I bought Mite N10301 from David Skipper of Ocala, Florida, early in the summer of 2000 and flew it home to California in two stages.  First I brought the plane to Boyd Maddox in Houston, Texas, so he could check it over and make a few small changes.  Later, I flew it the rest of the way to Frazier Lake, California.  These are some pictures I took along the way.

Here is N10301 in Ocala, Florida.
