What precautions do you take for crossing the sea in case of engine failure?
Hi, I have lifejacket and a personal locator beacon with me whenever I'm crossing large amounts of water
That was brilliant. I flew to St Marys by helicopter 10 years ago, but that looks alot more fun. I loved the Isles. As you say like the Caribbean. I've lost too much eyesight to fly properly. The one joy of my life.
Enjoyable but watched with the sound off!
What a joy this was, thanks! Can't help hoping the tourist office over there is called the Ministry of Scilly Walks ;)
😂, me too, that would be great
Well, would you just look at the colour of that water, just beautiful! Thanks for posting 👍
@TheFatNumpty glad you liked it, the scenery was stunning
new subscriber here hello from Ausralia
Hi, nice to have you on board, welcome
Beautiful location and amazing video, thanks for sharing. You should come over to the Isle of Wight sometime.
Hi, thanks for the comments, I've been to the isle of Wight quite a few times, I'll get some new footage next time I go and post it
Great How To on how to get to the Scillies! What I liked was the understated narration, leaving the fab images to speak for themselves....well done; one of the best short-flight vids on YT.👌💪
@paulmoran217 thanks for the comments, I'm glad you enjoyed the video
Do you wear an immersion suit for flights over water?
Hi, no I don't, I do have a lifejacket and personal locator beacon, the problem with immersion suits in a flexwing is it's not practical to wear it all the time and they are quite bulky to store when not in use
That was visually stunning 👍
Thanks, glad you liked it
I enjoyed the video. But it would've been 10x better if you had pointed out, maybe with graphics, the different towns, villages and landmarks. Such a shame
@@edbot456 I will keep that in mind for future videos
Lovely flight with some stunning views. Can anyone name the beach down and to the left at the 3:56 mark please??
Sennen Cove
grear video. Amazing views.❤
Thanks, glad you liked it
Awesome.... thank you. :)
@@MrOldways glad you enjoyed it
You're welcome
Great video's.. I would love to do this hobby. How much does one cost. Do you need a licence to fly one. Awsome. Dean 🇬🇧
@deanmcbride8747 hi, yes you do need a licence, these machines can vary from about £1500 to £60,000, the most common one, the quantum, can be had for anything from £3000 to around £9000
Blimey that thing looks about as stable as Meghan Markle at a family picnic
😂, it's not too bad most of the time
Wow, amazing to see 😍... thanks for filming it 👌. I had a gorgeous week in the Isles of Scilly about 20 years ago and flew by helicopter... It was as clear and beautiful as your flight... as you say.. Could be anywhere in the Caribbean. We've also been to the Maldives and I think the Isles of Scilly are as beautiful 💖🙏🏖️
Thanks for the comments, glad you enjoyed it
Wow looks like the Maldives from the beaches and clear water. just kidding, but looks stunning. Who would've thought we have that in the channel close to the Atlantic
I have some doubts as to wether this real or a flight simulator. I think the hands give it away and the lack of other humans.
What's wrong with my hands ?, and there aren't a lot of humans about while I'm flying, this is all totally real and happened just the way you see it
Great video - very enjoyable. Thanks for going to the trouble 👍
@@arebereeta1831 thanks for the comments, I'm glad you liked it
Wow you are the luckiest man alive to be able to do this simply breathtaking !!
Thank you for the comments, anyone can have a go at this type of flying, it doesn't have to be expensive to start with
Just wondering what precautions you have to take for that distance over water, is it just height for glide distance and hope? Sorry if it’s a dumb question
@user-kz2ro3hx9y hi, height is obviously your friend on those occasions but I also wear a lifejacket and carry a personal locator beacon
@@davesmicrolightadventures ah, thanks for answering. Fab video, fly safe friend
So close to death at every moment. One big gust of wind... and it's sayonara.
Not really, these machines are deceptively strong, wind can have a very big impact on the flight
Shit, we've ruined our country with a sea of farms, no natural landscape left at all, so sad.
What is the crossing time?
Hi, it was about 30 mins over the water
I really enjoyed your video. I would love to see a full length, unedited version. I like trying to identify the towns and villages from above
I'll see what I can do
That is fantastic! Loved the flight, and have subscribed. I've wanted to visit the Scilly Isles, and now I have, sort of! I wish I were healthy enough to do this kind of thing. I fly a drone to get footage and photos for my channel, and so see the ground from up to 400 ft overhead, but with a microlight I could get me lots of even better footage. I've always wanted to fly up close and personal to the clouds.
Hi, and thanks for joining, it truly is a wonderful thing to be able to do, I love it
Wow, just wow!
Hi, it made me feel just the same doing it many thanks for the comments
How are you finding the parts and servicing since the Indian company took over P & M? (I used to work for them (P & M) before they went into receivership!) Also, are you wearing a goon suit and have any extra safety equipment flying over water?
Hi, it was an absolute nightmare to start with, gs aviation now has pretty much everything in stock
I don't wear an immersion suit or anything, but I do have a lifejacket and a personal locator beacon
Cool, glad you're sorted! I still have a little puff of pride when i see the struts, cables and wings, wondering whether they were any that I had made! 🤔
Crazy guy well done it was beautiful
Thanks , glad you enjoyed it
I enjoyed that very much, thanks. 😊 Subbed.
Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for joining
It really doesn’t need the music. Far too many videos on RUclips with it when all we want is the ambience of the background or the sounds of whatever is happening in the video.
Great video, I do plan to visit the Scillys soon
Isles of Scilly!!never the Scilly isles!!
Love the musical accompaniment
Thanks, glad you liked it
I was enjoying this, but then the music cut in. What’s wrong with wind and engine noise?!
Congratulations on a brilliant video - I was almost emotional watching it, you forgot what a beautiful place this country is. I’d never seen the Scilla isles before, your right, could have been the Caribbean. That craft is amazing, I’m probably to old to learn it all now, but a fantastic way really sense the skies 👏👏👏
You're never too old to learn, glad you liked the video
It's marvellous that people like you do the things you do, and show us what we would otherwise never see. More power to your elbow.
Thank you for your comments, glad you enjoyed the video
Lovely video, what speed does this thing do normally? I'd love to learn to fly one of these. Looks so peaceful.
Hi, there are various models of flexwing with different performance levels, I usually fly around 80mph but can fly at 100mph if required
@@davesmicrolightadventures Interesting, thanks for taking the time to reply.
Lovely. I'm envious.
Beautiful Dave. A random recommended video, and wow, fantastic. My old home at cardinham airfield, now in west Cornwall, wonderful to see our fantastic county from such a perspective. Lovely music too. Regards Paddy.
Thank you for the comments, I'm glad you enjoyed the video
Great video, I dream of becoming a microlight pilot one day soonish, my only experience being with paragliding at club pilot level. I was under the impression that microlights couldn't fly over open water, so I was surprised by this flight, is it possible to do that after all? With thanks to whoever answers!
Microlights can fly wherever you want, I've flown into some very large airports all over Europe after crossing large expanses of water
@@davesmicrolightadventures thanks for taking the time to reply, that's great news, very exciting!
@@davesmicrolightadventures sorry to trouble you again, but is that flying on a nppl?
Hi, yes it is
Maybe it is a good idea to put some stats at the end of your video like: flighttime, distance, etc. Might make an already interesting video even more interesting.
Nice idea, I'll maybe do that on the next one
Beautiful views 👍 Thank you
How fast can they go?
hi, there are quite a few different models of flexwing with varying performance, we usually cruise at around 80mph, it wil fly trimmed straight at 100mph if required
@@davesmicrolightadventures thanks for the answer.
The music is beautiful, makes me want to fly a microlight through my dreams
thank you for your comments, i'm glad you enjoyed it
This is brilliant. What a fantastic video. I know Cornwall well many a holiday there as a child growing up in '70s and '80s but our family never visited the Scilly Isles. But to see this journey via microlight is just the best. My dad flew gliders and light aircraft and he would have loved this footage. What a way to travel, happy flying.
thanks for your comments, i'm glad you enjoyed the video
Awesome. Free as a bird indeed
Stunning, thank you. Actually flying there this Friday , cannot wait .
wonderful, it's a stunning place, glad you enjoyed the video
Magic,Enchanting and Awesome 👏👍👌
