    Brilliant Giles another great video and looking forward to part 3. Glad you managed to get a couple of circuits in when the wind calmed down. The windsock still looked pretty lively just after you had landed so well done.

    • @GolfFoxtrot22
      @GolfFoxtrot22  7 місяців тому +1

      Hi Lee, it was a little lively but a few mph lower than when I decided to not fly in the Demo slot. Because it was just circuits, there was less pressure and I could get used to the new machine. TEM is a good thing to use as a tool to keep us safe. Part 3 is an interview with Larry and Amy Mednick.

I assembled a trailer from a kit to potentially carry a Sub70 when I buy one and on the way back from taking it on it’s maiden voyage a fellow ran into it with his truck and bent it. Aluminum doesn’t fare too well when bending it a lot, so have to buy new parts! My stepfather was a Pitt Panther and my niece graduated from Penn State. I’ve only ever driven through PA or flown over it.

    Nice one Giles. I guess the Larry Mednick interview is yet to come? I looked at the Revo microlight from Evolution years ago and it’s an impressive machine. Very well built. But unfortunately not available UK. Which is a great shame. His positive comments on parts of the trike design in vid 1 were interesting. Ben should have put a patent on it.

    The flex wing community is different and is the Sub 70 and SSDR and micro light but at Northrepps we all get along.
    Love the Dingo race, now that is very much in the idea of SSDR unlike my aircraft, I may have to look at one next for the Paramotor type days / summer evening potter. PS crashing aircraft would not help sales so good choice not to fly the demo.
