If I decide to take this on, I would choose to use Milton Shupe's Spartan. Great airplane that I learned about from MM during the last Macrobertson. A joy to fly.
 
I'm in, but only if I have a stable internet connection.
Also, flying Jenny or Wimy, or Monocoupe or something like that is an interesting option.
Another interesting option is to fly Antonov An-2 (If it's not classic - it's still modern - there are some chinese examples still produced=))).

Team effort on the horizon?...

Austin,
I'm game for a team effort.
I think this is really too much all on my own.

Will fly anything. Just show me where the throttle is, and which way it's to Melbourne...

I'll try to participate to the FSMPA Radio Range event this sunday, we could talk there. Am having some friends over for the weekend, but will see if I can get them out of the house in time. :d

Just got back from Kitty Hawk NC and I'm (re)stoked on the Wright Brothers again. How does the Wright Flyer sound to ya?

No need to boot folks out of the house. If you (or any body else) can make it great if not, then just wait till the rules post and we can talk then.

Maybe the Hughes H-1 Racer

The only problem with it is landing and taking off. It has an extremely long nose.
 
If we stick to what we did last time the FS9 Hughes H-1 was disqualified as the airfile was just too darn hot.

I tried flying the Aerosoft version in the tropics, and the weather was just too darn hot. You'd never get to Melbourne in this one. The Hughes Racer is strictly a cold weather flyer.

As far as I know, we haven't tested the Aerosoft H-1, just Piglet's.
 
We are making good progress on the Puss Moth and still plan to have a version available a week before the race (in 3 paint schemes - red, light blue, and black). Now, how this aircraft finished in the top five ... dunno but she is a joy to fly, albeit slowly. I hope to have the aircraft that flew in the London to Melbourne race, the VH-UQO but no guarantees.
 
Thanks Milton

I am waiting on it.

I don't care where it will finish in speed. If they set the event up right planning will weight as heavy as speed.

That would really be great to have in the race Milton. Outstanding work
