    Dude! So cool to see you guys hanging and flying here... the views are clearly CGI but look completely real man nice job. What an adventure well done!

    Great flight, I always enjoy your videos man. Learning a lot from your landing videos every time.
  • Excellent video and helpful to see since I still have yet to make that flight. I got a kick out of them asking if you were pipeline or life flight 😂. Also interesting that you had more trouble getting service from Joshua Approach than SoCal approach.

    Really nice video! You get some great fuel economy in the egg. In addition to flying I ride motorcycles. I have a Goldwing which is nice for long trips but a friend of mine has several scooters which is equally as nice. I see parallels to flying in that being in a smaller, maybe slower plane, you can see so much more and get into places a bigger plane would have challenges with.

    Nice flight. Great weather. Surprised you guys weren’t wearing life vests.
  • @Alpha-Lima
    Your aircraft is very interesting. Such great economy and current avionics. Were you able to do full tanks with you and your passenger?
