Test Flight of Skyranger Nynja G-SNUG

[@TheKarlos76]

Nice to finally see SNUG at a sunny St' Michaels Airfield, she looks even better up close!!!

[@johnfielding001]

Thanks Karl. It was at Priory Farm Airfield in south Norfolk. Can't believe it was nearly 5 years ago.

Interesting build and test flight video. As an aside, the song track 2/3rds of the way through? Is that Pentangle's version of 'Light Flight', or a cover?

[@johnfielding001]

Thanks Muso. Yes, it is Pentangle. Light Flight (Theme from Take Three Girls) on the album, Basket of Light.

how long did it take you to build it?

[@johnfielding001]

About six months

Looks superb !Surely the best UK Nynja ever made?

[@doncatchpole]

Congrats

[@johnfielding001]

Thank you very much, Don. We've moved onto a new Nynja 600kg since this one but I've not made any videos featuring it ... yet.

So where do you buy this kind of thing?

+Matthew Miller www.flylight.co.uk/ You'll need a pilot's licence to fly one!

Great

[@johnfielding001]

Thank you, Captain

[@rustynuts4426]

From my research it costs around £50k inc tax to finish one

[@johnfielding001]

That would be about right

@@johnfielding001 Thank you John, planning on doing the same but have a couple of years or so to get finances together.

[@johnfielding001]

@@rustynuts4426 I didn't have much to do with it but apparently the paperwork involved was a bit of a nightmare. Flylight are now doing a factory built Nynja which I think my syndicate partner and me would have bought had it been available five years ago.

[@rustynuts4426]

@@johnfielding001 ah ok that might be a better option, like I say I'm a couple of years away from being in the financial position required. I don't mind the paperwork, I'm aware that multiple inspections are required throughout the build. But at least I have the option of factory build if I choose to go down that route. I'm 37 atm with no NPPL yet, I did try to learn at Kemble but a fantastic level of bad luck with the weather resulted in 9 cancellations and 1 lesson. I may try there again, or I may look at Gloucester. I'm currently studying the ppl books whilst in lock down.
