my paved fields are 400 and 450 miles one way away , Sebnitz, Bitterfeld, former East Germany.
Landres France which is close, is only 200 miles one way, 3 hrs. .
Heavy Stop and Go traffic ruins, kills, everything like gas ,money and precious time.
I used to fly F2F French Goodyear Diesel Profile Racing Series,(Vorobiev front ex T.R..engine),
20 years ago with my Pitman Frank Wadle now FAI F2B Team Germany.
Quit that ..spend too much time on the road and so on.
cheers
