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.

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...
