The engine hums, the trike taxis across a wide grass strip and the wing behind it breathes upward like a living sail. In a matter of seconds a gentle lift takes the wheels off the ground and the shoreline, marsh, and farmland peel away beneath you — low and intimate at 25 mph relative to the wind, or higher if conditions allow.
