I've been so torn between where to live in tassie (I haven't made the jump yet) I'm an avid kitesurfer and want to live by the ocean, it's been hard targeting spots until I stumbled across your videos! Coastal inlets and potential wind shadows are evident as you cruise along some of the coast as well as sandy bottoms and of course rocky outcrops. This my friend is a resource I'll be using to narrow my search. Lovely and relaxing too , Thank you
Beautiful stuff as always..........a pilot question for you....what are the general aircraft maintenance costs, on average per year for your Foxbat...??.....and kind regards from me, a Jabiru driver in South Ausralia....😃
Sorry for the slow reply mate... I fly about 120hrs per year, so I have 2-3 50-hourly maintenance jobs to get done each year. I use my CFI (Foxbat owner) who is an L2 maintainer. Each 50-hourly varies $500-$1500, so you could say maintenance costs are about $20 per hour flown. Cheers Gary
@@richardhawley8041 Thank you Richard. I’ve been including a preview for all my videos over the last few months. Gives the viewer a chance to opt out if not interested…
Thank you for this. In summer I have walked from Cradle Mtn resort to Lake Rodway, including a climb of Cradle Mtn. Then returned via western side of Cradle Mtn along Dove Lake. Wonderful to trace the journey from the air. Looks very cold and a bit scary!🤢😵💫
Nice footage. The place names are really helpful. I would like to learn how to fly but you provide such clarity that I can sit at home and enjoy it without the stress. Thanks
the place names are very important to me to understand where you are from one moment to the next, and give the video real context to make it come to life ..for me at least.
@@johntulloch1430 ok. Some viewers like to follow the video with a map, e.g. Google Earth or ListMap… I take all the geographic locations from the Tas Govt List Map which I thoroughly recommend.
@@CheckmateKing2 I think you’re referring to the large dune we fly over before landing. It’s just windblown sand, but one area looks to be raked over - maybe to plant some stabilising vegetation?
@@WanderingFoxbat On Google Earth, that entire beach, from the landing strip eastward, is heavily striated. To my untrained eye it looks like it’s been washed over. Regardless, this was a most enjoyable flight over territory new to me.
One of the reasons I enjoy these videos is that it feels like going way back in time. They are intensely immersive on a large TV screen. How often is the sea calm like in this video?
Perfect day, perfect pilot, geophysical perfection personified. Tortured landscapes on the wing. Luv them ancient Tassie rocks and telling sandscapes. You do our nation proud.
@@ryanmcdonald1836 Could be that the colour saturation is a bit overdone, but it certainly was not green. Just alpine heath above the tree line. Always difficult to get the right colour when we have a low sun angle…
Ive only watched so far, the first 35 minutes or so up to Eldon Bluff if ever there was a case for 4 K Video, this is it. Absolutely spellbinding stuff, especially the arrival at Crotty Dam / Lake Burbury, and then magic continues.
