Perth to Glenforsa in my Eurofox

As part of the LAA Tour of Scotland in May 2022, I flew from Perth in eastern Scotland across the beautiful landscape to the western coast, then turned north to overfly Jura and Mull before continuing over Staffa and up to the Ardnermurchan peninsular. After a fantastic flight in glorious weather it was time to land at beautiful Glenforsa on the Isle of Mull.
This flight concentrates on the scenery. There is minimal commentary and I have removed radio chatter unless directly relevant to this flight.
The eagle-eyed will note that our EFIS Dynon D6 is broken; we are replacing with a Garmin G5 but in the meantime I flew with the portable D5 unit from my gyro to provide horizon reference should the weather deteriorate.

Great video! I live in Brazil, this aircraft is very beautiful.

Nice vid, nice wee plane, lovely scenery, appreciate you posting, but...stop changing the viewpoint so quickly and so often, give us a chance to look about a bit!! I was getting seasick... ;o)

What a day to make this trip, great video, thanks.

[@StuWithAView]

Thanks Gordan. I was very fortunate, but the weather turned foul later in the day causing me to cut short the trip and head home early.

@@StuWithAView That's a shame but GB weather is fickle.

[@btk1]

ooh, I've been thinking of signing up to learn gyrocopters at Perth for a few years now. This was good to see. That little Eurofox looks a ton of fun.

[@StuWithAView]

Go for it 😊👍

[@dennismurphy746]

Thanks for a great video. Can I ask how you managed to get black bezels for your top air vents?

[@StuWithAView]

The aircraft came with those bezels.

Excellent video, Stu! I would like to echo Lee's comments - thank you for taking the time to record your journey and produce the video. Between you and The Flying Reporter you have inspired me to go flying more and to try my hand at video recording my flights. Thank you very much. When will you be publishing your next video?!

[@StuWithAView]

Thank you 😊. I have a large backlog of videos that need editing; just need to find the time…

[@halfrhovsquared]

You went to Perth, the gyro-capital of Scotland... in the Eurofox?? Sacrilege...! Sheer sacrilege !!! ;)

[@StuWithAView]

Haha; well I know that now… next time 😁

Another great video Stu ! Do you use the go pro app to edit the 360 footage? How do you manage the large video files of the 360 footage of flights when editing ? Cheers, Lee.

[@StuWithAView]

Thanks Lee. When I first started shooting 360 with a single Max camera, I did use the iOS app. Nowadays I download to external USB drives and reframe on PC using the GoPro player PC app; there is just too much data for phone editing. I ended up with 400GB of footage just from my two Max cameras on this 2-day trip.

@@StuWithAView thanks, I’ve not managed to edit a flying video from 360 footage yet purely due to video size and time it takes. I’ll give it a go one day but need larger usb and SD cards I guess. I appreciate the time you’ve put into the editing and set up to get this video together. I’ve just published my first flight through Snowdonia after some inspiration from your gyro videos through Snowdonia, keep up the good work mate 👍

[@StuWithAView]

@@comeflywithlee433 I've just watched your Snowdonia video; nicely done. We are so fortunate to get to fly through this scenery. I was out there in my gyro a couple of days ago.

[@comeflywithlee433]

@@StuWithAView we certainly are & thanks for the kind words 👍
