- In this episode, I go flying with a friend of mine, Andrew in RB - A beautiful Eurostar SL that I hire out to a small group but don't fly that often myself!
The clay pigeon shooting ground is called “Mickley Hall” my computer decided to autocorrect it to “Mickey Hall” for some reason 🤦♂️
lol!😂
I'd love to get into ownership as I have an LAPL mate, is there any chance you could do a rough owners cost of G-NIIX, plane cost, annuals, fuel costs and the like ? Cheers if you can 👍🏻
I’d love to! NIIX is actually for sale too! I will try and find some time and show my ownership experience along with costs etc.
@@LetsGoFlying cheers fella, looking forward to hearing the lowdown 👍
Wow the visibility is unreal in that plane
It really is one of the best things about it! You cook in there in summer though!
@@LetsGoFlying yeah, I can understand that, least with NIIK you can have the doors off 😉
There is certainly no excuse for not maintaining a good all round look out.
A superb video! 👏🏼 I loved watching the cloud layers in the Timelapse section 🤩
Lovely landing too 👍🏼
Thanks for that! Yeah there’s a bit more finesse required when landing RB than IX plus it’s strange having to switch my mind around with different hands on the throttle/stick but they are both very different and excellent at certain things in their own ways!
Love flying the Eurostar - so light on the controls but can get really hot in the summer flying the greenhouse.
Great videos!
I agree with all of those comments! You are nicely enclosed when it rains too though! It’s a nice place to be for sure.
Interesting video, always like Eurostars, that take off did seem sluggish but I thought that you seemed to have the nose wheel off quickish (I didn't realise it was up hill too though).
What horsepower is that Eurostar? I know with C42's that it's advised not to power up on the brakes (it kills them off) but I wasn't told off when I did so with EV97s (80bhp).
Every day is a school day 😊👍💜😊
Yes it was a bit sluggish there was something atmospheric I’m sure. I was keeping the weight off the nose wheel but wasn’t trying to hoist her up. I opted for the slight up hill because the down hill take off involves climbing over rising ground! RB is 80hp and I’m probably a bit heavy for her at the moment! I was 10kg lighter when I owned G-CDJR!
Very nicely filmed nick. Interesting cloud layers, which showed up really well!
Great video and always enjoy watching them. Awesome work Nick and lovely looking Eurostar :)
Hi buddy, just wanted to drop a message.. saw the Nynja for sale 😱.
She is indeed! There’s method in my madness though I promise! I’m not hanging up my headset just yet!
@@LetsGoFlying - once you get that headset it is very very difficult to hang it up 😎👌
Never got to see the plane.
That’s a very good point! I’ll make sure to get it actually in shot from the outside next time!
Hi Andy. Good to see you flying around at our end of the aviation spectrum. 🤣
One lovely aircraft. Light sensitive controls though i did find the trim too effective, an eighth on an inch can easily put you way out of trim. Putting on fill flap is like hanging a barn door in the slipstream
Great to see you again let’s go flying! Thank you for all you do for these videos, and taking the time to make them.
You are very kind! Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to watch them! Keep chasing that dream of learning to fly one day too, you won’t regret it!
I am! Still trying to figure out flying lessons.😄
I've just started my journey training as a microlight pilot. 1hr in, your videos have inspired me! Training with V1 flight school in Oxfordshire. 👍🏼✨
Congratulations! Hal is a good guy - he’ll get you through your training in no time I’m sure! Thanks for the kind words - makes all the hours editing worth it!
Yep I hear you. My vids are all flight SIM stuff, I can only imagine the workload you must have to do to produce one of your videos. Anyway really awesome stuff and here's to you becoming the UKs answer to Trent Palmer!! 🍻
Awesome stuff! Can you take us for a walk around it one day?
I absolutely will! Thanks for watching.
so it seems you like Eurostart better than Nynja?
No no! I absolutely love my Nynja! I’m only flying the Eurostar so I don’t put any more hours on NIIX whilst she’s for sale!
