excellent video Ben. Chris is a top man and supurb instructor. Bit of advice though, Chris says that no-one would be flying out of Old Park Farm due to wind direction.. we fly in any wind direction so always keep an eye out. basic rule is if you are flying chances are we are !!
Excellent video Rob, pity about the radio problems. I see you have several other video's. I must look through them. Great instructor! When I was training, I had one like him but the only one!
Great video Ben. Very good set up with the Go Pros - I'm looking to do the same in my 172. Chris is a fantastic guy. I flew my skills test with him this week - he's as good as gold.
Hi Ben, Thanks for the videos, I can see a lot of work goes into producing them. I am Flying C42's out of Lower Upham Hampshire, just about to go solo. Your videos are an inspiration and keep me going ;-) My sister lives in Cardiff, so would be a bit of a dream to fly to Cardiff and take her for a flight. Thanks again for the videos, I will post a vid of my approach to runway 22 Lower Upham, could be interesting for you :-) You guy's like ever use any flap :-)))))) Lol, Best Regards Bro, Jules.
Hi jules sorry for the late reply I've been so busy with work and havnt had a chance to get online much! Thanks for your comment it means so much. Have you solo'd yet?? Best feeling in the world!! Definitely send me a link of you flying, I love watching new flying videos! You will fly into Cardiff one day once qualified, it's awesome!
Hi Ben, No worries, I know the work thing takesup too much time ;-) Not gone solo yet, but should be next week with luck, just waiting on the weather really. Had a nice trip from Lower Upham to Old Sarum on the 18th August for my Mrs Birthday. We flew in Formation, I flew one C42 with my instructor, and my Mrs flew in the other with my other instructor. Pre booked a basic service through Southampton CTA crossing Eastleigh R20 threshold at around 2000 QNH. Then did a powered approach on a strip in Broadlands Romsey. Over to old Sarum for Breakfast, then back via Beaulieu, Lymington, Isle Of Wight, Gosport. I have a video I put together of the flight there, not as slick as yours, but pretty cool, especially the formation flying. I'll have that one up in a couple of days and send you the link. I'll keep you posted on the Solo. Thanks again m8, Happy Landings, Jules.
Wow that sounds absolutely amazing! I can only dream of that type of cross country flying at the moment! Yeah definitely get that online and send me a link! Can't wait to see that!! I've done a bit of flying in formation, it's such fun!
Yeh was a great trip, I'm just using a little Mobius camera, and the battery wont last for more than about an hour so only got the trip there. They are that cheap, that I may by another just to get more shooting time. Go-Pros have come down a bit now mind, so may go down that route. I use Sony Vegas too ;-) But too be fair, the vid was just shot a bit ad lib as a keep sake of the flight. I'm just tweaking the edit, will be up tomorrow. Jules.
Nice one Chris…see you soon.EGFH

cyril giraud thanks Cyril! He's a great guy
He certainly is. He instructed me a couple of times - mind you I still don't have a PPL so I don't know what that says ;-)
Brilliant. Hope to see a few more new videos some time soon. :-)

Nice video mate. Very impressed with the C42. Heard a lot about them. They make a lot of sense. What was wrong with the radio, did you find out?
Hi rob, yeah it was the noise cancellation headset playing up we believe
so from swanaea to Cardiff, how much fuel did you use (total cost) and what was the landing fees ?
