Thanks For Watching. - Навчання та стиль
Andrew really inspired by your last vid. Keep them coming!
I remember working on test flights and it was brutal. Thankfully I get to train pilots and enjoy small planes. I’ve flown 747s and fly A380!
Looking forward to you conquering the skies with your new bird. Ignore the keyboard warriors! They will always exist!
I adore you two!
ASPW: I am not that stupid
Gwynn: if you say so bunny 🐰
Now all you need is your 2-litre coke, 3 litre Ford and you Klippies! All joking aside I love your channel and vids.
Good onya!
Wonderful addition to your stable. Loved your banter with Gwynn about "the mountain". Enjoy!
I always had this dream of buying a Sinus motorglider. All Pipistrel aircraft are amazing but the Sinus is the one I dream of. Flying all day long for pennies while that propeller is feathered. Congratulations from Santiago, Chile.
In 2014 I took possession of a touring motor glider (Phoenix U-15) with the Rotax 912 ULS. I had been a long time glider pilot and was accustomed to trailering them to distant soaring venues as the seasons made them advantageous. Upon taking delivery and after the transition training my glider friends asked what kind of trailer I would keep it in. Like you, I had come to the obvious conclusion that I "didn't need no stinkin' trailer". The Phoenix had an engine that could take us to the desired locations at 120 Kt, and there were auto rental options all over the country (USA) with direct service to the general aviation airports I most often frequent. Since then we've been up and down the entire east coast of USA from Maine to Florida several times, and had one epic journey from Atlanta, GA to Northern California, with return across a more northerly route to the east coast near NY City. My only disappointment being that I can't fit my road bicycle into the plane without near total disassembly ... not worth the bother... but none the less have been able to rent good bikes at some destinations. In worst case scenario that you need to retrieve your plane, should it become disabled far from spare parts and repair facility, it can be fairly easily secured into largish rental truck. The trick being to have a couple of solid planks or metal ramps, strong rope, and a hand crank winch to load the fuselage into the truck and straps and padded moving blankets to secure the load. Have fun! I certainly have. Renting a camper at select destinations is a good idea.
Excited
What a smart looking piece of kit.
Definitely 4x"OVER"LAND .. ,now !
Woo hoo exciting times ahead can't wait to see your adventures in the powered glider
Cute couple.
Wow that's awesome Andrew, wish I'd seen this earlier.... Bombadier to pilot, over target now... O.o
You're both looking great. Looks like you've trimmed up. Well done!
Marty from Perth
What a moment watching it for the first time.Iooking forward to the variety of the content by the new addition to the channel.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
Very cool bunny 😂
thank you for share
good luck further plan and joy life dreams
Come and visit us out at Cunderdin aerodrome sometime where we fly gliders on the weekends!
Andrew, FIY, the machines are called Reach Stackers. Greetings from a former operator/ driver of those. Different port, same job.
Well done Andrew. AlphaSieraWhisky would have been cool too.
Bravo.thenks
Cool, love motor gliders.
Very exciting, enjoy..
Back in the mid 80's I used to transport ultra-lights around in a enclosed trailer. Biggest problem we had was cross winds lifting the trailer. It never took very high winds to cause problems. Something to consider if you go down that route.
Love this!!! My child dream was fly a plane, my job as photojournalist give some fantastic experiences and fly for my self a plane, just for a couple minutes, was a fantastic experience. glad to learn more about plane with you.
Fantastic content
Congratulation on Your new aircraft Andrew. Looking forward to some cool videos from the sky
Seeing you are making a custom trailer, surely you can make the shape fit the glider - put the wings inside, and make the sidewalls lean, so it's truncated triangular in shape to prevent the wind lifting the trailer?
wonderful video. that's art. no spectacular angles, just two normal people talking about airplane an potato
I would design a custom trailer! I don't know what the regulations will be like in AUS but I'm sure that everything can be transported in one single customized trailer.
Quite interesting to watch your video! Am Kenyan aviation enthusiast with aircraft engineering dream since childhood...How i wish could get sponsored for a visit there and help in your workshop in Australia!!!
Well if you change the gps to WA Oz English it will tell you... look at the effen dessert, mate. If you need some space 150km from you, we have a lot space here in the wheat belt. 😎
What a cute couple you are! Very exciting video and saga of your Sinus. Subscribed and cannot wait to see your flying adventures. Sorry to hear about the trailering difficulties, but they are understandable. If this were a Sinus FLEX, perhaps you could store the wings in a trailer in segments. Pipistrel makes a trailer for these beasts I believe. Also, I believe your prop is not "variable pitch," but of course it is featherable. You cannot change the prop pitch in powered flight. Am I right? Best wishes.
It is variable pitch, in flight. TO and cruise settings.
@@overlandworkshop Thank you. I stand corrected. I hope you are enjoying your Sinus. I haven't noticed any flying videos from you. Maybe I am missing something. I am subscribed.
Great stuff Andrew. I am surprised this can be VH registered instead of RAA..... having the VH rego opens it up to a few more places you can fly than RAA. Anyways, I love my flying videos... if I'm not watching 4X4 youtubers it's pilots flying in all sorts of aircraft (and paramotors and paragliders...). Will be good to see a bit more local aussie content. :)
It can be registered it’s a light sport aircraft from a certified manufacturer
OMG..
G: "don't drop the camera"
A: "I'm not that stupid"
Was this filmed before the troopy shakedown? RIP camera
Congratulations Andre and Gwynn. Question: Do you own the Amarok? What do you think of that?
we do not.
@@overlandworkshop 🤣 I get a strong sense you wanted to make a point of it by the way that's written!
Hi Andrew. What's the latest? Have you been able to get that bird registered and flying?
Hi Andrew nice aircraft. I think you are going to struggle to get CASA to register that bird if it doesn't have a recognised Type Certificate. That can be a CASA TC or CASA recognised EASA or FAA TC. If that isnt the case you will have to go through hoops to show it conforms with Airworthiness requirements under Part 21 and Part 23. This is to establish a Technical Certification Basis (TCB). So without a TC, you have your work cut out to achieve registration. Good luck.
Andrew don’t listen to haters they are arm chair warriors most of them with google fingers at the ready. You are a pioneer in all your projects and don’t let this one beat you.
Fly safe and love the new plane. ILS approach here you come!
Jean may I clarify your misguided comments with how light aircraft work and are registered in the real world with some points.
You state in your dire tribe that the aircraft will need certification. It is a certified aircraft if you bother to check.
You mention all sorts of vague parameters needing to be met without understanding simple facts which are the aircraft is a certified aircraft, has a certified engine (turbo Rotax as used in many high powered aircraft) and Europe approves them there!
Maybe a bit of logic should be used when commenting on such important aviation projects such as owning and flying an Aircraft. Please think before you make nonsensical comments in the future.
And I am a pilot myself I fly for a major airline and enjoy light planes as a hobby.
Hi Chris, thanks for the detailed reply. Its much appreciatted. I doubt you are an airline pilot.
Jean I think we do agree logic might be lost on you however at least try to stick to a point.
Aviation is a serious business and having a laugh at keyboard warriors is fun however not constructive.
I fly A380s and formally 747s. I do know what I’m talking about
Best of luck
Jean may I suggest looking at starting a diploma or equivalent focusing on aviation. It might be useful to help you get started in a career in the flying world. If you want my help I would be happy to advise.
A caramel wheel will clean off the stickers leaving no marks
hummm
Nah nah yeah it’s cool
Bugger the vehicles just fly hopping all over the place stopping at various towns
I've got to say, i like the way you think Andrew, have you done any personality test? What personality type are you?
جميله جدا وروعه اتمنى ان امتلك مثلها في بلدي العربيه اليمنيه
GPS not available 😂
Once a Safrican always a Safrican Boet.....
"white madness" - hah
