hurricanemk1c 195 Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 Now, a lot of people were suprised about my aircraft choice, not least Andrew who was a tad concerned about performance! Anyway, to kick the ball rolling here, below are a few shots from the test flight: Starting off Lift off Luckily I have a whole crew assisting me, although they didn't want to be photographed in the company of a crazy pilot!

brett 2,283 Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 If anyone can pull it off it's you, great choice. Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,487 Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 O boy, how did I let this aircraft though! The rules state aircraft with one or two engines only. Chuck, I am happy for you to carry on as this was my mistake in not picking it up when you registered I do love the aircraft though, and your shots. Cheers, Joe Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,283 Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 Well it does have two on each side Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,487 Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 I suppose if you turn two of them off, that would be ok 1 Link to post Share on other sites
hurricanemk1c 195 Posted March 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Whops. Didn't see that bit in the rules! Wondered why I had never used it before! Link to post Share on other sites
ddavid 149 Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Well, they used Lancastrians for getting to Santiago, so why not the odd Shack. In Colombia? And I guess Joe has to sleep sometime... Cheers - Dai. P.S. No offence, Boss! Link to post Share on other sites

hurricanemk1c 195 Posted March 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 I must say it's not exactly an advantage! Link to post Share on other sites
cporses 50 Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 I was going to use the Lancastrian in historic QANTAS livery but I decided it might be too big for some of the strips. I looked at the rules and aircraft eligibility pages and saw nothing stating single or twin only. I checked because this was the rule in previous events. Cheers Bob Link to post Share on other sites
hurricanemk1c 195 Posted April 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 Eligible Aircraft3. Participants may fly any piston or turbo-prop single or twin engined aircraft of their choice. Turbojet, turbofan and other such engined aircraft are not eligible for entry in the event. I just didn't read the rules! Link to post Share on other sites
