Baton free at RPUT.I planned to go to RPLC, but got short of fuel and also was running out of time. So I had to change the plan while en route and landed at RPUT.Jozef K. http://homepages.onsnet.nu/~jkusters/signature.jpg

http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/139485.jpgHad autopilot problems enroute. Would hold altitude but not course. First attempt to land failed. The aircraft would not slow down after touchdown. Maintained 140+ knts. Second attempt to land ran out of fuel 500 yrds short of runway. Not a problem because I had planned to shutdown the engines on touchdown anyway so I could stop.GNS530 Fuel Planning Page after landing:http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/139486.jpgAlthough it is fast I do not like this plane. I will not by flying it during the race.

You wouldn't be allowed to fly it anyway as it was never a production aircraft.But good to know we're not missing out on much ;)
