• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Electra NSFA->NPS

Well I must have gotten close. Because this Version of Earhart's Electra has the same feel of hoisting a barn door into the air that the one I modified did when you try to get off with the tanks topped off.

NSFA->NPS 2267.7 miles. I flew it around Edwards to get used to it then took off on the course I plotted 3 years ago. At least there is a Sperry on board. Not the constant correction that I had to do on the Spirit. Wonder how far I'll get?:running:
 
Well from Hawaii (Ford Island) the route goes to San Francisco. Then to Mexico City, then to Caracas, and on to Natal and Monrovia. I have a pile of papers here and haven't found page 2 yet I think the trip across Africa will have to change in any case because there are not many places that will allow landing. It would be best to set off across the Indian Ocean from the Horn of Africa, but that's not possible.
