Altered a simple Ace Aviation rugged Magic Trike to have a custom pod and spats, more instruments etc. Soon found it needed a 'sleeve joint' to allow the front strut to be separated above the pod. To clear the pod nose added a Swan-Neck catch on the flying wire connection to the wing rear keel, which enables the basebar to clear the pod nose. Shown rigged from a wing trolley but works from the grass too, for parking at fly-ins. Rig takes around 5-6 minutes from wheeled out, this was early days, will get quicker
