So happy you enjoyed the video! Gosh, I can imagine how much you miss it. I feel like we are just starting to scratch the surface of what is possible here. There is so much to see!

You guys have such invigorating experiences. The skies the limit (Douglas Bader). I grew up in Africa. Brings back memories…..well done 👌🏻

Agreed, great video and you two are adorable.

Explain please. Useful load. Also, what’s flight time difference between it and commercial. They’ve made me a believer. Plus in these Covid times i think I’d prefer to fly myself around. I’m doing my research since seeing these two. But I know nothing … for now. But they’ve opened my eyes to the possibilities. Really.. you have choice between a sling 2 and a Land Cruiser Prado.. I think the sling wins 10/10

@@lezzgp The useful load is the difference between the planes basic empty weight and its maximum gross weight. In other words, the useful load is the combined weight of all fuel, oil, baggage and passengers/crew you can take with you on a trip. For many general aviation aircraft useful load is such that you need to compromise somewhere. You can either fly your 2-seat airplane for 5 hours but take no passenger with you or you can decide to take a passenger but now you can not take baggage and are limited to two hours before you have to refuel as you have to start your trip with a half empty fuel tank. Starting your trip over maximum gross weight is dangerous as your airplanes performance suffers dramatically in several ways. You would need more runway, your stall-speed increases, the plane does not want to climb and you can overload the plane structurally in turbulence causing an in-flight break up. The Sling 2's useful load is seriously impressive as it can take two people with fuel for 10 hours. That is all you will probably ever need or want unless you fly in extremely remote areas. The flight time difference is very difficult to answer. Airliners fly at anywhere between roughly 2 to 8 times the speed of a small airplane. Small airplanes can be really slow - like 70 mph - or surprisingly fast at well over 300 mph. The time in the air also is only half of the story. Time from arriving at the airport until you are airborne can often be shorter for your small airplane. Many people have a smaller airport nearby, where they can start their trip with a Sling but not an airliner. The same could be true for your destination... . If you look at the total time for a trip from your home to a destination flying a small plane in many regions can be close to or sometimes faster than flying commercial. Commercial has one big advantage though - they can fly in pretty bad weather. There are general aviation aircraft and private pilots that can do that as well, but not every aircraft and not every pilot can. The plane has to be equipped for it and the pilot needs further training and a bit of experience to do that.

@@resaca5367 that is such a comprehensive response. Either I’m good at asking questions or you really know your stuff. In a nut shell, you answered everything I wanted to know. Thank you so much. You’ve made the job easier. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

HAHA TOO MANY BEERS

Thank you!! This makes me super happy to hear, I hope you continue pursuing your aviation dream. The world is here for you to explore!

🤣😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😂👌🏿

Awhhhh dankjewel Maren!! We hebben zo'n schik gehad tijdens deze vlucht en daarom was het nog leuker om de vlog te editen. volgende filmpje wordt ook heel mooi!!

Thanks again! Always great to have you at the premiere. So special that you all came to support and watch the new vlog :)

This means the world to me, thank you for your kind words!!

Dankjewel Luc!! Ik hoop nog vele avonturen op deze manier te mogen delen!

So happy you enjoy the videos!

@@PilotBambi U often fly out of the Cape Town area.Jst curious, why did u opt to train at 43 Air instead of Say Cape Town flying club or Stellenbosch?

Haha thanks Fabien!! Gosh, just imagine the freedom of travelling here with a trike. I think you would have a blast!

So glad you liked it!! Really motivated to create more content this year. All the best to you too!

My thoughts too lol

Thoughts from UK too😀
