Can the Lightning safely make the 398 mile (346
nautical mile) journey from Key West Fl. to Cancun,
Mexico? Being that you would be flying accross the
Gulf of Mexico (entirely over water), would this be
something to try? Charles

The NXT (only the first was called NEMISIS after the
designers IF1 racer)
kitplane uses a lipstick cam to see forward while
taxiing, but I think it's
on one of the gear. The Lightning does have a long
nose anyhow, and
although you can see over it in landing, using flaps
helps to get a better
view. Brian W.

Yes, depending on the winds, but take a life raft.
I'd look for a refuel point on one of the islands (not Cuba) to cut down the long overwater leg.
I've done 400 nm legs in N17EF.
