South Australia Scenic Flying - Cruzer at 130hours

Hi from South Australia,

11 minutes, scenic flight in my Cruzer (one of the first kits), best viewed on a big screen, if you can.
Where we live is really beautiful. This video is to share the views from 1000ft.  Strictly it’s 1500ft over built-up areas but the townships on the Fleurieu Peninsula are small, the engine is quiet and a safe glide distance to an open area is allowed for.  No traffic in the sky this day - so the ultimate play area.
Not everyone gets the chance, or wishes to fly in a homebuilt light aircraft, so a substitute here.
A walk around the plane opens the video (2015/18 build period / Viking Honda auto engine).  Then, 3 quick circuits and off we go, coastal; Hindmarsh Island, the mouth of the River Murray, a bit of the Coorong National Park, Goolwa township (where I built the plane), Middleton, Port Elliot and Victor Harbor.  Video playback has been speeded up, which affects the definition on YouTube - sorry about that.  Two touchdowns shown at normal speed.  Engine noise and my choice of a bit of music, set low volume. 
Goolwa Airfield has aspirations to become a fully fledged Airpark.  It’s a great facility, at sea level, with 3 runways and many friends.
Enjoy, when you have a moment.  Cheers John
