Another fantastic video Ben! Thank you for featuring us and helping us show the world our Grob 109B Able :)

Great vid Ben, loving the new content!

Nice aeroplane, great upgrades too (new lease of life), a bit more complex than Eg a Rotax in a FW microlight, but a nice learning curve, dunking a toe in the waters of complex types and, of course, motorgliders. Thanks for sharing 👍😊

[@PlaneOldBen]

Thanks, Muso.

[@JoeRichardson02]

Excellent video Ben, and a very slick airplane!

[@PlaneOldBen]

Thanks for the ride down there, Joe!

I very much wish to thank you for this! I am disabled myself--nice to see aerobility is watching out for 'us!'

[@PlaneOldBen]

That’s great to hear, Christopher!

Shame the RAF couldn’t do something similar with them. The instruction in your gliding videos made me cringe, but the instruction in this one is excellent, no riding the controls, away from stick during none critical phases, covering the stick forward to protect the nose / prop etc. Really knows his aircraft. Top marks lol.

[@shaunwheeler3484]

Its a pity Grob won't sell the pieces parts to upgrade other Grob 109s to the Rotax package.
