Her first flying lesson - Sub70 - Flexwing
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 сер 2024
- Michelle gets her first lesson, and most importantly, I get to give my first formal lesson. All the training, all the build up to over the past year has finally come to fruition. This lesson is the foundation to all the rest of the learning that Michelle will do and becomes a big foundation to the rest of the her flying.
I am absolutely loving my journey and have been really enjoying being able to finally share my passion for flying with others.
I hope you enjoy following Michelle's journey as much as I have putting it together and the link below will allow you to get to the Micro Training Facebook page.

Awesome, really enjoyed that mate, and props to Michelle for being brave enough to be in these!!
Hi Mike, thank you and I'm just glad I have a volume control. I think Michelle was more concerned with the camera angles🤔😂.
Watching this again. Well done Michelle!
Hi Tom, we keep trying to get Michelle back in the air.
All the internet only had your training and Paul Hamilton's Now Michelle's will be the third.
Well done her having her training recorded. Mussels are not needed on the sub 70, She will love it.
Hi Blue, I hope the videos will help others and thank you for the support to the channel. I still have your last message to read out but I haven't been able to fly on my own with all the dual seat flying, its a hard life... Haha.
Great to see somone else's journey to peabee and experiencing the same challenges.
Hopefully I can include you in the journey.
Awesome job Michelle! You're in good hands. Blue skies to you both!
Hi Todd, I pass on your comment.
You’re a braver man than me! Well done mate
I'm sure the journey will be fun.. I suppose ignorance is bliss.. Haha
Well what can I say, you came over just as I thought you would, primative sky god 🙂 Great video and thank Michelle so allowing us to follow her putting up with you thrusting a camera at her.
Hi Algy, I think I'm just as nervous but I'm enjoying the journey. Michelle is a natural on Camera.
@@GolfFoxtrot22 Best of luck to both of you as you both grow into your new flying journeys.
Really great video Giles. Very interesting and informative and well done and thank you Michelle for letting us share your journey. 😎👍
Hi Tim, thank you and I'll make sure Michelle is aware of your supportive comment. It's been fun so far and I'm sure more is to be had along the way.
This is great content mate, I'm in for all of these. 👍👍
Hi Paul, I always appreciate a comment, and your support and feedback on my content.
I'll prepare the invoice. 👍
More Pilots! 👍👍👍From what I was reading in MF mag there is a bit of a dearth in Instructors. So, well done for helping with that. Nice coaching style.
Hi Martin, it always good to share the passion of flying and this is definitely an amazing next step I'm my flying journey and being able to also share Michelle's is a privilege.
Great vid. Just shows how much there is to it. Not as simple as some may think. 👏
There is certainly a lot going on and helping the student generate a good foundation is very important.
Good lesson 👍
Since the control bar is so high for her smaller frame her arms are more up than pointed out. Maybe a seat cushion to raise her up to give more strength in controlling?
Cheers
The Quantum bar does sit quite high anyway but we have looked into moving her forward.
Great video 😃 looks like Michelle enjoyed that one, deffo cushion required 🤔
It takes a few flights to work out what is needed, but I think we had it sorted on the next flight. I appreciate the feedback.
Great stuff, Giles. Still can't quite believe you're in the instructor's seat. 🙂
HI Dan, yes it's still a bit surreal but wonderful at the same time.
Looking forward to watch this journey. Don’t be scared to share longer videos with all the details :-) I have 70hours on Air Creation Tanarg, but still learning a lot.
Hi Jindrich, the video length is always a balance as most (UA-cam statistics) only watch about 50%. I still only make them for fun and I'm glad you want to join my next journey. Have you been watching for a while?
@@GolfFoxtrot22 Hi, I completaly understand. I watch your youtube channel since your journy :-), I had another account before. You make great and truly unique content as only really a few people from all around the world does similar content around this beautiful flying.
I see this also as an another education for me, so I can fly save. If you would consider detailed theory training (online) this could be really hit on the youtube:-) Platforms like Patreon are ideal for such content.
@@jindrichrosicka908 I'm actually working with my current school to provide only tuition. Have a look for Micro Training on Facebook. Thank you for your kind words and support to the channel.
@@GolfFoxtrot22 Many thanks, I’ll check the facebook.
Well Giles you seem to have settled into this instructing malarkey very well, your a natural! Are we going to be following this lovely lady throughout her sub 70 journey?
Hello David, I am really enjoying teaching and yes I will be vlogging Michelle's Sub70 journey.
Your a good instructor Giles 👍🇦🇺
Hi Paul, good to see you back here. I do try.
Awesome video ! So much fun ! Beautiful flying weather ! We smashed that "Like" button real hard !
Hi Allan, we did have a good spell of weather, then nearly 3 weeks or wind, rain and fog. Thanks for liking the video, your support to the channel is always appreciated.
Absolutely great video Giles. You are going to be a great CFI! Michelle, you have a fantastic smile and I hope you enjoy your flight training!👍
Hi Traveller, I'm definitely enjoying the journey and it's been great fun teaching Michelle, even in these early lessons.
@@GolfFoxtrot22 Awesome. Look forward to your training videos in the future.
That was brilliant! You're a born natural Giles.
I hope it continues with the rest of her journey.
We can fly a four ship when she's signed off.
Great stuff, Giles & Michelle. I sympathise with Michelle finding the bar tough at times - practising continuous circuits on the GT450 left me shaking! By comparison, she will find the sub-70 machine a delight to handle! I shall watch her journey with interest. John
Hi John, I read your message out to Michelle, she is looking forward to flying the Sub70 machine and I agree with you the GT450 is a bit of a handful if you are not used to it.
Charming, interesting video👍😊
Hi Muso, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Hopefully more to come, I just need the time edit. 😁
@@GolfFoxtrot22 I'll be watching, thanks👍😊
Its going to be a great journey...lucky Michelle.
Hi Al, I hope I can document enough.
I have a feeling that watching this over the next few weeks will make me want to part with my hard earned cash…..
Hi Lee, I hope to get some more flights edited but the weather has hindered us flying. Its a wonderful way to fly though.
Deja vu back to my first lesson in March. 17 hours and including 5 solo so far and hoping to get my cross country flights done next lesson.
I did notice in this video that it appears neither of you have shoulder harnesses on, would be good to get your thoughts on the reasons.
Hello Martin, I hadn't forgotten about your comment and needed to research the bigger picture on your question about shoulder straps. In short if the passenger is in the rear seat they are to wear the full harness. There was a significant accident back in 2001, following the AAIB investigation the CAA pushed out a mandatory fitment of shoulder straps to the aircraft and now is an aircraft permit check that they are fitted. Regarding instruction from the rear seat, if the shoulder straps are used, the PIC or instructor is physically unable to have full control of the aircraft, which makes it unsafe. Each aircraft PoH will have specifics on whether it is a "should" or "must" be used for flight. I hope that helps answer your question and again, sorry for the delay in getting back to you.
mate I'm looking to start up lessons, where are you based? I'm in Nuneaton.
Hi Russ, the School I work at is based at Darley Moor Airfield. Look up MicroAviation.co.uk I hope that helps, and it's not that far from Nuneaton.
What handles turbulence better flexwing or 3 axis fixed wing?
I'd say they handle turbulence just as well. I've flown all kinds over the last 30 years and I'd say it's down to the pilots bump tolerance that wins in most instances. In the Flexwing the wing moves around a lot but the trike doesn't. In the 3 axis, if the wing moves, you are definitely moving with it.
@@GolfFoxtrot22 yeah i noticed that opinions on turbulence are very different from pilot to pilot in ultralight aviation. Some say " it's very harsh" and some say "it's perfectly fine" but they all agree that gyrocopter handles turbulence the best. How does peabee handle turbulence?
@DK Danis I've never flown a Gyrocopter. In the 90s they had the highest fatality rate in Germany, so as a kid that kind of put me off. I'm not sure why they are so expensive. The ones I see in the UK are around £100k new... 🤷♂️. Are you a Gyro pilot?
@@GolfFoxtrot22 No I'm not any kind of pilot i'm just curious about aviation. Gyrocopters are safe now. Things that made them dangerous are fixed now. Problem was older ones had high thrust line that could cause bunt over when pilot makes negative g. Newer ones have center thrust line plus stabilizer and they can't buntover.
I still couldn't afford one. I'm very happy with my Peabee flexwing.
Michelle does look a little petite in there.
If only we were all your height Chris.. Haha
You're flooding her brain with to many requests and commands, she needs to settle in more gently than that.
When you see an edited video, you don't get the full time line of the information flow. I cut out all the quiet parts as its not really entertaining. I hope that clarifies why it might seem that way.
Do you get paid by words/minute. Slow down man. The poor woman is getting steam rollered with your patter.
This was a long time ago and we all improve over time. 😁, and yes. I am slower now.
did Michelle ever finish her training?
@@steeptakeoff we are trying to encourage her to get back to flying, she doesn't like the cold and always prioritises customers needs over her own. She does want to but is always busy running the business.
