Default TRIKE advise wanted (Australia)

Hello Everybody,

I am considering purchasing a two-seater trike to fly, as recreational
activity, in NSW, and in ACT, hence I need friendly expert advise
about trikes.

(NSW : New South Wales and ACT: Australian Capital Territory, ie
around Canberra and Sydney Australia)

The major criteria that I think I'll consider are as follows;
* Safety
* Availability of reliable service and spare parts
* Simple operations/handling and stable flight
* Long flight duration
* Capability of carrying two person (around 150-180kg in total)
* If possible shorter than 300m take-off and landing distance
* Existing user community in NSW and in ACT
* Price

Can I ask if you can comment, advise me about how should I select
trike?


PS. I have paraglider, hangglider, single engine airplane, and glider
flight experiences.
