Not a poser group, but a real flight... from Makarora to Wanaka.
Slightly over dressed pilot sorry.... but here we go....















Wanaka airport ahead



And landed roughly where I aimed for







I moved the pilot position a bit to the right...made it a bit easier to fly.

Nice set, Marty - I was up that way looking for the road that Doug built...must check the pics.

Bravo Marty, that is my toy of choice in the sim, lovely series.
So popular in NZ, there are dozens of the things, and the owners are totally besotted by the experience.

Nice Marty !!! amazing machines, we should see how big a group 500 flight we could organise online, be hard pressed to beat that IRL meetup tho

That's the way to explore the scenery!

I could never get on with Helicopters in any of my flight sims....
...gravity always won in my cases, with disastrous results!
"Autogyro" Whirly-birds was more my cup of Tea..."Bensen", etc...!

Explains it all!...>>>

Nice countryside shorts, Marty!
Sort of stuff I like!.... ...!

Paul... :UK: ...England... ...!

Thanks very much gents .... to be honest, it was a scary little flight
The thing was pitching up all the time and trying to roll...the "landing" was a controlled crash , but I didn't do any visible damage.
I really love this model (Cowan) and there are nice NZ repaints it ....thanks again

Thank you JK

These are lovely shots, I'm having so much trouble with 2024, it's good to remember that 2020 is still a great choice.

Thanks very much Rob....how goes the battle mate ?
