Just back from a very nice 2 hr jaunt  - The Oak to a friends place between Yass & Canberra (did not land). Could see forever.  Not quite silky smooth but almost. 3C at 5500ft. Averaged 14.5L/hr @ 130 knots true.  Lake George was an amazing metallic purple. Great to be alive!😈

fantastic trip. how many hours flight time

[facthunter]

The best stuff to see  is out the Back. You have to sneak in there unnoticed. They Built De Havilland stuff under licence. There's a Giant Moth and other goodies. Not a Patch on SARS at Shellharbour. Qantas have contributed to that as well. Nev

No Hours of fright time is good,  but the experience might be helpful IF you make it.  People who get a lot of fright time usually stop.  Avoid scary weather. Nev

Nice 2.6 hour flight from Longreach to Charleville arrive 4 minutes earlier than the flight plan a mix of light tail and then head winds plus some showers under the dark sky areas. Both airfields are in beautiful condition and excellent cafes there for mid morning breakfast.

Cowra - The Oaks Landing Mid afternoon?

Round trip 4.3hrs (Hobbs).

 

Times worked out very well - got to Cowra  before 12:00

 

Was almost frozen stiff by the time I got to Condo. Great air, lots of ground fog. Condo deserted - if it wasn't for a passing cattle truck, I would have thought mankind had evaporated.

 

Cowra, Not quite as quiet. Lots of training aircraft lined up waiting for the week to start. Met a wonderful couple, who gave me a lift into town & back for some fuel. 

 

Cowra to The Oaks via Wingello - Cloud at 6/8th  5000ft.. Went over the top at 7500Ft - smooth as!

 

This was my longest flight in the Sonex - Perth soon😈

Nice cool flight Charleville to Roma 1.8 hours under the winter skies. 12 then 18 knot headwind. Rotax purred along nicely. Greeted with low fog reported AWIS as 650 feet agl at Roma but actual was 450 last 2 miles in.  All good when confirmed airfield sighted. Marked an alternate LZ strip at a property I orbited over sorting out under fog visibility and looking for other traffic before moving over to join downwind. Gloves were handy in the Queensland winter of 11c will order a cabin heat kit; meant too after last winter.

11 degrees? Luxury! We were -2 C on Saturday morning, and that wasn’t abnormal. The heater is being built in from the word go. 🥶
