Flight Report: Sparky, FLYdude and Guppy were participating.
This was a flight to familiarize Guppy with some more SP3 functions.
Flight time was approx 0.8 hours.
During this time we had some difficulty getting all three of us in-flight
at the same time. Although lack of commmunication might play a small
role, I attribute it mostly to the SP3 MP interface and the instability of
SP3 on our(all three had problems) computers. When Guppy and Sparky
did finally get into flight, we attempted to form up. Unfortunately, Gup's
game crashed prior to the form. Thus XO was left practicing high speed
low altitude terrain following.
