A planet called Langogne

As promised in my last update I have published a film from my last flight. I have done 2 versions, one long and one short. 
Unless you are my mother - or one of my friends who were with me in Langogne - the short version might be more than sufficient...
Langogne in quiet place at the east edge of Massif Central with a small airfield just outside the village. The gliders are long gone but you see the traces of them.
There are several altiports in the area and an excellent instructor available.

The short version (14 minutes)

The long version (38 minutes)

2 days on another planet...

I'm just back from a 2 day trip to a paradise airfield in the french back country. A place where time stops and it is good to be. I met up with some friends and then camped 2 nights.
I will post a film shortly. 6 hours without issues added...

Long time no update...

I'm still here, and I'm still flying (but not as much as I would like to). I have added a few hours (33h total on the engine) and still no bad surprises.
I still believe that I don't get the maximum out of the engine with my current 3 blade Warp Drive. So before actually starting to search for a new prop I wanted to try one I got when buying the plane, knowing it would not work as it was intended for a 532/582. But just for peace of mind...
 As expected it didn't work, exceeding maximum RPM long before full throttle... But you must admit it looks great with a two blade wood prop on the Avid !
