Bhagat, wonderfull! I see the SFA plane (what's her name? SoFiA maybe? wisdom) comes close to belgium. Is it still possible to participate?

"SoFiA" ... that's great, Ludo! Maybe that's what we should call her. Unfortunately it's too late to add more pilots to the tour, but are their any WT pilots near you? Perhaps you can arrange to fly with them and sign the log book.

Andy, thanks for the kudos, and for the artistic guidance!

Bhagat, I am (as close as possible but still being able to write this) at loss for words! The W.T. homepage, the machine itself (I like SoFIa, every aircraft should have a name), all the ideas and work put into this project makes me very, very proud to be a part of it all!
Good luck to all of you flying her!
Cheers,
Johan

Actually, I think 95% of the credit should go to Bhagat for making this site to bring us all together from our respective points on the globe.  The other 5% of the credit goes to Sir Isaac Newton for creating calculus, a college course so boring the mind is bound to wander

Well, now that this thing is under way I hope to see it in my mailbox soon.

p.s. What's the call on letting people fly the WT Flyer who happen to be at the flying field?  On one hand the more the merrier, on the other hand there's a greater risk os losing/damaging the plane.  Any thoughts?

Well Jim, I guess the answer is "it depends." We can't predict when the package might be ready to ship to your address. Perhaps it'll be late in September so that there won't be a long delay. Otherwise we may have to skip your address on the tour.

I'm trying to encourage every pilot to check in here and attempt to contact the next pilot in line before shipping. That way we can verify that addresses are correct, and that someone will be there to receive the package.

Will you have access to this forum during September?

>Will you have access to this forum during September?

If anything, very limited. I doubt there are many cybercafe's in the wilds of Scotland but I might be able to pinch a few minutes on a PC of people we'll be visiting .. but, who knows?

That's a judgement call for each pilot, but I say it's better to err on the conservative side. There's nothing special about SoFiA that you can't get from other models, and the personal fun one might have should be tempered by the larger importance of completing the tour successfully.

This issue is also addressed in the Pilot's Guide.
