Having a bit of a break. Don’t panic, normal service will resume shortly. 👍

Glad you enjoyed it. 👍

Almost there mate. 👍

@@michaelhayes7469 hi There. Blue Collar Aviation are the US distributors for the FlyLight range of aircraft. Contact tabor@skyrangerus.com for details. Tell him I sent you. 👍

@@stone8597 good stuff. How are you enjoying the new wing?

Haven't flown it yet...want to take my time, and the weather has been bad.

Wow. Thank you for the offer. Very kind of you. I’m having a bit of a break from RUclips, but that would make a cool video. 👍

Totally agree. Flying over the dams never fails to make me reflect on how much we owe. 👍

It’s a pleasure. Sorry for the lack of uploads recently. All sorts of reasons why. I’ll explain on my next video. 👍

Hi there. I have the side tone activated (switch 3) so everything I say into the mic is sent along the audio cable to the GoPro and is recorded regardless of whether the PTT button is pressed or not. 👍

​@@paulieb796thank you for your clearly articulated response to my question. I just received the cable from microavionics today and the audio on my hero 12 recorded from my PM100 microphone sounds amazing.

Hmmm. Not sure a jubilee clip would have been strong enough to compress the spring. The two high tensile steel clips that come with the spring could barely compress it.

Hi Dave. Unfortunately I’ve never flown the Adam wing. I’ll give Giles Fowler a nudge to see if he can do one on his channel. 👍

@@paulieb796 thanks very much

@@paulieb796 ive got an Adam wing still brand new and never had it out if the bag yet!!

You and me both. I think I’ll stick with a flexwing. 👍

Thanks. It was a great trip. Might be the last one of this year now the weather is getting cooler.

Thanks. It’s was all your products that worked faultlessly that let me practice my rusty RT skills. 👍

I get asked that question a lot. Having a wee in the air isn’t an option really so taking off with an empty bladder and not drinking too much before a flight is all I can do. Thankfully the trike can be landed in small places so if the bladder needed emptying, I could just pick a field, land, do the necessary then be on my way. 👍

@@tomcoryell to be fair, I did have a good head start. We are pretty evenly matched now.

Better late than never! There is definitely strange things going on in RUclips world! You could feel the history walking around Shobdon. Hope I did it some justice. 👍

Thanks 👍

@@NZTrikePilot you would be more than welcome. 👍

I use Motul 800 (the red stuff not the blue stuff). 👍

@@paulieb796 Thanks Paul !

Hi Simon. Shobdon certainly was busy. The FISO certainly had his hands full! I'm sure they would squeeze in hang gliders and paramotors asd they were very accomadating. There was a real sense of history about the place, and the cafe is worth the visit alone!!

To me that would be the scariest part. I want less proximity to helicopters and GA aircraft. Wake turbulence and rotor wash just complicate things.

Thanks Alan. I must try and scrounge a seat in a Gyro. Would make a good video. They are incredible machines capable of some amazing manoeuvres. I saw a display pilot turn one inside out at this years Weston Park model air show. I think Giles might be telling the truth with 85Kg. You do know he's only 5' 2" !! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. It keeps youtube happy. 👍

Dean, I'm getting an Arnold Schwarznegger / Danny Devito vibe!! I'll let you figure out which one is which!!

@@paulieb796 😂 poor Giles

Thanks Kev. This one was a load of fun to make, although Shobdon was a bit intimidating for someone used to landing at much quieter microlight airstrips. Definitely go back though as I fancy the big breakfast!!

@@paulieb796 😆 well done! Not always easy to push outside your comfort zone... but many rewards when you do 👍🏻

But which one is which??

@@paulieb796PaulieB becomes OllieB? But seriously, excellent video Paul! Really enjoy all of your content and I appreciate the amount of work that goes into it.

He is! Its like going on holiday with a big child!!! He's the one constantly asking "are we nearly there yet?". However, he know things and can fix things so its worth persevering!!

@@paulieb796 🤣🤣

Dan you legend!!! The trip wouldn't have been what it was without your ground support. Now hurry up and get that GST out of the way so the three musketeers can go flamping. 👍

On the case, sir! Can't bloomin' well wait. 😁😁

Hi Bernie. Landing fees vary quite a bit here in the UK. However most of the smaller microlight sites have very low landing fees for our type of aircraft, ranging from free, to a small donation to the tea fund. Shobdon is a much larger, busier site with great facilities (fuel, emergency services, controlled tower etc), but the landing fee was still only £10 which I thought was very reasonable. It was an extra £10 to camp under the wing.

Thanks Ged. We did have some fun. It was a bit stressful getting out of Shobdon. There was a real sense of urgency when lining up knowing there were other aircraft significantly faster than me on final. Great airfield though. We'll definitely be back, possibly by road so I can take on the big breakfast!

@@paulieb796 Hi Paul, I must admit I could feel your concerns regarding the other faster air craft coming and going. Safety is hopefully on all of our minds. I just hope I can get my conversion done and then start using my Adam.

Standard rating for petrol in the UK is 95 Octane. We have a choice between 10% and 5% ethanol and I choose the 5% which is a bit more expensive, but less harmful to rubber parts. 👍

Ken, we do try and keep it clean I promise. However I cant help turning into a 12Yr old schoolboy!!!

Eyup part-timer!!! Thanks for watching mate. Hope you're feeling better. See you in October. 👍

Thanks Graham. I love camping and I love flying so combining the two just makes perfect sense. 👍

Thanks Graham, I must admit that I very rarely fly into anywhere where someone answers back on the radio!! You made the whole thing a lot less intimidating though. Thanks for the friendly welcome. I hope I did Shobdon the justice it deserves. We'll definitely be back. I'm sure I can squeeze the big breakfast in next time!

Cheers! I'm almost there... 👍

Ta Ian. I can definitely see some mass PeaBee/Adam/BivvyBee/NiNE fly outs next year. I think 7 was the record this year. I think we can beat that if you're up for it??

I'm in! 😁🤙

Aww 🥰 Just so glad to have been part of it. Can't wait to do a spot of flamping with you. It's been a long time coming and it's so close now.

According to the comments, we are a comedy duo!! And there was I thinking I was making a serious documentary about aviation!! 🤣

Serious? With blow up things and flaps? Nah...😂😂

@@clearprop 🤣🤣

I've just googled the Janowski J2 Polonez. What a fantastic looking part 103 aircraft. What are you planning for the engine? I'd love to have a go at building something from scratch. Maybe one day when I retire. Best of luck with the build and enjoy the Flamping. 👍

@@paulieb796 The planned engine is the rotax 503 or the VW beetle engine.

That'll teach me for climbing a ladder after a night shift!! All recovered now though..

That's what the skip button is for. I don't think I have ever watched a full advert on RUclips.

When I was 18, I was grateful for the breweries sinking too many beers at University when I should have been studying. Can’t remember much between 18 and 21! 👍

Thank you. Better late than never! Hope you enjoy the rest of my videos. 👍

Glad you liked it. I’m just editing the second part of this years camping trip. Should be out soon. 👍

Mr aircraft is classed as SSDR and the SS part stands for Single Seat so unfortunately no room for passengers on my aircraft. There are plenty of Two seat options although they have quite a few more regulations that must be followed. Thanks for watching. 👍

@@paulieb796 muchas gracias

Thankfully never suffered from cramp in legs or feet when flying. Oddly though I do quite often get cramp on my hands where I can’t open my grip. I’m told the best thing for cramp is a plenty of fluids 😉🍺🍻🍺

Thank you. Part 2 is on the editing table.

I guess it was OK, but I’m a bit of a perfectionist so anything less than a greaser is a bit of a disappointment. The GoPros always seem to make landings look smoother than they are! 👍

I agree. Fantastic machines. Thankfully the parts situation is now much better. But there was a time before P&M moved to India when things looked decidedly uncertain. 👍
