Following your transformation was really inspirational and it is just wholesome seeing you do this itl stuff! I don’t remember for how many years I’ve been following you, it’s probably been since I was flying in FSX as a teen. I don’t know you in person but you’ve been accompanying me since back when virtually and it brings joy to my heart seeing you succeed with your dreams. I’m really looking forward to seeing more of this series!

Here's a tip I heard from another Piper pilot for remembering the trim direction: If you turn it clockwise, it will knock you on the scruff, which will make your head pitch forward; if you turn it counterclockwise, it will knock you on the forehead, which will make your head pitch up. Though I'm afraid it only works when you're seated on the left seat. Hope that helped.

Looking good man stick with the flying, when I get older I want to become a full time pilot and have a lot of time to save up since I am only 17, I am from where squirrel is from in between Liverpool and Manchester and will definitely have a look at the company for my future don't let anyone stop you from making these irl flight videos.

Just subbed so I can follow your progress, I'd like to get a PPL just for a hobby, albeit a really expensive hobby. Looking forward to seeing more content and quite like how your upfront about being offered lessons/flight time theres absolutely nothing wrong with the win win deal for both parties. Will you be doing commentary of the flight videos explaining what you need to learn and how its being put into practice? Also not that its a major issue but G-BSLU has a screw missing from the overhead panel next to the trim wheel

for the slow mo bits at the start, a little tip; If you're trying to do slowmo but you didn't record in high enough FPS to get a (smooth) nice result, you can try optimal flow slow-mo. It will smooth it up for you ;) It's like magic.

What year is that plane? I learned to fly in a Cherokee 140 in the early 1980s when I was a very young teenager, but it was a much newer version (although still old). I think it's really CUTE that after all your sim-flying the big airliners, you are now humbled, and have to learn the basics and fly for real like the rest of us. You have a childlike sense of wonder. Congrats of the weightloss. You seem NICE now, whereas before you could be kind of a jerk (maybe you still are), but you seem more pleasant.
