ETE 0:10. Went away from the computer, returned to find my engine stopped and my plane descending. Then I rememberd - this plane doesn't have automatic fuel management. Then, while frantically searching for the fuel selected switch, I almost released the drop tank, which was full of fuel. See, this is why we pracetice! ETE 0:10.

Question:

Are we going to be stuck with just a couple of competitive aircraft as with last year? Even the damm fast ones weren't enough to run against the redicuously fast ones.

Rob has already been asked a similar question a couple of days ago Tom. Bottom line is we will have to see what happens closer to race time. There is a lot of time between now and February for the Committee to make a decision on the two hot-shots.

***Willy*** · November 27th, 2011, 22:02

Let's give this a whirl. YSNF to NZKT F7F Tigercat

I'd love to help Team Outhouse if I can.

I may not be the best pilot, but I can give it a go, but also help out else where if I can.

Let me know.

You now have access to the Top Secret hideout, where we hatch all out devious plans to win the race. Weclome to the team!

Thanks Dave!

Turned out that airport was deep in a canyon, so I had to pick the runway with the shortest cliff to dive off of to get to the runway.

**Tako_Kichi** · November 28th, 2011, 12:18

A regular leg to NZOH would get us our first required airport below 40° S and then a wildcard over to Tasmania will get us the second airport below 40° S. It's just a regular leg then to the Oz mainland and off to YMJM whichever way we can.
