Sean sorry for misleading you on the flight routes, south africa was on the list, i just did not figure that it would be multi stages to get there. :redface: please don't beat me up.
have you tried practice landings for all the airports on the route. i just went for the malta run. my bottom end valve went going into nice, the fast decent once over the mountains to the sea and a quick spin round back to the airport. malta was more gentle and a little sight seeing on the way down.
have fun the old girl is great to fly, having to get ready to start my 4nights shift tomorrow, might see you in italy or somewhere next week.
