Default Soaring across US Canada border (and back)

Ah, well... I may have to limit myself to the Colorado, Idaho, and New
Mexico Rockies for the foreseeable future.

Yes, Dan, you can fly your experimental aircraft in Canada.

BUT, you need to contact Transport Canada to request a "Validation of Foreign Flight Authority". This costs $CAD 100 and is valid for one year. The process is outlined here (sorry, I don't know how to put in a link):

An aircraft with a Standard Type Certificate can come into Canada without hassle.
