    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

More Duxford Buchon Action (screenshots)

SOH-CM-2025
Here are a set of screenshots presented in a series, taken from a couple of flights with the Flight Replicas restored Buchon "G-BWUE" from Duxford and around Cambridgeshire (all screenshots taken in FSX).

Warming up at 1000-RPM, just outside the Historic Flying hangar, about 85-gallons of gas for an hour's flight (with some high power acro involved).

Flaps 20-degrees, radiator flaps full open, tail in the air at 60+ kts.

Nice pics. Your take-off was a bit better than mine, I'm still practicing. I didn't crack up, but it wasn't the best ;)
 
Final pass, and pulling up into a right downwind, reducing power and radiator flaps already full open.

At least at Duxford, there is A LOT of grass to use. (Mind you, as real-world pilots will do as well, at Duxford I typically just use the large swath of grass between the "designated" grass runway and the paved runway for my warbird flying.) ; )
