Gave him my lat/lon and he told me that 50 nm further I will be in the clear. He asked then when I'd expect Japan. Told him: 14 hrs to go. Quite a surprised voice came back: "what type aircraft are you flying there ?". Told him to be in a little homebuild burning 2.5 gals of fuel an hour. His voice - again puzzled - when he repsonded "Wow, sheeet we're burning 120 gals a minute here". > > As I cannot post to the forum - feel free to relay. > > be well > > > ------------Forwarded message------------ > From: europa-list@matronics.com > Date: Sep 4, 2013 04:39:00 PM > Subject: Europa-List: My Longest flight > To: europa-list@matronics.com > > > My longest single continuous flight today, 3:20 370nm, 53ltrs.

Well worth the expense and time getting it right if I'm going to spend several hundreds on the final upholstered article. Kelvin...I would urge that you consider using the very special (and quite spendy) temperfoam for the seat bottoms rather than upholstery foam...your tush will be very appreciative. My seat bottoms are 1" of the green "crash foam" (very dense), 1" of blue (less dense), plus triangular wedges of upholstery foam...it could save you some trauma from a hard landing...sorry but I cannot source this material for you.
