Your instructor is excellent!!

[@BenAtkinsonVideos]

He really is!!

[@RoryOnAir]

These are brilliant refreshers for current pilots and a really useful insight for those thinking to taking it up. Well done Ben, keep it up. 👍👍

[@BenAtkinsonVideos]

Rory On Air - cheers Rory, always great to get comments, especially such positive ones! I’ll keep them up!! 👍 I must have pointed 5 people to your audio video by now!

[@Planehazza]

@@BenAtkinsonVideos Yup, that video was very helpful for me too.

[@skyrangerswift2ireland]

Thanks for your videos, Ben. Recently got a Swift 2. Looking forward to flying it when the weather improves over here.

[@mikhix20]

Another good one well done.mick hick

[@stevehogg7873]

Very much enjoying these. You seem to be RACING through the syllabus. Thanks for posting.

[@BenAtkinsonVideos]

Steve Hogg - cheers Steve. It’s going well so far! I used to fly model Planes which has certainly sped up the process a little I think. But, still a lot to get through..!!!! I’ll keep posting the videos, for sure!

[@stevehogg7873]

Ben Atkinson wow. I should have done this! I’m learning to fly gliders and also going for NPPL with great western airsports near Trowbridge. Had my first lesson at Kemble in the Eurostar but the distance is just that bit too far for me (Somerset) although I am really tempted by the syndicate scheme once I qualify. I’m about 7 hours in but think it’s going to take a while. Loving the process though. I’m learning in an AX2000 which is tricky but I figure if I can fly one of them I can fly anything. Keep in touch as would be good to share insight with a fellow pupil! Cheers.

[@BenAtkinsonVideos]

Steve Hogg ahh very good. Yes keep in touch, and do let me know how you’re getting on !

[@Planehazza]

@@BenAtkinsonVideos It helps for sure. I've flown simulators for several thousand hours over the years, as well as flying RC fixed/rotary wing for a good decade. I don't mean to come across arrogant, but it has helped me considerably and I'm ahead of the game according to my instructor. It's nice to hear those compliments, but I know just how far I've got to go yet! :)

[@williamanderson1764]

As Rory mentioned. a great refresher. thanks Ben!

[@BenAtkinsonVideos]

William Anderson cheers William!

[@CJThePilot]

Its nice to see a style of aviation video that features your narration. I'm never happy enough with my voice overs to attempt anything like this :-)

[@daipower1]

Excellent Ben, thanks for taking the time to make them. Dai

[@BenAtkinsonVideos]

Hey Dai - it's a pleasure! Hopefully you're getting something from them? Is there anything further you'd like to see?

[@daipower1]

@@BenAtkinsonVideos Ben how do you record the audio? I am having difference training conversion from flexwing to 3 axis, learning on a C42 first and then onto our Skyranger so your videos are really appreciated. I have a GoPro 7 and would like to do the same as you so I can look back on my lessons.

[@BenAtkinsonVideos]

dai power I’ll refer you to the excellent Rory On Air who’s done a video on this, I use the ‘recording into a separate recording device’ method, it’s reliable but does require a fairly simple audio / visual sync post flight. But I believe this will save me hours of training.

[@daipower1]

@@BenAtkinsonVideos I have a different headset and interface, I will speak to the manufacturers

[@PBerry4032]

Another good video Ben. Those lessons coming thick and fast now. Good stuff.

[@BenAtkinsonVideos]

Cheers Paul. Hows your training going? Yeh they are! The videos are actually a week ahead - so next week's video is just in the edit now, more circuit work - with some interesting off and landing techniques!

[@PBerry4032]

Ben Atkinson Unfortunately the Training has stopped for now due to family stuff. Hoping to be able to pick it up again soon but very frustrating.

[@BenAtkinsonVideos]

Paul Berry ah sorry to hear that! Good luck to resuming soon

[@musoseven8218]

Great video again, great coverage and quality, really useful to all viewers. Some questions, if I may? Does the Skyranger have a heater as the pair of you look well wrapped up LOL! (I've heard they're a bit drafty around the doors?)? Does the Skyranger require rudder only in right banks, or left banks too? And is the ball still centred with such steep turns? As always it's great you've filmed these things for posterity's sake, ideal for students and those longer in the tooth too - thank you.

[@tomp6470]

Pretty sure you need rudder for any turn 15° +

[@rossanogimenes4017]

Hi Ben, thank you for share your flight classes. Which is the cruise speed of skyranger....? This plane likes very stable. Unfortunately the dealer in Brazil stopped to sale the kit

[@BenAtkinsonVideos]

Hey Rossano! Thanks for commenting. Cruising about 70/80knots

[@scissoroarscissoroar3214]

He needs to trim cruise descent and increase the pipers throttle

[@Planehazza]

It's easy to forget what even 2G feels like compared to normal 1G. God knows how fight pilots sustain 9G turns. That must really hurt.
