Yeah, I haven't had a CR that made me more mad, upset, frustrated, and wait till the very last minute that I was allowed to complete it than this one. You'd figure after about 5 times practicing, and doing multiple other routes with similar complexity that'd you be able to determine if it were you or the plane...


But I guess doing the practice runs in the late hours of the night didn't help that either!

Thanks guys, I'm pretty sure I'm going to be staying in this one for a while (that is until of course, I learn the other, baby maddog sitting in my hangar...)
