Now that’s a cross country

By Ben Sclair · January 13, 2011 ·

Paul Leadabrand, owner of the Boise, Idaho-based Stick & Rudder Aviation, is flying a factory-built Kitfox S-LSA to the Jan. 20-23 U.S. Sport Aviation Expo in Sebring, Florida. The 2,100-mile flight will be flown VFR, of course, using only a Dynon SkyView and an iPad for navigation. Paul says, “since I will have come all this way — a short flight over to the Bahamas for a few days of warmth will be a must!”
