Hi all,

Just wondering if any homebuilt aircraft have crossed the Atlantic
non-stop - who was it and which aircraft.

Also of note is the RC aeromodel crossing last August. Newfoundland
to Ireland, 3030 km (1883 miles) at an average speed of about 78 km/hr
(48.4 mph). Custom designed autopilot using GPS, piezo rate gyros,
and a pressure transducer. Two telemetry transmitters onboard, one
for position and status data to a satellite and one for terrestrial
data transmission during the departure and landing phases. An amazing
accomplishment. Here is a short photo tour,
