Well David that was a textbook class in how to perform a Check Flight. It was conveyed in a clear and precise manner that comes from a very skilled instructor. It also will be used by many microlight pilots to watch and hone there skills especially after this long shutdown. So on behalf of my fellow aviators ,thank you.

Thanks very much for watching and commenting...I had to pin this comment as I couldn't agree more, really was textbook.

Never fails to impress me, the smoothness and control these instructors show is beautiful. Man and machine Completely at one and in sync with each other, love watching an expert at work with his tools in any trade( obviously flying the best one tho!)

It was very enjoyable and interesting to see your Instructor David Young in fully Check Pilot mode.

Hi Ben, that was definitely a 2 brew video. It's always good to see different sides of the testing. I always wondered if it had aileron trim, now I know where it is. I did like the comment.."And nothing fell off".

Great video , superb advert for the sport. The max vne cruise was interesting - some vibration and minor chattering evident , not sure if that was the airframe or David's teeth working loose 😁 Didn't realise the Sky Ranger had aileron trim .
