    Brilliant! No long drawn out self-indulgent shots, just nice tasty bites of the joy we know, wish I still had a Quik, more please

    Awesome video, well filmed, well edited and the music was fantastic, can't wait to get my wings back so I can fly again.

    I'm a private pilot who normally flies conventional aircraft but last weekend I went up on a trike for first time and I was absolutely utterly awoken to REAL flying. I've never felt so alive and free and at union with the beauty of nature in my life. I could see evrything in 3D, smell the trees, and really feel the air. I don't know maybe I was a bird in my past life but I've decided to stop flying conventional and switch to trike.

    This was the video that caused me to buy a trike and get my licence. Best decision ever.

    Everything about this video shouts WOW ... BRILLIANT ... GOTTA TRY THIS .... thanks to you and Phil so much for the time and effort you put into producing this video ... although I suspect it was more a labour of love than work.

    After 10 years of Pa28/ C152 followed by another 10 years of Skyranger, I'm now 6 hrs in on a Quantum 🤘

    Just showed this video to 90 kids at a school for 'aspirations day'. They loved it...and have promised to all try harder at maths to get a pilots license as a result 😀

      Ian Clewer well said Ian, as a motorcyclist I get that .. wind rushing past and changing directions by shifting your body across the saddle😊👍🏼

    Considering having a 1/2 hour trip in one. Rather terrified, but fascinated at the same time. When the lock down ends, I'll part with 75 quid and try the experience

    Wow... one of the best I've seen and mannnn I watch way too much shit. Awesome seeing four trikes chill'in together. Gotta admit... I get sad not seeing landing spots is vids like this but the thrill is certainly worth the bill with most things in life. Love the music and believe "it" was stolen from Coldplay or Coldplay stole from it :)..
    Thanks for the great show!!!

      Yes, either an nPPL license or ground supervision from an instructor after 7 hours minimum duel training

    Just these small nano's are really expensive. Annoying this only is for a few selected with money enough for this.

    • @paulsmith3500
      @paulsmith3500 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      That's not true I fly one a gt450 the same as the one in the video I have a third share that at a cost of £7,000 but my first one was a 2-stroke flash 2 alpha looks very similar but slightly less Powerful but will still cruise at 65miles an hour and I sold that 3 years ago for £1,200 so yes it possible to fly cheaply. To get your licence around about £100 for a lesson.I used to take about six to 10 lessons a year took me 5 years to get my licence if you look at it that way it's affordable I'm just an electrician and that's my hobby
