    Default 1,000 Miles in a Carbon Cub

    Last Fall I moved my Carbon Cub from Roche Harbor, Washington (WA09) to Santa Maria, CA (KSMX). With a friend we documented the trip with 3 video cameras including a 4K camera on the wing. Two installments have been published documenting the trip. Here is the first. Second will be in next post. In 50 years of flying I never had more fun on an airplane ride.

    Great video. Flying low and slow on a big trip looks like lots of fun. It's not about getting to the destination but enjoying the flight it self. In our Rv10 we go high, suck O2 and plan for 1000nm or better a day. We miss lots of neat things you would see down low. We are looking forward to finishing and traveling the west below the mountain peaks......and landing at the places we always wish we found land😃

    Goes perfect with Cheerios, a very relaxing and immersive experience. However, if your goal was to hobble my desire for CC ownership, you two have failed miserably...And thank you for that.

    Thanks Fred and Bob. I appreciate the effort to let us in on your journey. My home base is Sisters, OR but I usually work summers in the Siskiyou County area. My almost completed EX will be based there this summer. I am looking forward to circling Pilot Rock at less than RV speeds.
