A lot of pilots made several attempts and clearly improved each time.
Thanks to those who sent in their .ftr files as learning material for others.
The number of pilots that could not complete the task looks high. However, so is the number of pilots who came very very close to the finish!
Well done all, awesome flying on this far from easy task!
I hope you enjoyed it.
Before you ask: I'm working on another, even trickier variant, but so far I haven't been able to complete the task myself.
I want to be sure it can be done, before I release it.
The briefing is ready, but... Don't know yet...
