Hy Urs, you are way ahead, think this time I'll not get you,....no time for fishing, just caring for this old horse, ...let's say albatros (Albatross in german...lol...a german language joke,....) and again many thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'll try to fly as much as I can, but its unreal to meet you on the track,...I#m back to much and this horse is bucking around....
Anyway, I enjoy your screenies and will do my best.

Hey there guys,....as always, Urs' screenies are mindblowing!!! I am still heavy working that my old bird learns flying and it's really sweaty power consuming work; but I hope I could fix all the leaking oilpipes, filling up all spareparts and trying to take off soon.... my pc is just running on the edge with high power cooling fan and aching like an old horse.... but with enormous help and magnificent supply from Switzerland we could fly in all the needed stuff for take off..... so I'll on the fly right away: coming soon!!!! Thom

leg 10 YPGV-YELD yeah this was tough.... but the engine runs smoothly and so I can follow Urs when this lady has packed all her stuff and says good bye to her GAAR#s friend.... ok....start up..... incredible these Oz people,,.... yesterday a stranded bird,...today a phoeneix again.... a little nervous, but,...all systems go....ready for take off and.................. here we go full power,.....yep.... turning to another adventure and busy eyes across the instruments..... like a detective on his way to investigate the smallest failure.... vaste land below foggy? smoggy? dizzy? for God's sake a modern GPS..... and normal consumption feeling high descent.... but where the hell is the runway? no time to look around....its GAAR timing.....the GPS leads to final steepy turning in to speedy?!?! Ive to get the target time... yeah strong downwards.... nailing at the runway..... full flaps....hopefully the brakes work..... needing the last inches....whoof....but no problem....perfect timing oh what a "surprise" the next BBQ....lol....I'll have a problem with uric acid.....though a nicely red steak....nobody will deny.... and:::: URS is already waving me.....so dont hesitate....cheers
