G'day, I’m Stewart and welcome aboard.
This channel is my aviation adventures as a trike pilot.
ko-fi.com/stewartriddell/gallery

🛩 Fly with me in my aircraft, the P&M QuikR 912ULS (Rotax 100hp 4-stroke).
Specs;
✈ 90 kt trim
✈ 1,500 feet per minute climb
✈ 10,000 ft
✈ 11.43m strutted wing
✈ 2 POB
✈ Factory built UK 2018, rebuilt as new 2022.

🇳🇿 I live in Queensland, Australia, surrounded by awesome ocean landscapes, the top place to fly in the world.

A little goes a long way to help. Flying & filming (+rebuilding aircraft) are all costly.

    KZread told me to watch your "sinkhole" video. This is my second video, and I would just like to say that is the coolest overpowered ultralight I've ever seen! While I'm not an engineer, I suspect the bag of chips burst because you have a leak in the cabin that the cabin pressurization system can't keep up with. I could be wrong. ;)

    I am just learning, the pilot i am learning with is from a cross country gliding background but we fly from an airstrip on the south coast that is very similar in that we have big ranges to the west, to the east the ocean runs parallel to the main runway, the river is at the southern end and its almost entirely surrounded by bush, as a glider pilot he reinforces 2 main things to me, always plan for an out and have plenty of air speed to counter variables close to the ground, as a student my take is not enough safety speed to counter rotor being produced by the trees and thick scrub on the approach, we encounter these conditions almost every time we fly down here. Most notably when landing north to south with west to north westerly wind, its like the bush slows the wind and it hits the airfield clearing and comes from anywhere often kicking from behind, the other condition we encounter when landing into a headwind is when it almost disappears suddenly when we drop in and airspeed goes down dramatically in an instant. I am taught to pay attention to ground speed as well as airspeed when landing but always it is hammered into me, safety speed when landing. I have watched so many of your videos and learnt plenty from you sharing your experiences thanks for being passionate about the craft and opening your flying life to us, you will be better than ever after this experience, i sincerely hope you never stop flying

    I think that's because a loop is a very stressful maneuver for these old aircraft, and they are trying to make them last as long as possible.

    Fuel in an aircraft is a measure of time. For me in no wind, at 15L/hr, and 75kts (140kph), approx 18L. It will take ~1.1 hours.

    I will always remember flying over lake Windimere and the rest of the lakes district in my flexwing at 13,500ft about 30 years ago. I could have gone higher but I'd be getting into Amber One. It was Easter Monday on a lovely sunny clear day that you only get in Spring. I did use some Wave lift to help to get up there, I could see all 4 countries of the UK plus the Isle of Man. Yes it was very cold but Ihad my thermal gear on. I remember looking down on the tiny specs that were boats on the lake and thinking, they are getting away from it all. But I am really getting away from it all.

    Where did you get 2 years? This happened in one morning. On the Monday 11am, 3rd June. Underwater landslides occur along this shoreline about every 2-4 years. Please dont accuse people of lying and click bait when they arent. Apparently hundreds of youtubers do it and no one cares. I have stated the facts.

    @@CrayonboxAviationAdventures well, I do apologize. When I first watched this there was zero audio. So, I heard no explanation of anything. That being said, the massive crater in the thumbnail image was never shown, and could not exist as portrayed. This did bias my beliefs to begin with, and when I’d no audio(I’ve no idea why, it’s there when I went to view after your response), it seemed to support it.

    Flying through turbulence is like driving over speed bumps or railroad tracks. The fast you go the harder it is on aircraft (car) & you. The obvious difference between cars & aircraft is you can see speed bumps & tracks coming. Another obvious affect is bumps you can't see coming will startle the crap out of you. Therefore, slow is smooth, smooth is less fatiguing (and enjoyable). What's better: being startled & scared shitless or occasional tickles in the tummy?

    Always interesting to see comparisons. Did think of getting a GT450 but as mentioned there are a lot of things to consider not least of which is cost (though a new Nine isn't cheap 😂) and things like transport and storage / hanger space. Have yet to do any serious flying in my Nine so I look firsts to finding out for myself.

    Hi Stewart. Thanks for the shout out. Even though our machines are so different in many ways, it was still interesting to see the comparison. My aircraft will fly around 48 NM in an hour (in still air) and burn 5l of fuel giving me a Nm/Litre of 9.6 Nm/L. Not surprisingly more economical than yours. Of course, I don’t have much of the equipment on board that you do, I am slower and the big one being I can’t take a passenger but the major advantage for me is initial purchase price and running costs. It’s swings and roundabouts as we say in the UK. Thanks again for the mention. 👍
