No radio? No problem. No XPDR? Oops. You'd have to be pretty far out over
Lake Michigan to be outside the ORD class B 30nm mode C veil. So, that
depends on your definition of risk. Do you mind being 15 miles offshore
with
no floats and a battery operated radio that might not transmit to shore
and
no XPDR so that they could track your splash?

That's too much risk for me. I'd stick to the farm fields south and west
of
the class B veil.


Most Cubs and Champs were built without electrical systems and thus are
exempt from the transponder requirements of the Mode C veil.
