Just before touch down in Ensenada, Mexico. Its an incredible feeling to have flown the airplane we built in our garage all the way to Mexico! What an accomplishment!!

Ya, Thanks, Glen! Its good to hear from you! We made a stop to get fuel and say hello to my parents who live there. The low wing was Mark flying our RV6A as my wing man. We had a great time! We hope to see you again soon!

By any chance did you land in Hurricane, UT for fuel on the way down to Mexico? I was leaving my hangar and saw a CH 801 taking off with another low wing type. It sounded tubo and looked great- from one CH 801 to another - great job!
