I thought the trip from CZL north Georgia to Sebring was rough, ice, rain, stranded in Perry, FL with a dozen LSA overnight but that was nothing compared to the flight home. Left Sunday around noon and headed North. Got to Thomasville, GA for fuel and the wheather was starting to get bad. Tried going North until we hit a wall at 600 AGL and did a 180 with the Dynon 74 and headed back to Thomasville. The wings are still on the plane but got one heck of a work out. The engine usually cruises about 125 to 130 mph and gets about 5 to 5.5 gph at 5100 rpm. Got a room and tried again Monday and departed about noon. Tuesday headed west to get around whether but ended up going south west. After lighting, terrible rain, wind I managed to get to Geneva, Alabama. The town opened there doors to us. Parked the 12 inside a hanger and took us to the Motel and dinner. Great people. Left Tuesday about 10 0'clock and got back to Calhoun, GA in 2 hours with a head wind. 209 miles. Put on 13 hours and landed at nine different airports. What a trip.
