The bottom line as of now is that if you fly your bird near the border keep a tent in your trunk to camp out while they sort out the mess when you try to re-enter OR make sure you have someone around who can stand on the other side of the border to help you fly it back across the border.
Ron - Thanks for the practical account of things! I posted the web site link as a reference. However the reality of how it actually works (or doesn't work! ) is appreciated.
