Flying the new Savannah MXP740, the European sister of the CH701, completing a rigorous programme of testing and inspecting, trying out different configurations for Short Takeoff and Landing capabilities. Basically - having a lot of fun flying around farmstrips in Kent and taking friends up. The chinook in the beginning shot was actually buzzing the farmstrip right before one of the takeoffs - we'll try to catch up with it next time to get some cool footage. Let the voyages begin ... April 09.

  • I flew one today ( first time i had ever flown a plane) it was really nice had smooth controls and was very easy to fly. the only difference is the one i flew had a three bladed prop

  • that is a great area to fly in! I noticed that you were able to catch up the the fighter....hehe. good stuff.

  • 1:12 God I wish I was there...

  • @chair5432 What the hell are you talking about mate?

  • Can't fly anywhere in the US, after 9/11 the whole country becomes a nanny state, locking down EVERYTHING.

  • Fantastic! - I am going to go around the dover area on Sunday!

  • @carbondragon6 Leave this video alone, its good. So he hasn't got all the details right, but he does love flying, and thats what its all about, right?

  • its not the slowest plane in the world, try Bill Motes Dragonfly, 18 mph in ground effect at sea level.

    Also have had a slow flying contest with a 701 with a 582 and a Dragonfly, the 701 kept stalling while the Dragonfly could easily slow a further 5 to 7 mph.

    Also the hang glide piolts dont like being towed with the 701 as they say it is too fast.

    Experience speaks heaps.

  • great location, video, plane. you did steal the mirage video clip, but great anyway!

  • is that ireland or UK?
