      All my flying buddys get mad i dont do more videos.
      Truth is one i hate spending hours of editing.
      I love the peace ,tranquillity, converging with the birds.
      I had a huge golden eagle
      Fly over the top of my wing and look back at me. I was playing john denver (the eagle and the hawk) in my headset.
      Missed the whole thing my batterys were dead!
      I love the simplicity of flying like a bird.

    Great video. I was looking behind you and noticed a Lazair (dual engine, yellow and red) hanging from the ceiling. I owned one of those for about ten years. As I recall, each engine was rated at 9.5 HP but it was so clean and light that it flew wonderfully with the small power plants.

If I ever had access to a 2 seater, I'd happily take you for a flight.

  • @SeamusMcNeil
    @SeamusMcNeil 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thanks for all the videos mate - I wanted to ask if you have any showing a full pre-flight/walkarounds please? I see all these wires and spars and bolts and really curious how often and what gets checked prior to your flights. All the best and catch you on the next one.
    Cheers.

    • @GolfFoxtrot22
      @GolfFoxtrot22  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Jim, I have kept this part out as walk rounds are not always the same depending on the aircraft, even flexwing to flexwing they are different. Seeing as you asked, I visually check all cables ( running a hand down the flying wires), any broken strands is a non flyer, and visually check all nuts and bolts on everything. It's a good thing to get into a flow, I always put the split rings on one side to I can count them. The more you do it, the more you'll notice when something isn't right. Easier to check on the ground than in the air. Aviation is about assurance through checking, even when I flew my paramotor I did frame , engine and wing checks. Most Microlight aicraft have the preflight checks in the Pilot Operating Handbook ( POH). Sorry for the long winded response, but I hope that helps.

      Hi Brian, your concern is valid, however my hand is further awaiting from the propeller than it is when on your back in a paramotor, I did check this. If the string failed, you can pop them back and they lock automatically, it's very clever. The inner doors also help pull the wheels back.

      Hi Natural9, there isn't much holding them in and the lock is only on the down(out). You can still belly land but on the Atom 80, the prop spins so you'd end up breaking that. It's a very reliable and proven system, Ben has used it before.

      A principal diferença entre as rodas para cima e para baixo é o arrasto. Eu voei com a máquina por apenas 25 minutos, mas o ATOM 80 queima tão pouco combustível que seria difícil saber quanto na taxa de queima. A asa Adam é uma asa de manuseio tão doce. Lamento se o tradutor não tornou minha resposta compreensível. Obrigado por comentar.

    Time warp again lol. It would be interesting to see the climb rate of the Adam with the wheels up compared to wheels down.
    Also your 6kg above its weight limit ? Are these aimed at the Chinese Market 🤔lol 😆

      Hi Harry, I'm not about the weight limit of the aircraft, just the power plant. The climb rate was only a little better with the wheels up. I'd want to try the Moster version.

    Great video Giles but wouldn't it be a bit of a FAF putting the landing gear down in the event of an engine failure especially at a low level? Is the ADAM and the Moster still two aircraft that you don't need a PPL for?

      Hi David, I think with the little airbrake surfaces, they kind of pop out quickly. I think I'd get height before putting them away, I was just on the limit of the power of the little 80cc engine. Yes, no licence required ( Sub70 exempt) the ADAM is even lighter than the PeaBee. It was good fun to fly, I love to try the Moster version.
