After first flight, circuit work and sorting the hangar thunderbird ramp I need
to get some confidence in GUMPY's cross country characteristics (temps and fuel
burn, speed etc). I did a 2 hour run to and along the east coast yesterday
for 200nm Southend, Clacton, Harwich- all Ok.
I am now thinking of a 4 hour/400nm trip and wondering is anyone else was
interested.
I fly from Leighton Buzzard (UK) so it would be something like, oxford,
Gloucester, Swansea, St Davids head, Aberporth, and over the top (weather
permitting
to Shobdon and home past Gloucester. Maybe land once or twice.
I am thinking of June 9th, 16th 22nd or 23rd - first day with suitable weather.
So steady over the east coast yesterday but more bumpy over north London with
the
thermals.
