[CavalierDuck]

Departing on leg 2, CYPS to CYCG. Slightly different fuel saving strategy this time after my Legacy was a bit thirsty on the first leg.

 

[CavalierDuck]

On the ground at CYCG. No thanks to a crosswind gusting up to 25kts on landing.

Flight time: 00:54:46
Race time 00:54:46
Fuel used: 52 lbs

Much better fuel economy this time, it looks like my strategy change might pay off.
