Slightly over dressed pilot sorry.... but here we go....
Wanaka airport ahead
And landed roughly where I aimed for
I moved the pilot position a bit to the right...made it a bit easier to fly.

Not a poser group, but a real flight... from Makarora to Wanaka.

Bravo Marty, that is my toy of choice in the sim, lovely series.
So popular in NZ, there are dozens of the things, and the owners are totally besotted by the experience.

That's the way to explore the scenery!
I could never get on with Helicopters in any of my flight sims....
...gravity always won in my cases, with disastrous results!
"Autogyro" Whirly-birds was more my cup of Tea..."Bensen", etc...!
Explains it all!...>>>

Thanks very much gents .... to be honest, it was a scary little flight 
The thing was pitching up all the time and trying to roll...the "landing" was a controlled crash , but I didn't do any visible damage.
I really love this model (Cowan) and there are nice NZ repaints it ....thanks again

These are lovely shots, I'm having so much trouble with 2024, it's good to remember that 2020 is still a great choice.
