Good Day @SeedyL3205

Thank you

It was a pity that I had to fly also the second Terry Fox flight behind the starting field because of a Windows crash and a M2 Nvme that could no longer be started on friday evening! So buy a new SSD reinstall Windows and install MSFS, took almost 16 hours 
However, I had no CTD…maybe it’s because of the reinstallation? And many thanks to Seedy and Gul for this great event once again! <3
Just fly, and make notes! No big flightplan.
Hi everyone,
First of all, thanks to @SeedyL3205 and @FactualGull1036 for this wonderful charity and flying event.
Here is my Stage 2 Xbox Logbook. It took me lots of hours going through the Rockies, I even crashed due to heavy winds in Glacier National Park in Montana. After all, I managed to get Victoria flying through valleys, where I have had nice views and fun.
Also I’d like to point that my registered time for Stage 1 is wrong. It appears as 13:11:38 which is the total time of flight, and it should be 13:58:38. This time takes into account refuels and other delays (started 11h01z and finished 0h57z).
Thanks again!! Looking forward the Cannonball Run and future adventures!!

Cub Crafter X Cub
Full disclosure: to allow me to finish today during lunch hour, I had to PAUSE the flight on the way into CYYJ, so I could get to a time when I could land. The sim air logs show flat line fuel usage during that pause time, but I assure you, I was paused and not moving (I wish SimAir showed LAT/LONG data - it is obviously available, it’s what is used for the mapping)
Summary
Real life got in the way this weekend, so I had to piece the legs together a little bit at a time. My goals were (a) get a time that is LESS THAN the default 96 HOURS, and (b) learn and experience along the way. Achieved both!
Got greedy this morning and set off on AP after a daring touch and go at CYCG, dropping into the beautiful river valley from ALT 9000 to 1600. Successful, but then miscalculated the departure, thought I was high enough and put it on AP so I could get back to work … CRASH into the mountain a couple minutes later. Good thing I had that T&G from a few minutes before. Restarted there and flew to CYYJ a few hours later, finishing during work lunch hour.
Learned a lot about the X Cub - I don’t mind it actually. The two complaints are the avionics bugs with DIRECT TO and just the lack of experience with landing the tail dragger. I haven’t outright CRASHED on a landing, but they’re all somewhat dicey.
THANK YOU SeedyL and FactualGull for hosting and organizing!

Hi everyone,
This is a reminder that the deadline to submit your Stage 2 completion time is TODAY. I’m currently missing Stage 2 times from six people who completed Stage 1, so be sure I get your time logged correctly if I haven’t already done so. You can validate that I’ve captured your time accurately by checking the Results spreadsheet here:
Also, we will be hosting an event “Closing Ceremonies and Awards Presentation” on my Twitch channel at 8pm ET / 5pm PT / 0000Z tonight. Come join us for some final thoughts about this race, a preview of the next event in the series (Cannonball Run), followed by a multiplayer community group flight.
