😂 you are in the aviation cult! You have been indoctrinated now & you can’t leave even of your own free will!!! Thanks so much for watching & commenting. I remember us looking at the WT9 when you did your presentation at the Private Flyer Fest 👍🏼 There are other aircraft I’d like to have a look at, but it’s certainly a strong contender! 😄

That’s very kind, thank you 😊 We keep scratching those lottery cards, you never know 😄🤞🏼 We feel so lucky to have what we have, but it’s nice to have other dreams 😊 We really appreciate you watching & commenting 👍🏼

As always sir, that means a great deal to me coming from you 🙏🏻 Thanks for taking the time to watch it 😊 We would certainly be very open to doing something similar for other aircraft manufacturers… Let’s see what happens 🤞🏼

😂 I think Eve has an agenda… but it’s not often I find myself in a position where my wife is actively interested in me investing even more in my ‘hobby’… should I be kicking against it?!?! 🤷🏻‍♂️🤔😂

Thank you so much 🙏🏻 you are too kind! 😊👍🏼 We quite enjoyed making the video & hope that other manufacturers feel inclined to invite us to do something similar 🤞🏼 We’ve learnt so much from doing this video that, if we have another opportunity, we aim to go from strength-to-strength with our production 🤞🏼 It’s great to have you onboard & see you back for another video. Thank you sir 🫡

😂😂😂 She’s a bad influence, but in a good way! How many other wives would encourage you to buy a different plane?!? Thanks for coming back for another episode! Good to see you again 👍🏼🙏🏻

😄 It’s what I normally wear on a day-to-day basis, but I usually ‘dress down’ when out & about, or when making UA-cam videos, as it seems to ruffle people’s feathers. Even my family are amused at me always wearing a tie! Recently though, I’ve thought ‘stuff it’, I am who I am & I’m just going to roll with it! 😄👍🏼 And, if it didn’t put me at risk of public alienation, I’d even consider a Bowler hat!!! They look cool, imho! 🤩 Thanks for watching & commenting 😊👍🏼👍🏼

😄 certainly if it was up to Eve, she would have us switch to an aircraft of this type! The EuroFOX is just such an agile & responsive little beast though. It handles soooo well & it’s my dream setup, with the colours & avionics I’ve always wanted!… I really don’t know 🤔… watch this space, I guess 🤷🏻‍♂️ Thank you for coming back for another episode though 🙏🏻 It’s great to have your continued support 👍🏼 Also grateful for your comments & feedback.

Well sir! It was you that inspired it & for that we are very grateful. The WT9 is exactly as you described it, truly amazing… but I guess you already know that 😄👍🏼 Thank you so much for the footage of your aircraft which we included in this video. We remain ever jealous of the setting in which you fly! 🤩

I have to agree. Superb and amusing commentary and well put together! Thank you for sharing.

@@nigelovens8110 That’s very kind of you 🙏🏻 Thank you so much! 😊👍🏼

Well I can’t wait to show you in person, hopefully sooner rather than later!😉👌

@@michaelblomfield1504 Us too 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 It is something we are very much looking forward to 🥳

😂 100% we are always looking for the next best thing! Eve says I should be grateful that she just wants a different plane & not a different husband 😳 The EuroFOX is so much fun & I can definitely see where you’re coming from with regard to the time you had with your flexwing 🤔👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Thanks for coming back to watch another video 🙏🏻

😄 Eve is very much inclined to agree with you! It’s the first time my wife has been pushing me to consider another aircraft. I feel like I’m ’cheating’ on my EuroFOX just by flying another aircraft 😄 The EuroFOX is an exceptional piece of kit… but then so was the WT9 🤔 Thanks for watching & also for leaving a comment 👍🏼

You are, as always, a gentleman sir! We really appreciate your support 😊 Thanks so much for watching 🙏🏻

It’s amazing to see the contrast between the high & low wing aircraft! That low wing obscures the amazing view you get in a high wing, but also changes the handling & performance in a way that I had not fully appreciated. Two very different animals 👍🏼

It’s great to have you onboard 👍🏼 Thanks so much for watching, I really appreciate it 🥳

Definitely my favourite, you’ve got to do it 👍🏼 Thanks for watching & commenting too 🙏🏻

It’s always a pleasure to read your comments Cptn 🫡👨🏼‍✈️😄 I don’t often ask for a Basic Service under that airspace (as you know), but I’m sure glad I did on that day! 😳 I was fighting them off like flies on a hot day! I definitely ‘feel the need… the need for speed’ at the moment! 😉 Eve is not helping & seems to be actively encouraging me!!! We’ve been invited to look at a few ‘faster’ aircraft, so watch this space for some new videos! 🎥 Hopefully I’ll see you at the airfield soon, if this awful cycle of weather ever gets broken… I hope this is not a sign of things to come 😳 Always good to hear from you sir 😊👍🏼

Thank you so much! 😄👍🏼 The team at Lee-on-Solent have always been welcoming & accommodating. It is a great airfield & has easy access to the beach (if the sun should ever shine 🙄)

Absolutely, it’s definitely information over-load! We fly for fun not for stress 😊👍🏼

@@FlyingDarkLord That's why I'm going along the microlight route this time.

OMG 😱 I think I remember a story about a civilian landing a Cessna Bird Dog on an aircraft carrier in the 1970’s 👍🏼 An excellent choice 👏🏼 I’m still searching for the best conspicuity device. I have both ADSB & PAW but neither are without their quirks & foibles 🤦🏻‍♂️ Thanks for your continued support sir 👍🏼👍🏼🙏🏻

😄 flying never gets old! Thanks so much for your support 🙏🏻

You are far too kind sir! 🫡 Thank you so much 🙏🏻

Thank you very much 😊🙏🏻 Have you planned the routes on SkyDemon? Sometimes I’m surprised that I don’t save huge amounts of time routing through airspaces. For the sake of a couple of minutes it’s easier & less stressful to just fly around them 🤷🏻‍♂️

@@FlyingDarkLord I have not yet planned them out, but you are probably right and it would only be like 5 mins extra to route around. Glad you are getting some time to fly again.

@@SpectrumGeeks Thank goodness the rain has stopped… I hope the weather is kind to us, we deserve it after month of rain 😳

I made it from web straps & clips from Amazon. It stops the straps falling off my shoulders in flight & hopefully in the event of an emergency 🤞🏼

@@FlyingDarkLord I’ve got the same problem. Good idea, thanks

Excellent choice!!! Sea Harrier is a phenomenal aircraft & I’m sure none of us will forget its role in the 80’s… I remember how cutting edge it seemed at the time 😮👍🏼

That’s a great choice! A supremely capable aircraft 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Thank you so much

Absolutely true sir! Definitely the purest experiences are often the least complicated 👍🏼

😂 absolutely! As I’m sure you can attest to, there is no greater a feeling! We are so fortunate to be able to enjoy the experience of flying 😊

Hi Steve & Lily, I hope you are both keeping well 🤞🏼 CG is already dirty again 🤦🏻‍♂️ covered with bugs & farm dust 😤 Once your back in the air we’ll hopefully bump into each other again this season 🥳

My word! It was indeed! I was meeting my brother for a flight & coincidentally he also had to get back for the school run 😊 Maybe next time then 🤞🏼 Thanks very much for watching & also for commenting. It’s a small world! 😅

Looking back at the video it looks like I was around 80 knots on the downwind & 60 knots over the threshold 😬 They were all very polite & accommodating though, but I felt like all eyes were on me 😳😄 At least we have plenty of time to think & watch the world go by 😄👍🏼

😂 You probably get a faster rate in the Ellipse, but it still made me smile 👍🏼

Oh hell yeah! Totally a mustang & spitfire 🕺🏼 I’d quite like to live in one of those aviation communities like they have in America. Hangars for garages & taxiways for roads!

@@FlyingDarkLord Understood old chap, me too. A British Spruce Creek. Lol.

Amazing choice! 👍🏼 I think that’s what @ShortField flies & he says it’s awesome 😎

I keep looking...prices seem to be depleting now..A lot of plane for the money

@@chownmike Definitely, a great aircraft I believe 👍🏼

I love it 😄 & the EuroFOX is just a wonderful & capable aircraft! It is a very simple aircraft though, I’ve tried MSFS & that is crazy complex 😬 it’s much easier in my little plane… fewer buttons & controls to worry about 👍🏼

Yes indeed!!! Take the whole family on trips with you, arrive quickly & in style 😎 Far more practical than a DC3!!!

Oh yes!!! 🤩 You are proper old skool!!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

It is an awesome aircraft! It has brought me a world of pleasure & freedom 🙏🏻👍🏼

That’s very kind! Summer is finally here & so I’m hoping I’ll be able to fly more & produce some content for videos! 🤞🏼😊👍🏼

😂😂😂 The ultimate way to see the countryside, but yup, when it comes to the circuit the flexwing is definitely the tractor in the way when you’re late for work!!! 👍🏼

@@FlyingDarkLord Catch 'dave bromley microlight adventures' flexwing trip from Bodmin to Scilly Isles. So pretty from the air😎 Is it within your range?

@@CD-ie3fp Thanks for the recommendation 👍🏼 I’ll check it out 🤓

I really appreciate you watching, very many thanks 🙏🏻 Could you see all three runways? I hope you thought of us when you passed over it! 😄👋🏼👍🏼

@@FlyingDarkLord Yeah I could see the runways. Funny thing is I did when I passed over Stoney Cross.

@@Andy-Eagle 😊👍🏼

Thank you very much sir! 🙏🏻 The Middle Wallop event sounds awesome! It’s also within spitting distance of our airfield! I went to Farway Common for a similar (smaller) event & it was excellent! I would have love to have attended on the 14th, but Eve has booked lunch with friends… I’m gonna see if I can somehow engineer it though 🤔

@@FlyingDarkLord It's a good chance to visit what is apparently, Europe's largest grass airfield. About 50 aircraft & a few hundred cars there last year. I think aircraft booking has closed for MWW&W this year, per the event website. They might make an exception for possibly the shiniest EuroFox in the south! Farway Common looked interesting, that's one to keep in mind for future years. Henstridge W&W on 24th August is also a good local one to keep in mind.

@@OllyFrampton Thanks so much! 😎 My word, you have your finger on the pulse of the aviation social calendar 👍🏼 Henstridge is also just around the corner for me, so I’m sticking that one in the diary!!! 🕺🏼

Just when I was all settled in!!! 😂 Those are my favourite prescription Sunglasses. They are made by an Aviation sunglasses company called Bigatmo. They are a bit pricey, but perfect for aviation. They seem to know their stuff & have been impressed by them. Each set is custom made, so it takes sometime to get them. They are my second set as I damaged the first 🤦🏻‍♂️

I'll take a look. Thanks. Are they fairly light? Hate heavy sunnies.

@@chrisa7237 They are, & the arms fit nicely under a headset & can be removed & replaced with a headset in situ 👍🏼

@@FlyingDarkLord Do you have a pilot aware? You've got an iPad and I'm told the Skyview will also plot targets from it. Game changer and wouldn't be without it now.

@@chrisa7237 I have PAW… not loving it to be honest. It’s been a bit unreliable & is the reason that Yellow ‘Caution’ denunciation is constantly on my instrument screen on the bottom right hand side. There’s a ‘network error’ & in my experience, it’s not really been that user-friendly 😔 I had high hopes. I’m going to get the guys at EuroFOX to take a look at it, but 🤷🏻‍♂️

That is an excellent question! Sadly, I don’t think anyone really knows 🤔 I believe it takes its roots from a fashion started in the early 1600’s, but it’s been an established feature of men’s wear throughout history. If anyone else has any information then please feel free to comment 👍🏼 The weather is improving & perhaps when it gets a bit warmer it may feature less in my videos 😊 Thanks for watching though 🙏🏻

@@FlyingDarkLord Nooooo! Don’t lower your standards!

@@johnstarkie9948 It’s not going anywhere! 😄👍🏼

OMG! 🫨 I thought that too! 😄 I’m glad it’s not just me! It took me about three watches of the video to place it & then I realised 😂

​@@FlyingDarkLordI did accuse him of being Rob a few months ago and he denied it. Still not convinced it isn't him!

@@ghoflyer 😄

Ooo, I’ve never been there before 🤔 I’ll have to do a bit of research on that… thanks for the heads-up 🙏🏻👍🏼

Good choices!!! That SF260 also has a huge performance range, so perfect for all sorts of fun!!! 😄👍🏼
