How to start up, pre flight and take off a Eurostar EV-97 Microlight

This video shows how to start-up a Eurostar EV-97 Microlight, perform pre-take off checks and how to take-off. I am not an instructor and this is not an instructional video, nor should it be used for training. Instead, this video might be a useful reminder to help Eurostar EV-97 Microlight pilots conduct their first flight take-off after a long gap between flying.

This flight is from October 2019, cut for my own benefit to help me get ready for my first flight after the Coronavirus lockdown, I decided to publish this short video which shows the start-up, pre-take off checks and the actual take-off and climb out. This video is specific to G-CGVT and your Eurostar may differ, therefore checks may differ.

It makes sense to review this video with the appropriate check list for your own Eurostar EV-97. That's what I will be doing. Other videos on my channel are linked in this video, which show circuit work and landings in different configurations.
This video has full ATC and you will hear a number of initial calls on the ground, initial calls in the air, re-join calls etc. Consult an RT instructor if you need to brush up on your radio skills!
