Very nice 😁 Small bags, lots of them are key to the flexibility of the packing! Mind you, since I have a rear seat, that's ideal for one big bag to take lots of small bags, instead of a passenger 🤣
Hi Mike, yes, its funny how all the twin seats are just a stowage location for the camping kit ;). Yes lots of small bags, I learnt this from paramotoring.
Doesn’t some of your stuff fall out when you do inverted flight? 🤣🤣 Hey thanks Giles! You anticipated my next video request. I’ll probably rewatch this several times.
Hi Adam, the NiNE doesn't have retractable wheels. The early videos show it being flown on the Adam trike but the NiNE trike is completely different. You should be able to see it in some of my later videos. I hope that helps.
Hi Jon, I did enjoy my Icarus X experience but the biggest issue is getting land owners permission to take off, that is the only legal hurdle, unfortunately you can't just land anywhere in England (unless you fly in Scotland 😁).
Thanks so much. I'd like to do this too. However, I have a different light trike that doesn't have the built in storage. I'm considering locating a bag and attaching it securely to the frame. I must say attaching a bag to the frame does worry me a bit...it'd create some drag and I sure wouldn't like it coming loose...that would not be a good thing. Did your plane fly much differently with the added weight? Thanks again...well thought out.
Hi Stone, I hope you are keeping well? When I flew to the Fly-in with a very full tank and all the kit, I really didn't notice the extra weight other than a slightly higher fuel burn.
Giles, having followed your journey from the very early days I am a little surprised that you seem to have deviated somewhat in the relationship that the sub 70 enjoys with qualified BHPA HG pilots flying under the umbrella of BHPA insurance thus avoiding the need to complete a BMA course to hold the relevant CAA flex wing microlight licence. It would be interesting to know the numbers of sub 70 owners who fly under the auspices of the BHPA or the BMA. You also point out in your low and slow series the need to have back up support, primarily I assume for fuel replenishment, if you can incorporate this support aspect to touring then the need to carry survival equipment is surely somewhat redundant. All that said the Adam/Peebee is still an amazing piece of machinery that opens so many opportunities for aviators in general.
Hi Giles you mentioned you adapted a chin dam to your helmet face shield and I didn't follow up at the time and can't find it now that I think it would be valuable as I am noticing my mic is picking up wind noise. would appreciate if you see this to share the info again please. thanks! cheers.
Hi Clive, the mic socks work very well. The wind dam is the same one that is fitted to the integrated helmets. It's not a perfect fit but works very well.
Muito show. Com todo esse equipamento de camping, qual o peso de descolagem e qual a distância percorrida do nascer do sol ao por do sol ? Obrigado e um grande abraço.
Calculei que eram cerca de 5kgs de kit e posso levar no máximo 13kgs para o peso máximo de decolagem da aeronave. O tempo do pôr do sol ao nascer do sol depende da época do ano.
Hi Ken, my temps in the cruise are around 160C, I've hit 204C on climb out but then I back off. You can only run the Moster for 1 minute at full anyway.
Great vid. Looking forward to a camping trip. Quick question, you say in the video you needed 300ml of oil for 15l of fuel. I thought you mixed at 66:1 or did you just carry a bit extra?
What is the max gross take-off weight of the trike? With all the camping equipment, do you have to do anything with weight and balance for a proper cg? What is the cost of just your trike with wing? And are there any in the US flying? Dealerships? Thanks in advance! Bob
Hi Bob, the MTOW is 194kgs. The CofG on a flexwing trike isn't really an issue as it will always pendular to the right position. If you would like to know more information on the trike drop the office an email Office@microaviation.co.uk and they will be able to help. There aren't any US dealerships but there are a few flying in the US, one is electric and one is the ADAM trike with retracts. I hope that helps.
@@GolfFoxtrot22 I guess a reserve on one of these is mostly for newer pilots and risky pilots since they do not have to deal with the collapses we can have on paramotors?
