NZFF

As some of you would know i'm doing kiwi land and some of the east coast of aus when my cockpit is built, BUT before it is, i wanna test my bird and see if it can handle to fun trip across the tasman.

So, this sunday at about 1000au ( 1200nz ) my Piper Archer 3 will be taking off from Port Mac YPMQ and tracking for Kaitia via Lord Howe and Norfolk Island.

details on how to connect to inspire and ts are here http://z11.invisionfree.com/nzff/index. ... topic=3229

forgot to metion,

if ya want jump on and fly a leg or the whole thing with me

ok, the time has been changed to 1500au (1700nz)

it will be VERY close due to the archer's two 24 gals fuel tanks.

( yup, thats right ONLY 48gals of fuel )

anyone coming along beware its gunna be a LONG SLOW flight

Trans Tasman Endurance Challange again? But the other way around?

I'm sorry to say that once was enough for me- I wont be flying the 7 hour stint again...

LOL, this is just the test run

Yeah that trans tasman adventure was one in a million ive done that now in a chopper S76 and a grand caravan this time im still not sure on aircraft but will start in norfolk island ,about 4hrs away in a light aircraft ,so im keen as always to do a flight i dont seem to get online much anymore ,but are pushing to fit this in on a weekly bases,after reading up and watching the screen shots from fsx im almost willing to give it ago again,ive got my deluxe sitting here looking at me ,but for now fs9 all the way ,and after typing all this ive decided im taking the fu24 on my trip it needs a good work out ,
