N724DT's digital Instrument Panel contains instruments with world circumnavigation capability.  Instruments include Electronic International Engine Monitors, a Dynon SkyView EFIS & Autopilot, Garmin Radios, GPS and, if available, StarLink.  All functions are redundantly backed up for fail-safe operation.  Assuming StarLink is available, we will also have onboard video and audio satellite communications which will allow you to come along for the ride, real time!

Check in periodically to observe our progress, as we breathe life into our LongEZ.  This project has been a lifetime quest to create a high flying, cross-country transportation mode for my wife, Rachel, and me.  We can, finally, after 47+ years of an on-again-off-again building effort, see a light at the end of our never-ending project's tunnel!  We appreciate not only your interest, but also your encouragement and prayers for focus; as we are working toward our goal of N724DT's first flight - now scheduled on, or before, Dec 31, 2024!
