    For what it’s worth to you, I’m an aspiring xc pilot that just got my lic this year. I’ve been watching so many videos an your videos has been the most informative with respect to how the weather works with clouds, wind and thermals ect.
    I’ve learned a lot.
    Thank you.

    5 min mark. Tinny bastard or massive skill? Maybe a mix, a very close call. Bugger landing at that point! Top vid Benjamin.

    That’s one of the best Xc vids I’ve seen. Seeing the cloud shadows move on hyperlapse, and watching you use the wind and terrain was brilliant. Great channel

    Nice one Ben, cinematography, editing, sound, scenery, simply great, just as we're accustomed to expect from you. The clear and sincere narrative of your thought processes, decisions, etc, doesn't just add to understanding and learning but takes the videos to another level. Thank you

    What a wicked video!
    I had friends camping at Kyeburn at new year, With two young kids we decided not to go visit for the day, I should have taken a leaf out of your book and flow over for a few beers.
    Was great having a yarn on the way up to the gondy launch the other day.
    Keep up the good work!

    Hello Ben , great content. How many hours did you fly your zeolite before you trimmed it? Was there a substantial difference after trim?

    Hello Mr Kellet
    Is April and May are still generally good time to fly in your area, plan to be in New Zealand next year ? Hervé (French)

    • @BenjaminKellett
      @BenjaminKellett  2 года назад

      Ahhh it will be stable, May is one of the worst months for flying here, maybe June is worse... It is flyable but the days are very short.
