Evektor has adhered closely to a principle called CANI… Continuous and Never Ending Improvement. The Czech company’s aircraft have seen exactly that, a series of continuous changes. In this video, AB Flight’s Art Tarola tells us about some changes that might please aircraft buyers. Art and Steve Minnich of Dreams Come True are the key representatives of all Evektor aircraft. Check it all out in this video.

Magni Gyro — Two models
We speak with Greg Gremminger, the longtime importer of the Magni line out of Italy. Greg helps us understand the LSA rules for gyros (which have long been in contention) and shows us around his two birds at the Midwest LSA Expo in 2012. We look at the open cockpit, tandem seating M-22 Voyager model plus the newer side-by-side, fully-enclosed M-24 Orion model. These are kits but the build is modestly low. Have a watch and learn for yourself.
Tenn-Air — Jabiru-Powered CH-750
If you like Zenith Aircraft’s CH-750 STOL — widely regarded as a “Sky Jeep” – you’ve been able to buy and build for some years, but you had to purchase a kit after a related company, AMD, ceased operations. Now, Pete Krotje explains how he formed a new company, Tenn-Air, to fully build the CH-750. Powered by the energetic 120-hp Jabiru engine, this bird performs (I flew it earlier and can attest to its performance). Here about Pete’s plans to offer interested pilot a buy-and-fly model.
Quicksilver Aeronautics — GT500
Quicksilver is one of light aviation’s strongest brands, and also one of the biggest with more than 15,000 delivered since the early 1970s. In this video we speak with national sales guru Todd Ellefson about the company’s plans to achieve Special Light-Sport Aircraft status meaning you will be able to buy a ready-to-fly GT500 or Sport 2S model. Kits will remain available and you can hear about other operations to provide models to enthusiasts.
Sonex — AeroVee engine and airframe models
Sonex is one the world’s most successful kit aircraft producers and they do it all. Sonex makes several interesting airframes and we’ll have a look at them. Yet first we’ll have CEO Jeremy Monnett show us around their AeroVee engine. They sell kits, and the engine is also a kit, not that it takes too much time to assemble. Hear all Jeremy’s advice about powerplants and airframes from the Oshkosh, Wisconsin company that does it all and very well.
Lisa Aircraft — Akoya seaplane
One of the most attention-getting aircraft at AirVenture 2012 was the Lisa Akoya, and no wonder. Akoya has design qualities and features not found on any other aircraft we’ve seen. After the airshow, the company announced new plans regarding financing so the future has some questions marks. Yet something this beautiful is going to emerge one day. Join us as we a tour of the eye-popping Akoya inside and out.
Just Aircraft — Highlander SUPERSTOL
An aircraft that grabbed everyone’s attention at AirVenture 2012 was the new Highlander Superstol from the South Carolina company. Here’s a video you want to watch as we show touchdown after touchdown to show just how that marvelous gear with the 20-inch range (measured at the spindle). In flight footage also shows the automatic slats in operation and our interview of Troy Woodland will tell you how they did it all. You’ll enjoy this one!
Quicksilver — MX Sprint (customized)
Here’s a bright Quicksilver Sprint you may want to tour with us. Owner/pilot Jason Pearson bought this very new-looking airplane ten years ago (the kit had been delivered ten years before that). Shortly after he bought it he took it all apart down to every single bolt. As he rebuilt, he made some customizations and additions. You can see it all as we have a close look at this 42-mph-cruising, open-cockpit light aircraft. still photo by James Lawrence
Arion Aircraft — Lightning, Improved (2012)
Many of us have long admired the supersleek Lightning LS-1 and now it’s better than ever. We spoke to co-designer and company leader Nick Otterback about changes to the aircraft and also about Arion’s 2012 FAA very thorough audit. That’s good reassurance for buyers but what’s more fun is a newly enlarged tail. Nick tells us how this affects and improves an already great Light-Sport Aircraft (also available as a kit).
UL Power Engines — 2012 Update
One of the toughest things to do in aviation is bring a new engine to market. Pilots/buyers take time to gain confidence in new powerplants even moreso than with new airframes. We spoke to UL Power representative Robert Helms last year at the Midwest LSA Expo and this year he updates us on new engine options all the way up to 196 horsepower. All engines have FADEC (Full Authority Digital Engine Control), just like far more expensive FAA-certified engines.
