Title: Full VFR Stapleford to Clacton in A2A C172

This looks like an awesome little plane and quite an entertaining run.

This level of detail in this flight is brilliant.  Would be up for trying this in a baron or Skyhawk?

I love these small planes, I like the route proposed. How much time do we need to reserve for the trip?

Rotterdam to Lugano in Switzerland via Luxembourg was also recommended in the comments in the vid you posted Sparko.

Happy to try anything really, I just need more hours in the log book!

I hope to be around this evening at some point.

I think it's a 30 min hop, so probably about an hour will be needed with the prep included and to allow for any problems or issues pepople may have.

Taking the stock Skyhawk is probably the best match

Flew this route tonight (there and back) and both landings are quite tricky but great fun.  Took me about half an hour each leg.

I think this is perfect for our first official fly in.  I'll get something posted up soon.
