   Approximately how far could you fly in one of those planes, if you desired?

   @neanderthalis: it depends of the amount of gas you have... the maximum is 87 liters, and you can fly for about 5 hours with that at an average speed of 200 km/h, so theoretically a distance of 1000km... but it would be a bit risky to push the plane to this limit....

   Thank you for sharing. That could probably take you to another island group I suppose. May I ask your longest single flight time so far?

   The islands all around (Bora Bora, Maupiti, Taha'a, Huahine, and even Tahiti and Moorea) are easily reachable... For now, my longest solo flight was the tour of Taha'a, our neighbour island, for 30mn... I can assure you that when I came back, I was really exhausted (and happy of course) as my concentration was at it's maximum for the whole flight... And with the instructor, I made flights for about 1 hour, very exhausting as well, even if you see marvellous land- and seascapes... You must have a total concentration at any time in the air...
