      It can be very time consuming but I tend to get lost in the edit and re-live the entire flight so it doesn’t feel like the amount of effort! Must be similar for you! Thanks for the kind words, Tim. As soon as the weather picks up we should meet up somewhere!

    See you noticed that air movement and its direction is not always the same. Did Anna get too cool from the A/C in the motel with the long sleeves on the next leg of the trip? Ha! Ha! So much future fun. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day.

    Highly recommend the two part door upgrade, so you can fly with the top half open - Skyranger aircon ;-)

    • @LetsGoFlying
      @LetsGoFlying  Рік тому

      Haha you have just set me off now - that thought hadn't occurred to me until then lol! I do like the idea of the split door but I would imagine it lets double the rain in when it rains?

    • @airbornebloke8336
      @airbornebloke8336 Рік тому

      Hi Nik. My Skyranger has the 2 piece doors, i've not noticed any rainwater getting in. They're definitely useful aircon on a hot day either on the ground or in the air.

    I imagine the gliders at Hus Bos were taking advantage of the thermal activity. Hope you both have a good '24. Looking forward to more of your videos. Anna seems to be getting very enthusiastic about the flying. Think she's been bitten by the bug?

    • @LetsGoFlying
      @LetsGoFlying  Рік тому +1

      It was a funny old leg from WW to Leics. It was generally quite smooth except for a few pockets of very lively air but yes - definitely a day for gliders! Anna really enjoyed that trip and it did wonders for her confidence. I find I’m a reflection of my passenger - if my passenger is stressed or uncomfortable it affects me too!

    Is it much cooler once you get up in the air? I seem to recall something like a 2 degree reduction for every 1000 feet. Do you get much airflow through the cockpit?

    • @LetsGoFlying
      @LetsGoFlying  Рік тому

      It is usually cooler but It wasn't that weekend! I am sure there was a temperature inversion as well. The airflow is good but there comes a point where you can have all the airflow you want, its still 32 degree air being blow in your face 🤣. Thanks for watching!

    Been watching a bunch of your videos and gathered an interest in the skyrangers, one thing I'm super curious about though, is how do you check the Oil? Do you have to remove the cowling for every pre-flight?

    • @LetsGoFlying
      @LetsGoFlying  Рік тому

      Thank you and welcome to the channel! Yeah you check the oil on pre flight checks. I would always remove the top cowl before I fly to check a list of items you can’t see without removing it.

    • @brcreswell
      @brcreswell Рік тому

      ​@@LetsGoFlyingawesome thank you, is the cowl hinged or do you have to remove a bunch of screws each time to remove it? I recently looked at a skyranger classic, and it was all screws, but I didn't know if there's a newer option for a latch or something
