NZFF

Blake, Ian (Warren), and myslef (James) went for a flight around Wanaka in our L-39s.
Our flight included flying from Wanaka to tekapo (where Blake had to leave us) and then on to Christchurch

Here are a few pictures that i took, in no piticular order.







a few hours after Ian and myself went in multicockpit, starting off with me taking off from wellington, flying around there with a few engine failures, (which gives the person in the back seat a job) then landing at Woodbourne, where i jumped into the front seat and let ian take the controls, he flew around a bit, did a accidental wave off, come around for the landing and then the aircraft did a 'funky chicken' and went wildly out of control, we were well above stall speed.

No pictures from that sorry!

Darn wasn't around! ..so what do you guys think? Not sure why the probelm with the funky chicken???...high speed stall?

i love the aircraft, Very realistic, we are not sure what happend either, the controls went all jittery

Paul , we were hoping you might just pop up , i was monitoring TS and NZFF for an extra .... James .. 'Funky Chicken' ... without a 'Dout Brussel Sprout' Naki was not a flying prob , maybe memory usage ... been running MP for many hours , be the chop and changing cockpits , very dynamic changes

Be good to get you up too Paul








Enjoy we did

L39 , This thing can be a hand full on takeoff , loaded make sure you have some runway ! , Hells give me the BAe Hawk any day

Its sorta like a underpowered BAC167 , really has a hi wing loading , take some fuel out , she becomes a little more spritely

Nice details are the two NZ reg.s Albatros in the airshow curcit paints by Bob'Bananabob'Rivera .

The Three Amigo's ... Blake , James and Me

later the evening caught up , Tekapo

our destination for that night

BUT HERE IS THE WICKED PART , later a quick trip in Multiplay , James driving and im in the backseat monitoring !

We went through different testing , in stages the engine flamed out , back seat i was able to restart and follow backups when required . one amazing ride .
