Ooh, I love big dark brown bits. Chocolate, certain parts of Lady Crashalot......... Anywho, the Baron is fully fuelled and every extra weight is thrown overboard, so it's only me and my sixpack of Heineken.

Just tried it with the baron and no problem to fly out. Just take a long run from way back and apply full throttle on the parkbrake to built up some pressure.....

When does it start? 3:30 central time right?

Edit: Yup. I'm -6 GMT. I probably won't be there due to my science fair experiment Cry

Good luck with the server and have a nice flight.

I never noticed a server crash. Just saw MrJake and Paul go offline. Paul came back after two minutes....

I had to pull out as my engines gave up the ghost, and wouldnt restart, no matter what i tried, simply must have been the Alt, as i had plenty enough fuel and all the controls were correct, no abnormal readings. How odd
