDR.
very cool
Hi Ben. This looked great fun (not in the same league as the trip to Belago, of course). When you’re down here again without your canoe or PeaBee, I’d be happy to share a ride in our two-seater canoe. But I hope one day you’ll bring your PeaBee with you…. Cheers. John
Is there a dealer here in the states? Close to Chicago? Thx
Hi Brad, try Tabor: flybluecollar@gmail.com
Fantastic!! Flylight and Claire are pushing the sport !!
We’ll done, Ben and Claire.The joy of flying is priceless! Cheers. John
Congratulations Claire! Thanks Mr. Ashman for making flying a microlight possible for this lady. You can see the joy on her face.
Outstanding !… congratulations Claire that landing was an absolute greaser 👍👏🍻🎉
Way to go Claire👍
Shows the passion from both Flylight and Claire for aviation and getting people in the air. AWESOME
Great stuff. In the air there is no disability. Congrats to Clare and to the team at Flylight for the necessary tweaks. Inspirational stuff. 😊
Love the colour
👍
Brings back happy memories of paddling with my two little girlies. Where does the time go?!
Looks like you had a good time -- gotta admit, like the flying vids better 🤣 Cheers
Hey Ben, is that an Oru you're paddling? That's what I have as well. It's good to mix up air and water, just to keep things interesting. :) This is Jonathan from California (electric Peabee).
Looks like a nice day! Hope you’re doing well…Moose
