Flying one of those trikes was enough for me, let alone jumping out of it. Controls all @rse about face, 100 hp engine the size of a shoe box revving its' nads off, and if the fan stops the L/D is 6:1, you say? :o

Terribly inefficient wing, for a start, then think about the frontal area of the thing with the cockpit, pilots, all the rigging and a prop out in the airflow.

Pretty sure the one I flew just had a solid fixed-pitch job, but it was a good few years ago. They may have moved on since then.

Its next week from memory, I have been 5 times now (going again in a few weeks) and to be honest, there is not that much to see and do.

Plus Hotels are hard to get and expensive then add in a very poor transport system and it gets quite challenging.

If you do go, a few days or a week tops would be enough.  :y

Ah... Maybe next year then!  ::)  Yes I'm sure it's an expensive place especially at carnival time!  :(

If I went, it would be part of a South America tour and I'm sure you are right in that a couple of days would be enough.  Go and see Jesus, get mugged, sit on Copacabana Beach and look at the girls, get mugged. Job done, move on!!  :y
