A flight from September 2020 in the autumnal sunshine from my local farmer's field at Oldfield Farm, Heswall, across the Dee estuary at high tide and onwards through Snowdonia and to its western fringe, into the beautiful valley of Cwm Pennant. Days don't get much better.

Thoroughly enjoyed that flight with you Stu, but at 130kg this is the closest we'll get! unless you step up to a Chinook lol. Keep them coming. :)

“... and I cannot see the tanks...” If you could, it would not really be much use to you. I once wanted some verification that my fuel-timer and my actual on-board fuel were in the same ballpark so my wife (who could not see the tanks either - no use asking a passenger - there isn’t the room to bend down to look) used her phone which, when we fly, is tethered to her wrist, to take some video of the tanks. The fuel sloshes about so much, that it’s extremely difficult to judge how much there is.

That’s good to know; I do occasionally think of buying a bigger mirror but it looks like that would be pointless.

@@StuWithAView - I guess you could check for yourself before splashing out on another mirror by using one of your fancy camera mounts to aim a camera at the tanks whilst you go for a test-flight with 30L of fuel on board. You might decide that even with the sloshing, seeing the tanks is better than those fuel-gauges.

Lovely flight Stu, totally concur with you on fuel, my pilot colleagues always take the mick out of me as I invariable fly with full fuel even for short duration local flights. Sport 2017 carries 94 litres of which 92.8 is usable so also limited for weight despite the higher MTOW of 500kg but have enjoyed the endurance with flights of circa 3 1/2 hours and still landing with over 40 litres so haven't suffered from range anxiety! Looking forward to the 29th when we can all get flying again and really hope to meet you in person at some point in 2021.

Hi Stu, great flight, glorious scenery, on the subject of weight, I used to go gliding, and weight was even more critical than in a gyro, unfortunately, thanks to the lock-down, I'm grounded again, but I'm more determined than ever not only to fly solo, but to become an instructor, stay safe, all the best from Scotland, Stephen.

Thanks Stephen. And I’m grounded too; this is from last September 😌

As a guy wondering if i should go for my gyro license or fixed wing here in the west coast of northern ireland (incase you uk guys forgot we were part of the uk LOL)what do u recommend for local flying i have already spoke to chrisjones gyro training as there are no qualified gyro schools in northern ireland
@andrew.mccarter
@andrew.mccarter 3 года назад
Or should i go for a stol aircraft
@StuWithAView
@StuWithAView 3 года назад
Depends what you want; they are quite different to fly so I can only recommend trying both, even if that means a weekend trip to the mainland once restrictions allow. I love both; gyro is (to me at least) nicer to fly, but fixed wing is faster and can carry more. Chris Jones trained me 😊

@@StuWithAView thanks for ypur reply my heart is qith the gyro but i want ro keep an open mind i just fancy local flights. Usually for me as a paramotor pilot i could fly the 1 mile or so into donegal and west coast of ireland but becaise of brexit i dont know of this will be permitted
@StuWithAView
@StuWithAView 3 года назад
Andrew you really must try both. Personally, for local, I’d take the gyro; but you might feel differently - plenty do 😊
@jasonrwilkinson9216
@jasonrwilkinson9216 3 года назад
@@andrew.mccarter Hi Andrew I've done both, started with fixed wing and then moved to the Gyro, I have to agree with Stu my best flying fun has been with the Gyro but for touring and trips a fixed wing with some baggage capacity is better.
