The trike configuration means that the pilot no longer has to run to take off and land. This is great for light wind days, and for those whose legs are no longer young. The trike is more tolerant of cross-wind conditions, especially if equipped with a universal joint that allows some yaw, and is more crash-worthy, the pilot being protected by a triangular “cage”. It is also a very comfortable way to fly an much easier on the neck muscles.
