The Icon Trip to Canada (Mont Tremblanc), Oshkosh and back to Canada begins this week
I am very excited to perform my first international XC to the Québec Laurentians area near Mont Tremblanc QC. Will post pictures of the trip as things progress. Once I am settled at the Lake house, it will be time for planning the 12 hour flight to Oshkosh.

Hi Michel....That trip sounds like a blast. I will be RVing to Oshkosh this year. Got my tickets in the mail this week. Will be there all week. Be great to meet up and talk Icon. Your thread on the conversion and prop upgrade has me thinking! I will be in touch. Tim

I guess it’s deep enough for the plane to extend and retract the gear close to your beach. In my case, it’s shallow for 300 feet.

All tucked-away in her forested tunnel. The Mobi-Mats are spiked to the sand. The trailering kit REALLY came in handy for creating a 4 point tie-down system.

Started to explore the thousands of lakes in Québec. Pretty amazing selection. Flew to a huge reservoir today in St. Michel des Monts. Great restaurant that caters to seaplanes. Moorings, a great beach and LL100 dock with lots of rubber padding.

Saturday before It’s a bit early. The way Oshkosh goes is people will come and go throughout the week. I typically like to show up Sunday before it starts and leave by Thursday. The locals all come in on later in the week roughly Friday, Sat, Sun and they aren’t particularly aviation oriented it’s a fascinating culture change. The real aviation people are there Monday thru Thursday.

The S/N he has doesn't have / can't get the the AP. The wiring job and retrofit is just too much of a mod. He flies it like a man!
