I've wanted to try this flight out for a while, and it was great to have an opportunity. Very much enjoyed trying the aircraft out and chatting to Deepak about his passion for electric flight. Very highly recommended for anyone interested in the future of general aviation.

I had an excellent flight with Deepak in the Velis electro Pipistrel all Electric aircraft. Deepak was very knowledgable and in the short time we had in the air I learnt a lot about this particular aircraft, we even managed to pick up a thermal or two which extened its range. I fully recommend the experience. Merv

It was a very pleasant flight with an almost new airplain. Beeing electric powered it is more silent and light . I was very impressed by the pilot seeing and knowing so many places/ cities where he landed includind my country ROMANIA He showed me the airplain book to know more about this airplain. So, great experience and next year i will want to take some flying lessons with this type of airplane. I will recomand him to my friends to take a flight with him . Thank you very much Lawrence.

An absolutely brilliant experience, Deepak was excellent. We circled over the Dartford Crossing so that I could get some photographs of the bridge. The near-silent operation of his electrically-powered aircraft was quite remarkable. This may well be the future. Fly with him, and be able to say that you were in at the beginning of this venture.
