Practice #1

[falcon409]

Just wanted to post these last two from the previous flight. One shows the new Livery I made for the Race Tigercat and the other shows the remaining fuel after landing at SAVE. Along with help and best wishes from Pam and Larry along the way, I was able to adjust and tweak various settings to make it into the airport. Fuel Planning is critical, lol. . . .

Rumour has it that Moses will conduct any debriefing on his tab at Rosa's Cantina... just watch out for angry-looking cowboys.

[PRB]

Well done, shipmates!


One thing to remember about baton transfers:

Even though you're on Teamspeak and know that the baton carrier has landed, the official transfer takes place in the forum thread. So, a pilot cannot make the "I have the baton" post before the previous pilot makes the "The Baton is free at..." post. One of the things we try to get better at as we get closer to the race is fast baton transfers, meaning one minute or less separating the "baton is free at" and the "I have the baton at" posts in the thread. Still, one has to follow the other...

Falcon, you must fly the same way I drive, that low fuel light is just a minor thing, plenty left when it comes on - that's what I always tell the wife just before the engine begins to sputter...
