The world-famous low flying route in North Wales, on the doorstep of FGUK's Llanbedr headquarters, is a 26 mile course threading the valleys and hills around Machynlleth. Can you consistently lower your time and beat the other pilots around the course without breaking the sound barrier and startling the sheep? | ||
A custom AI scenario displays the route with fly-through pointers, checks for adherence to the rules, and announces and records your time - the results will be published in the following week. More information and updates in the weeks either side of the 9th on FGUK's [https://www.facebook.com/FlightGearUK Facebook page] and [https://twitter.com/FlightGearUK Twitter account]. As always at the Mach Loop, there will be photography and video and the event will be streamed live on our [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBb-2WXJuAOVh8QvsdVNrrQ YouTube channel]. | |||
Recommended choices to fly the loop competitively are Supersonic single and twin seaters, but you can bring anything within reason that doesn't make you a danger to others. Assemble at FGUK Llanbedr (EGOD) at 1900 G/U/Z (8pm BST). If you're planning to bring something unusual, we ask you to notify us in the forum to make sure all the models are visible to the camera. | |||
