Thank for a great series of videos . I am a 85 yo fan . once an Instrument Ftter looking after the blind flying panel in the RAF . You look a great pair ,i love some of your banter . Happy New Year from the South .
Hello! Happy New Year to you too! Thank you for the kind words - I am really happy that you enjoy the channel! Thanks for tuning in - I will keep the videos coming!
It can be very time consuming but I tend to get lost in the edit and re-live the entire flight so it doesn’t feel like the amount of effort! Must be similar for you! Thanks for the kind words, Tim. As soon as the weather picks up we should meet up somewhere!
Thank you both for the flights and sights by proxy - I have a daft smile on my face throughout every video. Anna and Nick, very best wishes to yous for 2024 😊😊😊
What a pleasurable little series for us to digest. such nice seeing places i used to fly at in the past. Keep up the good work and be safe and one direction is not only for microlight pilots... happy new year and smooth landings
Happy New Year, Nick and Anna! Its been very enjoyable sharing your journeys around the UK. Some wonderful scenery. Look forward to your adventures in 2024.
Thanks Nick & Anna. Interesting every minute. Its like our Irish Sea passages but compressed into a 1/20th of the time. Those CB's have laid us flat before but we don't have as far to fall as you do. Looking forward to your 2024 videos. Happy New Year from all on Mistral of St Helier
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! What a lovely comment by the way. Thank you 🙏. New video currently uploading as well and should be out in the next half hour! I hope you have a wonderful day ☺️
See you noticed that air movement and its direction is not always the same. Did Anna get too cool from the A/C in the motel with the long sleeves on the next leg of the trip? Ha! Ha! So much future fun. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day.
Motel! Now there’s an American word! 🇺🇸 - did I guess correctly? Annas tolerance to heat is impressive! Almost as impressive intolerance to cold 😂. Thanks so much for watching!
Haha you have just set me off now - that thought hadn't occurred to me until then lol! I do like the idea of the split door but I would imagine it lets double the rain in when it rains?
Hi Nik. My Skyranger has the 2 piece doors, i've not noticed any rainwater getting in. They're definitely useful aircon on a hot day either on the ground or in the air.
I imagine the gliders at Hus Bos were taking advantage of the thermal activity. Hope you both have a good '24. Looking forward to more of your videos. Anna seems to be getting very enthusiastic about the flying. Think she's been bitten by the bug?
It was a funny old leg from WW to Leics. It was generally quite smooth except for a few pockets of very lively air but yes - definitely a day for gliders! Anna really enjoyed that trip and it did wonders for her confidence. I find I’m a reflection of my passenger - if my passenger is stressed or uncomfortable it affects me too!
@@LetsGoFlying I am not surprised. Must be damaging to your confidence and concentration if you have a passenger who would much rather be on the ground.
Is it much cooler once you get up in the air? I seem to recall something like a 2 degree reduction for every 1000 feet. Do you get much airflow through the cockpit?
It is usually cooler but It wasn't that weekend! I am sure there was a temperature inversion as well. The airflow is good but there comes a point where you can have all the airflow you want, its still 32 degree air being blow in your face 🤣. Thanks for watching!
Been watching a bunch of your videos and gathered an interest in the skyrangers, one thing I'm super curious about though, is how do you check the Oil? Do you have to remove the cowling for every pre-flight?
Thank you and welcome to the channel! Yeah you check the oil on pre flight checks. I would always remove the top cowl before I fly to check a list of items you can’t see without removing it.
@@LetsGoFlyingawesome thank you, is the cowl hinged or do you have to remove a bunch of screws each time to remove it? I recently looked at a skyranger classic, and it was all screws, but I didn't know if there's a newer option for a latch or something
