Anyone interested in a slow race? That's like a normal race, but using slow old biplanes like this one.

I figure a simple point-to-point race, perhaps one T&G along the way, about 20-30 minutes flying time, just for a bit of fun.

Any takers?

Looking at the plane, the 'point to point' race would be from one end of the runway to the other Grin

Point to point races usually turn out very boring IMO - you take off, hit full throttle, & whoever took off first or has the fastest plane wins.

You should set it up at Heathrow or JFK for example & utilise the runways for course markers & t&g's. (Do a few circuits of the airport or something). Just an idea.

(Or maybe a smaller airport to save FPS).

Hmm, if I could lay out a course and put some sort of markers on the ground, that would be something to consider.

A cross country race with waypoints that must be circled, or T&G's in specified fields? Those old planes don't have GPS so the pilots would have to navigate by following roads and canals.

I'm convinced there's potential here, I've just got to find the best way of using it.
