- Day 2 at Sun n Fun 2024 was a memorable day as I was able to fly, if only in the circuit ( Pattern in American terms) I had been ready for the manufacturers DEMO slot but made the safety call to not fly as there were too many factors I wasn't happy with, strong gusty winds, new aircraft, new location, and tall trees creating lots of turbulence. The winds dropped in the evening so I took the opportunity to remove some of my concerns.
The DINGO aircraft are certainly going to be a big thing at next years event.
I tried to capture the people of the event as the main line was just to far away and too big for my cameras to do it justice.

Anyone else wandering what shade of pink Giles will get to by the end of the week? Great vid Giles and chuffed to get a shout out. 👍
Haha, the camera makes look redder than I am..especially when I am under a red wing..lol
Title for next vid - Operation Factor 50 ;-)
@@DanSmithBK Yes, I had F50 on that day and my big brim hat.
@@DanSmithBK 😂
That’s a British tan😂
Display pilot, another box ticked. Great video Giles, I don't know how you can talk to the camera as naturally as you do, great stuff. Looking forward to day 3.
I do feel a little silly at times, and there have been a few moments where I've seen someone out of the corner of my eye and had to stop and start again. :)
Loved this, Giles. What an awesome event this clearly is. Would make a great addition to next year's calendar...🤔 Loving the coverage and looking forward to the next one already. 👍
Hi Dan, we just don't have anything like this in the UK, RIAT doesn't even come close.
Looks great Giles, what an experience. Another great video. Keep them coming. 👍👍
Hi Ged, I'm heading back up norff this week.
Do love flying in Florida… glad you had a great time… nice to see the 9 in the air.
Hi Neil, I was lucky as the weather was so variable. More fun and games to come.
What a great time you are having. Flying in short sleeves, in Florida, looks like great fun. I look forward to you next video.
Hi Simon, I did notice it yesterday when I landed with frozen hands while wearing ski gloves. It was a surreal experience flying with no gloves and just a T-shirt.
Brilliant Giles another great video and looking forward to part 3. Glad you managed to get a couple of circuits in when the wind calmed down. The windsock still looked pretty lively just after you had landed so well done.
Hi Lee, it was a little lively but a few mph lower than when I decided to not fly in the Demo slot. Because it was just circuits, there was less pressure and I could get used to the new machine. TEM is a good thing to use as a tool to keep us safe. Part 3 is an interview with Larry and Amy Mednick.
@@GolfFoxtrot22 fantastic looking forward to it.
Well done, Giles. It looks an amazing place! 👌🏻
Hi Kev, I'm still recovering..it was an epic week.
:-) It's an initiation ceremony we all go thru first time over the Pond. If it's any consolation, you'll do the exact same next year too. Great vid too !
And you even got a mention Gary. It was a spectacular event, nothing like this in the UK as you know.
Finally some decent music in a TH-cam video !!! Cheers!
I do try. I use Epidemic Sound.
Nice one Giles. I guess the Larry Mednick interview is yet to come? I looked at the Revo microlight from Evolution years ago and it’s an impressive machine. Very well built. But unfortunately not available UK. Which is a great shame. His positive comments on parts of the trike design in vid 1 were interesting. Ben should have put a patent on it. Looking forward to the next episode. I’m coming with you next year. 👍
Hi Whitters, it was great catching up.
I completely enjoyed this video. You’re such a lucky man GF22 !!! I went to Sun n Fun some years ago. I hope Vittorazi launches an electric Moster soon 😀
Hi Andres, it was a great experience at SnF. I know Vittorazi are releasing a an EFI COSMOS 300, that is an exciting piece of news.
Yes dude, loving it! And your 'tan'. ✌
The tan is epic. The silly hat made all the difference. All recovered now.
Fun N The Sun! Keep that shade hat on and enjoy the Nine FlyLight Fantastic! So many planes/jets and flyers! Fly that pattern!🤪🤣
Hi JT, yes, I'll definitely remember that for the next time, if there is a next time. So much to see and do.
@@GolfFoxtrot22 Your Florida SNF flying looked top-notched. Way to represent. You delivered under pressure and in challenging weather!!! Cheers!!!
@@JTWardle you'll have to wait to see the demo flying , it really showed off how well the NiNE flies..I was just there moving the bar around a little bit. not bad for a FAR 103 aircraft.
Well you now have documented proof of flying in the US! 😁 Who knew the Nine would travel so far 🤣 Hope the sunburn wasn't too bad!
I think I was just hot as well. Being under the red wing made it look worse. The big brim hat did help.
Wonderful video
Cheers Al, I'm still at the editing laptop trying to put the other parts together.
Giles Giles Giles 👍👍👍
Chould have played the Coming to America song during your flight🤣
Too many Ls...I tried to find a nice punchy bit of music for the flying part.
@@GolfFoxtrot22 LOL, I had it that way for some reason,,,👍
Looks amazing! Well done Giles
Hi Duncan, at least you know what a NiNE can climb like. It was definitely a step up from Popham ;)
Are you going popham this year?
@@duncanthomas7455 I should be there in the Saturday.
Awesome mate 😍🤙🤙🤙
Hi Ian, I'm sure I'll be able to give you more stories when we meet up.
That didn't half shift during take off. I'm anticipating an increase in American Flylight sales after this event. On a sperate note, imagine the fun you're going to half peeling that old skin off.
Hi Nat, we'll have to have a good catch up when I'm back up norff. Ewww, no I'm not looking forward to that.
The flex wing community is different and is the Sub 70 and SSDR and micro light but at Northrepps we all get along.
Love the Dingo race, now that is very much in the idea of SSDR unlike my aircraft, I may have to look at one next for the Paramotor type days / summer evening potter. PS crashing aircraft would not help sales so good choice not to fly the demo.
Each airfield seems to have a different vibe as I found out yesterday at Belle Vue. GA getting along with 3 Axis and flexwing. They were curious about my PeaBee which was nice, they hadn't heard of it before.
@@GolfFoxtrot22 I think some airfield have a bit of snobbery about them, other are there for the joy of flight.
I think some airfields have legacy planning permission issues as some wont allow flexwings or 2 stroke aircraft in. I know of a few, as I anted to go there.
@@GolfFoxtrot22 true that is the case for some but other just seem to think microlights are toys and SSDR/sub70 are even more so but with the 600 class and fast microlights like the Shark with variable pitch props and retractable gear, I thing they are changing their minds slowly.
It’s not fun having skin cancer cut from your face. I don’t go out in the summer without my hat. I’m glad PPG Gorilla shot some footage of you. Looks pretty damn cool! Hi Ed, If you’re watching. Did I hear you’re from PA?
Hi Tom, I did have my hat on, but took it off for the small moments when chatting to people, also being under a red wing does help. I did have sunscreen on. Thank you for looking out for me. Yes Ed is from PA. I'll let him know your comment is here.
Yeah man. Pottstown.
@@GolfFoxtrot22 under the wing is SPF (insert infinity symbol here). Thanks for being our eyes and ears at SNF Giles!
@@edwalker2790 It’s very cool to see some Flylight pilots in the U.S. I hope to get one of their weight shift crafts before I get too old to enjoy it! Seems there is always setbacks. I assembled a trailer from a kit to potentially carry a Sub70 when I buy one and on the way back from taking it on it’s maiden voyage a fellow ran into it with his truck and bent it. Aluminum doesn’t fare too well when bending it a lot, so have to buy new parts! My stepfather was a Pitt Panther and my niece graduated from Penn State. I’ve only ever driven through PA or flown over it.
@@tomcoryell Well, start taking lessons now! It's like nothing else.
Wow that's cool ! how dose the cosmos compare with the Pollini, I noticed the cosmos 300 because its what I fly as well, better be a good review haha, Iam off to fly today nice video, thanks.
Hi Tony, the Cosmos is smooth but not quite the top end power of the Polini but you wouldn't notice it in normal flying. I hope you had a good flight.
Hello Giles,
Not sure if you are still reading comments on this video but I thought I’d post anyway.
I looking at building an Air Trike Eagle single seat frame.
I am wanting to know if the Aeros Nine will work with that frame?
Also, is that an appropriate wing for a zero time trike pilot?
Thanks in advance for any information!
Hi Bob, I always try to respond to any comments people put on my videos. I think the best thing would be to contact Blue Collar Aviation and chat with Tabor, he'll be able to advise further.
Rocket ship!
I did say to Ben the wing should be called the 9R, the 9 Rocket. Not bad far a FAR103 aircraft.
@@GolfFoxtrot22 sounds right to me !
