Thanks for ride. Can somebody explain the real differences between the Blackshape Prime, The Tarragon, The TL Stream and the Shark? All of a sudden we have a plethora of two place tandem seating, same shape fuselage with anhedral horizontal stabilizers. That's too much of a coincidence not to be linked in some way or other.
The paved runway use to be chopped up (now it’s fixed), so landing on the grass was a better option, the short flight is because I was waiting for my wife to arrive at the airport, so some quick practice was the go. :)
Many thanks for this ride. A bit different to flying C152s from Bankstown way back when. The closest plane I've flown to this would perhaps be an ex-military CT-4 out of Port Macquarie back in '08, though not tandem of course. BTW, I love how you politely converse with Linda! This vid really makes me want to get back into the air - especially in a Blackshape! Cheers and thanks from Sydney - Dave
Linda was my old instructors ex wife, he said she was a nag, that's why I call her Linda, always nagging about engine speed, gear over speed & flaps. But I'm glad she's still hanging around.....Or Is she just in my head :) Thanks for watching Dave.
@@andrewrhodes-anderson8712 Great story Andrew. We have a similar auto-nag in a car of ours, but I'm a little cautious about responding as if it was my wife - especially in front of the kids! No nagging in the old Cessnas though... :-) Cheers - Dave

Not 100% sure, but all of them have roots in Millennium Master.
I believe that their trying to get into the military market for trainers and such.
@@turboromy I think they're all offshoots of the Asso X Jewel now that the original designer has passed away.
@@444mopar That's a good info. Never knew about that model. Thanks.
How did you incorporate distance, altitude, elevation gain, and time into the video?
Hay Alpha Tango, In the gopro settings you can even add a speed tracker, G force and the track. Look in the settings if you use a gopro for filming.
Pardon my ignorance but is there a reason you landed on grass and not the paved tarmac? Also why was it such a short flight?

Andrew Rhodes-Anderson thank you very much. Great video, delightful looking plane. Cheers!
