I adore you two!

ASPW: I am not that stupid Gwynn: if you say so bunny 🐰

Andrew really inspired by your last vid. Keep them coming! I remember working on test flights and it was brutal. Thankfully I get to train pilots and enjoy small planes. I’ve flown 747s and fly A380! Looking forward to you conquering the skies with your new bird. Ignore the keyboard warriors! They will always exist!

Very cool bunny 😂

Wonderful addition to your stable. Loved your banter with Gwynn about "the mountain". Enjoy!

Cute couple.

Good onya!

Now all you need is your 2-litre coke, 3 litre Ford and you Klippies! All joking aside I love your channel and vids.

I always had this dream of buying a Sinus motorglider. All Pipistrel aircraft are amazing but the Sinus is the one I dream of. Flying all day long for pennies while that propeller is feathered. Congratulations from Santiago, Chile.

In 2014 I took possession of a touring motor glider (Phoenix U-15) with the Rotax 912 ULS. I had been a long time glider pilot and was accustomed to trailering them to distant soaring venues as the seasons made them advantageous. Upon taking delivery and after the transition training my glider friends asked what kind of trailer I would keep it in. Like you, I had come to the obvious conclusion that I "didn't need no stinkin' trailer". The Phoenix had an engine that could take us to the desired locations at 120 Kt, and there were auto rental options all over the country (USA) with direct service to the general aviation airports I most often frequent. Since then we've been up and down the entire east coast of USA from Maine to Florida several times, and had one epic journey from Atlanta, GA to Northern California, with return across a more northerly route to the east coast near NY City. My only disappointment being that I can't fit my road bicycle into the plane without near total disassembly ... not worth the bother... but none the less have been able to rent good bikes at some destinations. In worst case scenario that you need to retrieve your plane, should it become disabled far from spare parts and repair facility, it can be fairly easily secured into largish rental truck. The trick being to have a couple of solid planks or metal ramps, strong rope, and a hand crank winch to load the fuselage into the truck and straps and padded moving blankets to secure the load. Have fun! I certainly have. Renting a camper at select destinations is a good idea.

Excited

What a smart looking piece of kit. Definitely 4x"OVER"LAND .. ,now !

You're both looking great. Looks like you've trimmed up. Well done! Marty from Perth

Woo hoo exciting times ahead can't wait to see your adventures in the powered glider

Come and visit us out at Cunderdin aerodrome sometime where we fly gliders on the weekends!

Wow that's awesome Andrew, wish I'd seen this earlier.... Bombadier to pilot, over target now... O.o

What a moment watching it for the first time.Iooking forward to the variety of the content by the new addition to the channel.Thanks for sharing and taking us along

thank you for share good luck further plan and joy life dreams

Bravo.thenks

Cool, love motor gliders.

Very exciting, enjoy..

Well done Andrew. AlphaSieraWhisky would have been cool too.

Congratulation on Your new aircraft Andrew. Looking forward to some cool videos from the sky

Andrew, FIY, the machines are called Reach Stackers. Greetings from a former operator/ driver of those. Different port, same job.

Love this!!! My child dream was fly a plane, my job as photojournalist give some fantastic experiences and fly for my self a plane, just for a couple minutes, was a fantastic experience. glad to learn more about plane with you.

Fantastic content

Back in the mid 80's I used to transport ultra-lights around in a enclosed trailer. Biggest problem we had was cross winds lifting the trailer. It never took very high winds to cause problems. Something to consider if you go down that route.

Seeing you are making a custom trailer, surely you can make the shape fit the glider - put the wings inside, and make the sidewalls lean, so it's truncated triangular in shape to prevent the wind lifting the trailer?

wonderful video. that's art. no spectacular angles, just two normal people talking about airplane an potato

I would design a custom trailer! I don't know what the regulations will be like in AUS but I'm sure that everything can be transported in one single customized trailer.

Quite interesting to watch your video! Am Kenyan aviation enthusiast with aircraft engineering dream since childhood...How i wish could get sponsored for a visit there and help in your workshop in Australia!!!

What a cute couple you are! Very exciting video and saga of your Sinus. Subscribed and cannot wait to see your flying adventures. Sorry to hear about the trailering difficulties, but they are understandable. If this were a Sinus FLEX, perhaps you could store the wings in a trailer in segments. Pipistrel makes a trailer for these beasts I believe. Also, I believe your prop is not "variable pitch," but of course it is featherable. You cannot change the prop pitch in powered flight. Am I right? Best wishes.

Well if you change the gps to WA Oz English it will tell you... look at the effen dessert, mate. If you need some space 150km from you, we have a lot space here in the wheat belt. 😎

Great stuff Andrew. I am surprised this can be VH registered instead of RAA..... having the VH rego opens it up to a few more places you can fly than RAA. Anyways, I love my flying videos... if I'm not watching 4X4 youtubers it's pilots flying in all sorts of aircraft (and paramotors and paragliders...). Will be good to see a bit more local aussie content. :)

OMG.. G: "don't drop the camera" A: "I'm not that stupid" Was this filmed before the troopy shakedown? RIP camera

Hi Andrew. What's the latest? Have you been able to get that bird registered and flying?

Congratulations Andre and Gwynn. Question: Do you own the Amarok? What do you think of that?

Hi Andrew nice aircraft. I think you are going to struggle to get CASA to register that bird if it doesn't have a recognised Type Certificate. That can be a CASA TC or CASA recognised EASA or FAA TC. If that isnt the case you will have to go through hoops to show it conforms with Airworthiness requirements under Part 21 and Part 23. This is to establish a Technical Certification Basis (TCB). So without a TC, you have your work cut out to achieve registration. Good luck.

A caramel wheel will clean off the stickers leaving no marks

hummm

Bugger the vehicles just fly hopping all over the place stopping at various towns

Nah nah yeah it’s cool

جميله جدا وروعه اتمنى ان امتلك مثلها في بلدي العربيه اليمنيه

I've got to say, i like the way you think Andrew, have you done any personality test? What personality type are you?

GPS not available 😂

Once a Safrican always a Safrican Boet.....

"white madness" - hah

Your like a kid in a candy store ....eh

Was nice up to the point where you made fun about South Africans…
