Flight to Phillip Is Race Track 4K 

Hi Steve. One day soon you'll be more than 'just a mention' , you'll be featured with in-flight footage just like Delusional...🤗

Hi Delusional, thanks for the reply... Seeing the cars racing around the track was an extra bonus and not encountering any helicopters was an extra, extra bonus! All our flights have been a privilege and this was no exception. Flying along the coastline and seeing the beautiful contrasting colours of sea, land and sky is a real treat. These Aeros craft are proving to be great fun to fly and quite reliable in turbulence...and we've had our share of that! Delirious.

Thank you very much for the the positive feedback @ebonyivoryconnection1380, but could you make your name a little shorter?😄

Thanks for the comments Stewart. Look forward to viewing more engaging video from @CrayonboxAviationAdventures.

Hi Rico11b. We ordered the nose fairings through our Aeros agent here in Victoria, Australia. Yes, you can retract the wheels in-flight. I haven't tried but the difference in drag, I have been told, is negligible. It's also one less thing to do if you have to make a quick landing due to engine failure or the like. Having said that the Cosmos 300 is proving to be very reliable. Cheers, Lance

Thanks for the comment 'wrdturkey'. Much appreciated. Even though it takes a lot of time, I do enjoy putting the videos together.

Thanks for the positive response @user-uv-etc 😄. It is a great area to fly around with diverse terrain and associated flying conditions (islands, rugged coastlines to the south of the airfield and mountains to the north). Be well, stay safe, Lance.

Thanks for the encouraging words Patrick. It's always a delight to fly these Aeros machines. They are so well sorted.

Hi Elan S. The Oudie is a 5 XC. Tony and I chose these initially to keep an eye on each other in-flight which they do reasonably well. However with the increasing GA traffic in our area we chose to upgrade to an EFB (Electronic Flight Bag) in OzRunways installed on the iPad mounted on the kneeboards. This, along with the SkyEcho ADS-B, allows us to see other aircraft and their movements on OzRunways as well as them seeing us (most of the time!) This system helped me to avoid a potential mid-air with a Cessna as I could see that we were on intersecting tracks. I elected to do a 360 turn and straightened up to see the Cessna cruise past 300mts ahead, and only a little higher! I was impressed with the Aeros E-trike you are flying and would like your opinion on it if you have the time. Cheers. Lance

@@7Lance1Understood. The Aeros with Combat T wing is primarily for soaring hence why I am focused on Oudie or something like that. The wing is high apex wing with all the regular characteristics for the type. No major traffic thankfully. I understand Aeros has developed a new wing - the Nine. Which sounds great for flying. Batteries are great but only last an hour at best. Its expensive but really well made. Once you understand the battery management system it is very reliable.

Thanks for the response @@elans2844. We have flown the Combat T wing in some fairly rowdy air and it has inspired nothing but confidence despite being bounced around due to its light wing loading. Tony and I flew hang gliders for 30+ years and are used to thermic conditions but I think you're right, the instant start electric motor would be ideal for soaring. No dramas with fuel motors cooling off and having to be warmed up if turned off for a short time. When we do decide to utilise a thermal we find it is easier to just run the motor at low revs to keep the warmth in it ready for cruising between thermals. It does mean having to have engine noise all the time though. Either way these are great little machines and a joy to fly. Our Aeros agent has a Nine wing on order so that will be interesting to compare to the Combat T. Stay safe, fly high and above all be Happy. Lance
