Flexwing Microlight Flight to the Humber Bridge

A beautifully smooth flexwing microlight flight to the Humber Bridge and back. this was filmed on a chilly but sunny November morning.
The total distance was 85 miles, and the whole flight took just over an hour.

Plenty of open fields around that part of the country. Wish that was the case where I fly!😉

[@robswift5693]

Until you get in the air, you don't realise how many fields there are around. What part of the country do you fly?

Just watched this on a 4K telly - brilliant! Thanks.

[@robswift5693]

I’m Glad you liked it. Watching them in 4K on a TV does make a difference.

[@CraigsAllotment]

Fantastic!
Took off and landed near my home.
I would love to try one of those flights. Look so peaceful

[@fpvflyby6855]

Rob, just curious what is your personal/comfortable wind speed range you chose to fly in with your trike? Thanks as always for the ride!

[@robswift5693]

I prefer winds up to 15mph, I have flown in 30mph winds before, but it was too rough for my sensitive nature, and I've cut flights short. How about you?

[@fpvflyby6855]

@@robswift5693 15 mph but down the runway for the most part. Been in higher but it gets to be not fun!
The airport I fly out of has a lot of trees buildings and lake Michigan, so conditions get pretty ratty. May Airborne has a 13knot cross wind component.

[@robswift5693]

I agree strong wind isn't fun, and as you said, it's got to be straight down the runway.

That was a lovely flight over some beautiful terrain. Have you managed to find old RAF Goxhill yet? its not far south of the Humber.

[@robswift5693]

Thanks Giles, I'll have a look for RAF Goxhill next time I'm over that way.

Thanks Rob, much better length of video. I really enjoyed the ride and amazing scenery . Watching you and Giles has made me book a couple of hours of taster flights for next spring. I threw up last time but it hasn't put me off, do you guy's get air sick sometimes?

[@robswift5693]

Thanks, Barry, it was a good suggestion of yours. I've never been airsick in a flexwing, but I have felt sick a few times in a fixed-wing microlight. I'm glad it's not put you off.
