|
I'm flying a model III-A (Probably a prototype Mod III) with the 582. I am
planning a trip all the way across Canada in '09 and at the present time I'm
a bit worried that the 582 may not be the best choice of engines. If I
change out the engine I'll have to get it inspected again and may have to do
another fly off. That means that if I change out it will have to be done
before summer '08.
I flew my 582 home from Perth in Western Australia to Loxton in South Australia no problem. 14 hours and 180 litres of fuel if I remember right.

The distance isn't what is concerning me. I intend to be flying a round trip. The first 5000mi. or so will be against prevailing winds. Then there is the little thing of crossing the prairies on floats. There will be few places to land after that gauntlet the fun really starts as I will have to depend on getting to 9 or 10 thousand feet to weave my way through the Rocky Mountains. I haven't decided on a return route yet but my westward route should include stops in or near all Canadian capitol cities.
