Arrow Wow!

Clap, clap, clap! Thanks, Vlad, for having the guts to live this adventure, and the generosity to share it so eloquently with us. I have held a hunderd questions about logistics, but can only cheer now! Marvelous!
Most respectfully,
Roger

...AND two Canadian provinces and one Canadian territory. We appreciate Vlad's trip write-ups (with pictures!) up here too. Especially since I am (still) building and RV-9A.

Thanks Vlad

My building-batteries are FULLY charged. Thanks for the great tour and the demonstration of how capable these garage-built aircraft really are.

2018? Sounds like an around the world tour is in order. Need a wingman?

Cheers!

Incredible trip write-up! that was one amazing journey, while imagining I was flying along with you looking at all those adventurous photos, I was asking myself, where would I set down IF the fan stopped? either a maliciously well maintained aircraft, very large ball shaped things down there, or a watchful guardian angel, maybe a little bit of everything! Bravo! thanks for sharing!

Have to love autocorrect! The quote above made me laugh out loud visualizing a malicious maintenance program on my plane. I'd rather have a meticulously maintained aircraft
