On August 6th I will do my first long real-world flight, after 17 hours of traffic pattern training and short flights near the home airport. In a C42C, my flight instructor and myself will fly from Magdeburg to Rostock, i.e. from the center of Germany to the north, near the Baltic Sea, and back again. Overall, we'll be in the air for about 3 to 4 hours (depending on ground speed) and cover a total distance of about 240 nm (or 430 km, which sounds even more).

Hopefully outside temperatures will be a bit lower than last week where we had about 38 °C (100 °F). Still, all the nice green you'll see on the screenshots below is not the real state currently. Instead, everything is a dry yellow and brown since several weeks (which you can see in this video).

Looks very nice 🙂

Hey Mario,

Can't wait for the release of the vFlyteair C42 (been following your development posts on the ORG).

...and best of luck for your cross country flight - bet you love every second of it.

Cheers,

Bill
