Flightaware only says 9:30 enroute but you need to had 24 hours to get the total flight time of 33:30 enroute.



This page talks about him some. http://www.beechtalk.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=75593&sid=c960646193aff80f9b53c30ca51217a0

Whenever i get my RV-7 built, i want to fly around the world in it.

 

[USMCmech]

I hope he has some good books to read

He's in my EAA chapter. I first met him when he was still building the plane. He's planning a flight around the world via a pole to pole routing.

Omg. Thats a long day!

MY GOD!
Good luck to him, a 400 gallon tank in that plane is HUGE

 

[Mark815]

Absolutely incredible!

 

[Apophis]

And I thought some of my flights were long. Good luck to him!

 

[Pilotforhire587]

Not that flight aware is accurate but his flight disappears over the panhandle of Oklahoma. Anyone have a status on this flight?

Looks like he made it to JAX.

Impressive.

He made it.

Configuration 3 is single place with the tanks listed for configuration 2 plus: copilot footwell and seat tank (rudder bar with no right side rudders installed) 44.5 gallons. Copilot seat to gear box tank, 44 gallons. 2 soft drum tanks, 66 gallons each and a soft cushon tank on top of the copilot hard tank, 37 gallons.
Empty weight: 2068 lbs CG: 88.6
Total fuel capacity: 443 gallons, Staying within published CG limits limits fuel to 399 gallons.

In this "expedition" configuration the tenaitive max gross weight is 4,800 lbs. We plan to test up to this max weight in small incremental increases. Estimated minimum runway at this weight is 7,000 ft, sea level, standard day. Calculated stall speed is 86 kts. Estimated still air range 6,000+ nm.

I guess the range is now 7000+. 39H 16m

United needs to tighten up their scope.

 

[Itchy]

I can't imagine all the little details. Like punching a grumpy.

Does this guy have a website where you got this information?

Nevermind, I found it.

 

[Cal Goat]

Wow. This guy gets at least 2 beers from me if I ever meet him.

 

[dasleben]

Jeesh, I've done a couple decently long legs in the 767 (ferry from JFK to Kuwait, for instance), but nothing near this long. Amazing. Crazy, but amazing.

 

[I_Money]

I did it on flight sim - it's easy

 

[swisspilot]

This is crazy!! I use to be amazed by single engine planes stopping in Vanuatu on their way to Australia, with 14-15 hours legs on their shoulders
