I FLEW TO THE ISLES OF SCILLY IN A FLEXWING MICROLIGHT!!!

[@ajwalou-nack2343]

Bloody hell . Good to see the islands again after nearly 37 years. I used to live in higher town St Martin's and you just went over my old cottage. I haven't been back there since 1987 . I think of the islands nearly every day and I was so happy to see it again. You don't see much when they do tourist information. Had to leave as there was no work and everything is set up now for the rich .look forward to some more videos

[@trev.lee.adventure]

It sure is a wonderfull place

[@glennoc8585]

That's a pity that it's a place only for the rich. I used to live near st Ives and it's much the same

[@glennoc8585]

What's the maximum cross wind for you're microlight on the runway departure?

[@ajwalou-nack2343]

@@glennoc8585 makes you sick doesn't it ? Soon there will be no places where normal everyday folk can go. I left St Martin's and went to Porthcawl in South Wales . Even there the prices are shooting up .

[@SussexYank]

What fun! I've always thought flying one of these little aircraft would be a marvelous experience. It's a hobby I can't get into any longer, but if I can fly with you here on KZbin, that will be enough.

[@trev.lee.adventure]

I'm glad I can share it with you 😊

Having come across your trip to Lundy Island yesterday, a quick follow up with the Isles of Scilly, looks wonderful and just added to my "bucket list". Thank you :)

Wonderful go for it

The algorithm did it's job and brought new eyes to microlight flying. Utterly amazing! The views are spectacular. I was also enchanted by the Scilly Isles. Their tourism board should thank you.

[@trev.lee.adventure]

Awesome, thank you!

[@fosty148]

Brought back great memories of day trips to the IoS from Bodmin with my father at the controls of his Piper Cherokee. I can honestly say that it does look like the Caribbean, having honeymooned in Antigua. It could, quite possibly, be nicer, especially St. Martins.

[@andrewbroughton-tompkins5672]

Reminded me of three times across the channel from Goodwood to Cherbourg in my home built Renegade microlight...an hour out of sight of land. Butterflies for two days beforehand...glad I did that, but never again!!

In 2001 I was one of ten passengers that flew on the skybus, a Britten Norman Islander from St Just airfield, my seat was just behind the pilot and I had a great view, your video bought back happy memories, we spent 4 days there then flying back on the same route, and yes it is spectacular, haven't been back since , but thanks for sharing Trev, it is a special place isn't it.

[@MrSham61]

Lundy and now the Scillies, I've been to both but your aerial shots take them both to another level. What are your take off and landing speeds, the buffeting when you were coming into land must be rather disconcerting?Fascinated with this side of flying, great presentation and video .

[@trev.lee.adventure]

On a normal runway I would rotate at around 60 mph. On landing I approach at 75 to 80 mph and touch down at 50 mph

I love your channel. Brilliant stuff. I'd love to do that. I remember the same amazement as I approached the isle's by air. It's spectacular. I'd of loved to do it by microlight. How much does it.cost in fuel and fees to conduct a trip like that. Do you travel down to the take off airfields via car and trailer or fly airfield to airfield. How long did you stay on the islands ..did you explore via boat to the smaller islands... I have so many questions for you. I'd love to attempt that ..but fear the costs and my ability would hinder me... So cool to see it through you. Do you have a parachute... I must stop asking questions ... Thanks for the chance to experience this in a way. Keep it up legend

Great video. I personally am not a lover of the music and would like to hear the radio and flight sounds. I would love to see how you control the aircraft for example how do you steer while on the ground and what are all the controls. Also and maybe not the best but what happens in an emergency for example if the engine gave way etc. Stay well and happy fights James
