Japo's Western Race!

Good wind to goal!
Very very fast flight and lots of clouds during the flight.. but good visibility. I forgot to allow autopilot so had to be trimming all the time.. but the plane is good in stability.. and didn't find too much turbulences. At the landing I had too much strong wind with 24knots lateral comming from the right and some windshears.. GLUPS!! was a hard landing but good finally and now I am waiting in the platform and uploading some photos until next leg. :jump:

Hi Japo...excellent flying!

Ms. Murphy asks that, for each leg, you announce your departure as you are leaving. Then post your arrival when you land. (Her request reflects a need to do the flights "live" -- as you will understand.)

Any stories? Pictures?
 
Ahhh sorry for no announcing departures.. ok.. next time will do.
Have just completed the leg to KSBS. I got a lot of fears at the end of the flight because my engine was dieing. Lots of clouds.. lot of fog.. low temperature... icing.. :isadizzy:
I almost was near crashing.. when I was loosing the engine power at 500 AGL from ground.. but finally the fuel pump made the trick.. :ipepsi2:
Sooooo I landed smooth and lot of brake because touched at the middle of the runway.. but save and smooth.
Sorry about the pictures.. during week I don't have too much time to edit and upload the pictures..
Here is the report:

going to Boulder airport to trip to KLXV. Hope not clouds there or could not land... will see.

LANDED: Well, very slow.. had almost the same time as yesterday but 10 nm less.. Was because I had to climb more and because I overpass the runway so had to turn.. too much speed I had.
At the end didn't have any clouds.. don't know, thought I would have, because saw them in SkyVector. Anyway...
Here the flight:

Excellent flying. For the moment, taking the lead in the (unofficial) "Legacy League"!
