anselm Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Having recently crossed the North Atlantic from Svalbard to Greenland in a small but comfortable cruiseship I even more admire the guts of those guys depending on their Little Rotax. Just want to call your attention to the website of my German Pilot friend Harro Lorenz. He will forgive me calling him a "Northern Nut" having paddled hundreds of miles of the Yukon and some Sibirian river and flown over to Canada back in 2006 in his CT. Other flights took him to Iceland, Greenland, Svalbard and around Jan Mayen. www.lornav.de Loking forward to the Page Meeting in October, Anselm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacques Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 I remember well when they stopped at my place. see the trip herehttp://www.flightdesign.com/index.php?page=home&n=34&y=2005interestingly, Harro had some modifications on his CT ( he had made a very fonctionnal shutter for the radiators...I should have taken a picture of it and ....the only time I have seen this..he had a ''split throttle lever''one for each carburator and a vacuum gauge (installed between the seats) for each here is a picture of his installation with the vacuum tubing on each carbs long flights over water is a question of risk management and 'tolerance' AND preparation some guys can take more that others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runtoeat Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 Thanks for posting the info on this flight. I read the flight diary in Jacques' link. If anyone doubts the capability of the CTSW, ithey might take the time to read this flight diary. No surprise that there is a good deal of luck involved with successfully completing a flight such as this. Not so sure everyone would be fortunate enough to have a new propeller sent in 2 days while sitting out on an Arctic airport! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
