surrey-dad Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 I am sure that most of you folks already have your DVD recorders set for this. But just in case anyone had been confused by the various attempt to re-programme this event of late : The Ch4 Daredevils episode covering the Skycar is on TONIGHT at 10pm.

alan_k Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Scary landings. Looked to me like a bit more lift would be in order, also providing more flare. A big up to Gilo for his passion though Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike1714 Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Yes, definately a clever chappy!!! Lift did seem to be a problem? Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Scary landings. Looked to me like a bit more lift would be in order, also providing more flare.A big up to Gilo for his passion though Alan The flare was a problem, although it could flare with the foot controls it was not enough. I rigged a simple pully system to the car so that the pilot / driver could access a full flare if required after the first landing I watched. The vibe in the pub last night was brill, I can't belive how much people liked the show. (non pilot, non ppg people just out for a pint) Thanks to Christina and Simon for the invite.

dantheman Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 "any landing you can walk away from is a good one" - could have sworn I heard that somewhere before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frazer1981 Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 I was more curious as to what simon had planned with that huge stick he was stoking the fire with in the background when they were interviewing gilo!!! I really enjoyed the show though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmh Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 great show guys, was there in Spain last week and the trans montana meant we never got airborne... will do soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 That's another point scored for UK training then.. We had a half decent week here last week. Plenty of training done. SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

druffuk Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Indeed, was alittle disappointing that we went all that way but didn't get airbourne but those winds were crazy!! There was a good group of people and I think we all learned alot and are now pretty much ready for our first flights. Weather has played a massive part in my training and it has been a case of grabbing bits here and there, whenever possible with both Simon and Alex. Was hoping a week intensive course would be the key to getting off the ground but in this sport you can't help the weather, luck of the draw. If we had been a week earlier we would have all been in the air with massive smiles on our faces. It will come, roll on good weather in the UK.
