Guessing it was an issue with oil circulation? Not seen that one myself, usually it's low oil pressure and high oil temp that is a bad sign. Well handled and good call to return.
i had this issue on a night student solo flight luckily was not completely at red zone but way to high for comfort being in the middle of farm land very little lighted areas. thankfully oil pressure returned to green. Its no fun staring at black planning where to land should there be an engine failure! great job mate!
Good video Rob, out of interest is that a pair of GoPros you're using? if so what model. I'm gussing the video stabilisation almost makes it look like they are gimbal mounted especially when the content is sped up. Just curious.
Hi Rob, great video, I'll be in touch via email about maybe getting something on the club website about this, I think it's a useful experience to share! Thanks
@@RobHolmes8 Yeah - fairplay. I asked because, whilst thinking about it safely on the ground, I agree it was the right situation to. But if I was in your shoes, I may well have just turned around telling myself it was nothing! Helps to learn from though. If similar happens to me in future (fingers crossed not!) I think I'm more likely to make the call.
@@RobHolmes8 I flew a C42 from Perranporth for a while, and even when operating from the tarmac we always took off with the first stage of flap because that's what the POH recommends.

I believe it was a faulty gauge or wiring issue in the end, but I'm not completely sure 😅 thanks for the watch and kind words 🙌

Out of curiosity did you Pan Pan this?

Do I need a license to fly one of these?
why did you use 1 stage of flap, when you were airborne before the numbers? not really required.
