Recum newby looking for advice

Hi,

I'm a regular on the touring forum, but know very little about recums, so am here to get pointed in the right direction before making the plunge.

I do know that I want a trike, specifcally for loaded touring, max 50 lbs with food, water, and winter gear, 210 lbs counting me. I'm old and not a strong pedaler, so it needs to be geared low for the steep hills. I'd like for it to fold for the occasional ride it might take on a plane. As touring is not a race, speed is not a big consideration, but frame weight might be, to the extent that is managable. And seat comfort for long hours.

Unfortunantly, I do not live anywhere near a lbs that stocks any recums.

Links to specific makes/models that might fill the bill would be nice, and/or to a forum link that probably has already answered the question.

Thanks.
