Und Zo... if you were a newly-hired pilot tasked with this mission the times would be significantly slower.
This does speak to the RTW format as well where we can practice a leg, but with only limited time once the planners define a route but we should still bear in mind that pre-flying can reap benefits (even if it's just approaches and the descent). It also shows that the hottest plane may also have drawbacks that lessen it's overall benefit without those experiences.
Hmmm... would I EVER admit to ulterior motives?
On the other hand it shows that experience is a good teacher, but as I'm sure some have found, a bit of familiarity can also breed casual behaviour which may bite.
Another couple of days to play and then we can look elsewhere...

Well I ran the legs many times, but in many different aircraft trying to find something manageable that someone else hasn't flown.
Only re-flew (is that a word?) one leg of my actual run when my throttle quad went bonkers.
As a fun exercise, I yust run ineresting leg between two quaint fields for above course. In Helichopper.... Full zoot trees, FSX etc. Quite the pleasure as you decadent capatiliisichiski say.
I prepose that we try some non tuned runs in either helichopper or piston single, 350 hp or less, fixed gear. Perhaps other direction.....

Yer on!
If we have to go thru SOH withdrawl this weekend it might keep our eye on the bagel. Warming up the Pitcairn and then gotta get the NH90 loaded and try it flingwing.
So.. reverse course, no test runs, keep your own time - no Duenna posts (but save them in case), 9000 ft cap (???) for the whole thing???
One bottle (small) Stoly for fastest by Nov 1 :isadizzy:

Try a rolling take off that exceeds 5 MPH as I think I read a while back that choppers lifting off vertically can fail to trigger the Duenna. You may have to use a rolling landing too for the same reason.

Was testing Capt Sim Yak-3...Spit-like; fast but no legs.
To quote der fligermeister (this was HIS idea!)
"in either helichopper or piston single, 350 hp or less, fixed gear. "
So as long as you make sure it's under 350HP go ahead and fly the fixed-wing (BTW the DHC Beaver is 450 but Piglet's Helio is 295 HP :d)

Rob, you get an "A" for effort flying that Ronco slicer & dicer. :d
Just for grins I ran the first leg in the Santos Dumont Demoiselle of 1909. A two cylinder opposed air cooled Dutheil-Chalmers engine of 20-30HP. And some bamboo bits. :mixedsmi:
Always wondered about setting up a race from London to Paris in 1903-1913 era aircraft. No gps, otto etc.
