I think, just for a change from my Trusty Beech Baron Twin, I will wheel out my sleek, slippery, Cessna 182RG, the one with the smart, polished, wooden panel.... :-*...!

It can be flown just as fast, or just as slow, as my Baron 58, with half the fuel costs... :-*...!

It's a retractable, with a constant speed prop, so management is similar to the Baron, but with only one engine, (and the wheels!... :o...),  to worry about... ::)...LOL...!

I like the idea of New Zealand, a place we all rarely visit..... :o....

...so...

...maybe a good idea for a future tour to cover the whole island, North and South... ::).....?

...(and I can collect some nice New Zealand Lamb, (with Mint Sauce), for my Sunday Dinner whilst we are there!)... :P...!

Cheers all...!

excellent trip again Tonight.. ;)...!

Regards "Teamspeak".......

I really can't be arsed with fiddling about in the back of the computer swopping over my surround sound speaker plugs for a headphone+microphone set, and testing and adjusting the volume and mic sensitivities, just for an hour on Teamspeak once a Week...
...and then having to swop it all back again at the end of the flight... >:(...!

Nah!....Too much messing about.
.....I'll stick to typing during the flight...It's no problem for me....;)...!

Paul....G-BPLF... 8-)...!
