That's certainly next up on the itinerary. I have a new Wife Approved item on my Bucket List; fly the RANS to Alaska. Not this summer but next, summer of 2024 if all goes well.
It will be a long trip at 100Kts. Probably need to take off 4 to 6 weeks to make it worth it.

If I had a RV, next would be getting some amphibious floats. It was fun watching progress of your project and how expectations meet reality. 5 years ago on Dec.18th 2017 post, after completing 1st wing. “I’ve mentally budgeted 2 years on the project , but it looks like it may go much faster”
