Why can't you do a 3-pointer with a trike? Just takes practice. Personally, I like to land on the mains, then continue to taxi down the runway while keeping the nose wheel up and then take-off again for another touch and go. Great fun!

Totally agree, there is absolutely no reason for not 3 pointing a MODEL trike aircraft if you so wish to, they are generally light with strong gear. But it is not the correct method.

It would genrally require a higher touch down speed, especially if your model didnt have flaps.

Cheers and happy 3 pointers.
