Thanks K but the trike will be rolling so it doesn't have to lift all the weight! It IS cheap, that's why I like it!
You asked for opinions, i gave mine!!
It will no doubt be fine however if youre not doing the maths, you can't be sure...
Besides big blocks and tackles look cool.

I would have suggested contacting Pete but I'm not sure he has the small block

Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...
