Congratulations. Getting the wonderfully historic B247 all the way to Melbourne would make Roscoe Turner proud. (Though he needed little help being proud. )

Very well done.

Great run Robert!

And a big thanks to the committee for setting up this event.

Well done! As already said Roscoe would have been proud - showed him how its done! Work the range and don't get lost.

Great Job Robert! Glad you got that little bug out of your computer and was able to finish.

 

[robert41]

Thanks Rob and Roman.
Range was no problem. Speed was. Trying to keep from overspeeding when the winds shifted to the nose was quite exciting at times. I thought the wings were going to come off a couple of times.

Nice to see you made it to Melbourne Robert. Nice run in the Boeing 247D!
I was beginning to think that your computer wasn't going to let you finish.
That or you had found something more interest in Darwin.

Thanks again for pointing me int the right direcrtion in solving my problems.

Thanks Fred. Good that your machine is working right. Mine is working mostly, but a new one is in the works.
