Hello friends,
Jimmy Rowland recently posted an invitation to the Bush Pilots Racing League (BPRL) at flightsim, that I would like to extend to you.
I believe it is an excellent opportunity to keep the RTWR skills sharp between races, as well as promising a lot of fun in itself.
As Jimmy said elsewhere - "The fastest low-n-slow you'll ever go!"...
It provides for intelligent racing in a bush flying environment, with planes that quite a few here will appreciate I believe - single-engine, normally-aspirated bushplanes.
The season is broken up into monthly race courses, with each course being of a relatively short duration (100-250 miles) consisting of multiple legs taking as little as a 10 minutes to complete, tracked by the Duenna.
I found the practice legs already very interesting and varied, a real challenge of piloting skills - low level flying, finding the best path across mountains, managing climb performance, off-airport landing ect, in addition to trying to get to the destination the fastest possible.
I am looking forward to the race courses to be released monthly indeed (first one in April).
Several of us at flightsim have already signed up.
Go to the BPRL site to find further information, try out the Skagit Regional Practice Course, or sign up:

Check it out - the more the merrier.
