Crossing the US Border - pls help!

Just wondering if anyone could shed any light on this issue?

I am looking to make my first trip into the US in a C reg 172. I have heard that it can be a bit of a nightmare due to the INS and US customs. What do they actually check when they arrive? Does anyone know if it is necessary to be a RESIDENT of Canada in order to lawfully take the a/c over there, since I am a Canadian who is currently a non resident?

Also, a friend of mine who is out in BC and is English (but is resident) has been told in order for him to take a C reg a/c into the US (i.e 172) as PIC, he will need a US B2 visa..?

Know this a bit of a technical issue..but any ideas or pointers to further information would be much appreciated!

Can I assume that they US guys just check your passport and the a/c docs? If that is the case then there should be no problems with a Canadian passport right?

Thanks for any leads / help!
