tridem buggy - three is not a croud


You all know the saying that three is a croud, but not in this case.
I already made and tested succesfully a tandem configuration
but we wanted a little extra fun and challenge, so i made an extra buggyseat-rearaxle with an shorter wheelbase.
the reason is that it will breakout easier being the last in the row of 3.
and as you can see in the movie it works as it should be.

the first serious test yesterday was with not to much wind,
and also not from the best angle we hade hope for.
but still we were albe to reach almost 40 MPH.

in the front i used a Libre Vampir Race Pro 8.8m2.
the second buggyer used a Ozone little Devil 6.0m2
and the tirth used a Pkd Joy 6.5m2

knowing that the test was succesfull, it can soon be galvanized..

Indeed, you know someone is gonna cross the line now and make like a 20 buggy train! With like a paraglider as the lead. :lol: would be a cool record, i'd give it a shot but I'm the only kiter here. :(
Or better yet a PG pilot flying in super high winds (cells facing wind) and have a bunch o buggiers in tow!

Several years ago at NABX we attached 7 buggys together and had 4 people flying nasa wings in every other buggy. I got to be in the last buggy. It was a blast.
