Lycoming — O-233 LSA Engine
Lycoming is the storied aircraft engine brand name that even predates aircraft as you’ll hear in this interview with the company’s Mike Kraft. Lycoming has worked closely with Renegade Light Sport aircraft company in Lee’s Summit, Missouri and that is now paying off with installations in more and more LSA. Optimized for use in Light-Sport, the O-233 has lost some 40 pounds and is raring to go even while sustaining its 2,400 TBO.
Cessna — Skycatcher (2012)
Cessna had a great 2011 with more LSA registrations than any other brand, by a wide margin and for the first time. In this video we speak with new Skycatcher Business Leader Tracy Leopold and regional sales manager Kelly Spaulding about the leadership changes, price changes, and more regarding the LSA entry from the world’s largest airplane producer.
BRS Parachutes — Boris Popov
BRS Parachutes is the leading developer of emergency parachutes intended to save the entire airplane including all occupants. The company has saved more than 276 lives (the numbers seems always to increase so check their website for the latest count). At Sun ‘n Fun 2012, we spoke with company founder and early developer, Boris Popov, about the range of BRS products.
North Wing — Solairus (2012)
Here’s the sharp new Solairus (yes, that’s the right spelling) from North Wing, the premiere American producer of weight-shift trike ultralights and Light-Sport Aircraft. Solairus easily qualifies as a Part 103 ultralight vehicle meaning no license is needed. The fresh design is a departure from the usual trike and the one we examine is powered with a four stroke engine with electric starting. You’ll want to watch the video to get all the details.
North Wing — Maverick (2012)
North Wing makes more trikes than you might think. We also have a video on the sweet little Solairus, a soaring trike. In this video we review the Maverick, a more deluxe single seater with a beefier engine from Kawasaki. Yet even with the additional features, Maverick still fits into Part 103 where no pilot license, airman’s medical, or N-numbers are needed.
BRS Parachute — An actual save!
This video is a bit longer (21 min.) than our usual fare and it’s a bit different in that we are not reviewing an aircraft. In this case, you can hear a most compelling story of a man and his daughter who were literally saved by the use of his BRS parachute in his Cirrus SR22. You rarely get to hear one of these experiences explained so well. After he lost his engine over the ocean the pilot deployed his parachute. Listen closely and learn!
Evektor — Harmony LSA
Evektor, the first ever Light-Sport Aircraft has been busy updating their Sportstar for years. In 2011 they brought their Harmony LSA to America with even more changes. This time the wing shape went from rectangular “Hershey Bar” shape to a tapered tip along with many other changes. Co-importer Art Tarola helps us understand all the differences.
LSA America — Allegro 2007 (Full Length Pilot Report)
Here is the second installment of our full-length pilot reports, by which we mean we give much more than a quick glance at an aircraft. This time we review the Allegro 2007, the model that is now 100% Made in the USA.
Near the start, some wind noise interfers but this improves.
