Piston Aircraft
Just been looking through a few of the old posts. A couple of questions. Is CBFS ever going to go back prewar to Imperial Airways and beyond eg Daimler and HP etc. Are there any plans for aircraft like the Hermes post war ie WW2.

Re: York Fuel consumption
I know this is a bit off subject, but, if you are flying a route in the York. It states in the notes if you have passengers you should fly at 7500'. When you get to a mountain range should you fly over, round or through? Although the York is capable of flying higher what about the passengers?

Re: York Fuel consumption
Thankyou all for your help and advice. Did two training flights. Both took longer than the published duration but it looks as though I am keeping within the fuel consumption parameters.

Re: York Fuel consumption
Just did the training flight to EBBR from EGLL. Flew at 7500' on power settings as stated. Took 1hour 30 minutes and used 1926lbs of fuel. I should be inside the fuel per hour rate on those figures. See what happens on the way back.
Thanks for your assistance and advice.
