Ooooooppppsssss.... :o....!

Just notices the Hop distance...370 NM....!
and speed recommendation...220+ knots...!

I don't think I've got anything in my default piston prop hangar which will safely cope with those sort of speeds over that sort of distance...  :o...!

My default Beech Baron 58D would be pushed to its absolute limit continuously...risking blowing the engines... :'(...!

A default turbo-prop may cope with it, but I'm not too fond of turbo-props...
Passenger Jets are a definite no-no... >:(...!
...and war-birds aren't exactly tourers... ;)...!

...so....!

I might have to go fishing today instead... :'(...!

Boo-Hoo... :'(...!

Mornin' Serp... ;D...!

I thought we agreed, a little while ago, together with Crash, etc, that it may be a good idea to limit each hop distance to around 200 miles maximum.... ;)...!

This would allow for small default GA aeroplanes to complete the distance comfortably, travelling at sensible speeds, in under two hours... ;D...!

..otherwise we will find that some pilots will be switching planes to fast war-birds, etc, (as they do!), and the touring hop turns into a frantic air-race... :o...!!
...know what I mean...;)...?

Paul...I like gentle Touring...not frenetic racing...;)...!

P.S. Serp....have you had any luck with fitting the Bendix-King radio stack to your Cessna 182RG, yet...;)...?

Paul...low and slow, easy peasy!...8)...!

I have to agree. Not only will it become a kind of race to the finish, it gets pretty boring too. Especially when the scenery is a desert like area with some hills as is Southern Europe. Now I also understand Jimbo in planning a long hop like this. He wants to leave the area as soon as possible and come back up north where there is more to see. So I guess it's one thing or the other. Although I also prefer the smaller hops (up to max 200 NM) somethings has to be done. In that light, work has also to be done tonight. So unfortunatly my friends again I am not able to join you tonight. Have a nice flight tonight and if you decide not to join have a great evening.

Crash ;)

Dont use an autopilot.... I flew 350+ Miles in the default cessna 172 for 4 hours....... Boring? Not when your constantly trying to keep on course due to bad turbulence..... But it can be tedius, but if you have voice communications, and a tv or something to think about and day dream, it gets better, Cheers, Gunny

200 nm would be long enough but were not even going up north, were heading east ;D

Anyway im there in the Legacy and we will see how it goes. :)

I would like to visit Corsica during the tour, i realy like that island but i think its a bit too far out of the way?

Not when it applies to reasonably sensible European Pilots during a sensible European tour with fellow sensible Multiplayer Pilots, flying sensibly, under sensible European flying conditions in a sensible/safe period of flight...;)...!

...trust me... ;)...!

I understand that these hops are long and inconvienient. But if we do smaller hops, just imagine how long it would take to complete the tour.
But i have realised this, and therefore future hops will be shorter.

Sorry for any inconvienience Chaps.
