Come and join us in The Wilga Bush Racing Series!*
*Wilga encouraged, but not required 
Casual group flights with a focus on fun and a bit of friendly “semi-racing” competition in some stunning locations. If you do own the Wilga, we are using the 35X or 80X, but feel free to join in any Bush type aircraft if you don’t have the Willy!
NEXT EVENT:
Pyrenees, Spain
Saturday 6th May 2023 at 16:00 UTC (17:00 GMT)
Server: will try East USA to see if it’s any better for @OneMoreBulleit
Going to do something a little different for this event.
This is a STOL Rally. I have made a “spiral” flight plan (download below), which should take around 2 hours (including time for a bit of a stop for everyone to land at each leg, but we won’t hang around for long - quick turn-arounds).
SUMMARY:
• AIRCRAFT: Wilga 35X or 80X (or similar performance light GA / bush plane)
• MEET: Sotonera Airstrip [LES4]
• WHEN: Saturday 6th May 2023 at 16:00 UTC (17:00 GMT)
• SERVER: East USA
• REGISTER: Post your name here or just turn up a little before the time and we’ll see you there. Feel free to Join my Discord (link below)
• FUEL: 100% filled
• LIVERY: Any DEFAULT Wilga livery (important so we see each others Willys 
)
• ENGINE REALISM: On (please, but see the route guide - it’s not required if you prefer not to deal with Shock Cooling on this course!)
• FLIGHT PLAN: Download PLN here: Dropbox - PYRENEES BUSH TOUR - Baracus.PLN - Simplify your life
Meet at LES4 airfield. Ideally join my Discord Voice Radio Channel so we can synchronise starting and talk during the event.
MORE INFO:
Please install this mod if you can:
Our Flight Plan includes all but 1 of the new (fictional) landing spots in the mod, so you will need to install that. Reason I didn’t include the final location is it’s just too far away only to backtrack again to be worth adding 30 mins to the flight, but the others are unique and are really worth visiting so hope you can stick with us to the end!
It will start off gently, passing by a POI and some lush visuals, then more intense in the middle with some mountains making it a bit on the edge for the Willy’s ceiling (not really, but you don’t have much room to reach the needed height after the previous landing), then a bit of a breather on the journey to one of the farthest spots in the north east (but I could NOT exclude this one - really nice!), then a few more close to each other towards the end.
Some are short, some are in or on tricky terrain, some are more easy - but the challenge will be to approach (hopefully all from the same direction) and see who can stop safely in the shortest distance.
So when you stop, please put your chocks on and wait for everyone to land, so we can see who “wins” each leg!
Advise to watch your mixture - if you don’t burn full fuel for the whole event there will be enough fuel with 100% tanks, but if you go full rich and revs for the whole thing, you might come up a bit short for the last couple of stops. A lot of the trip is at around 6k ft altitude so you need to reduce mix a bit anyway.
Really looking forward to this one - I know you will all enjoy it immensely and it should be a good laugh!
