Poisk is Russian for quest.
The Poisk trikes are designed and manufactured in Russia by the team of professional aviation engineers from Special Design Bureau of Moscow State Technical University of Civil Aviation. First Poisk trike was built in 1982 to the special government order for the geological expeditions. The geologists needed a small, maintainable and exceptionally robust aircraft that could operate out of the undeveloped fields in the extreme conditions of the Russian North. The team had to design a new type of aircraft from scratch in six months. This is how Poisk trikes were born.

The design was so successful that two decades later Poisk-06 is still an elite workhorse of Russian ultralight aviation. The chassis of these trikes are designed to take a lot of abuse which makes them a primary choice for heavy industrial applications, such as crop dusting and serving remote geological expeditions.  Poisk-06CX is equipped for agricultural use The dependability of Poisk-06 model is well illustrated by the fact that a number of three-seater modifications was built for the military border patrol forces. Reasonably priced and available with large selection of engines, wings and accessories, these trikes are a no-compromise choice for those who demand a rock solid performance.  Poisk-06 with GEO 1.0L engine The instructional model Poisk-06T provides rarely available in North America side-by-side seating configuration, which in our opinion has a number of advantages over traditional in-line trikes when used for flight training. The flight schools praise these trikes for their virtually indestructible nature that tolerates extremely rough landings. The manufacturer's own flight school just recently retired a Poisk-06T aircraft that was in active training service for ten years!  Instructional trike Poisk-06T In order to meet the demands of competitive market, the creators of Poisk trikes have designed a Poisk-09 model with full fiberglass-faired body. This dramatically reduced the aerodynamic drag and gave the aircraft a stylish look without compromising the legendary durability of the Poisk brand.  Dependable and stylish Poisk-09 The Poisk trikes are no strangers in foreign skies. Before coming to North America, Poisk has seen the skies of Spain, Hungary, Malta, Greece, Turkey, New Zealand, South Africa, Vietnam and Mongolia. *The above video is narrated in Russian, but you can enable the closed captions in English by clicking on the cc button inside the player once the video started playing.
