Meet the eight youthful-faced Cessna “kids” that served as ambassadors for Cessna as they flew eight distinctively-painted and numbered Skycatcher LSA around the USA promoting Sport Pilot, Light-Sport Aircraft… and, of course, Skycatcher. After we meet each ambassador pilot and their dispatcher to hear of their experiences, we speak with Tracy Leopold about Cessna’s move into Primary Category certification so the company can more quick satisfy Skycatcher demand in Europe.

Jan Fridrich — LAMA Presidents Award (2012)
Jan Fridrich is known to all ByDanJohnson.com readers as the man behind the LSA market share statistics that have proven so popular.

Electric Aircraft Corp — Electraflyer ULS
Randall Fishman is widely considered the pioneer of electric aircraft, having demonstrated — and regularly flying — his Electraflyer trike at Oshkosh 2007. Now in his fourth generation, Randall’s Electraflyer ULS is the best yet, in my opinion. We get a chance to hear about its development and examine it closely. It’s so new (summer 2012) that his website doesn’t cover it yet but more will follow, he assures us.
Midwest LSA Expo 2012 — ALL Aircraft Tour
And now for something completely different — For the first time in our 200+ videos we take you on a tour of the 2012 Midwest LSA Expo and cover every single aircraft on display… not just a few highlights, but every airplane.

Magni Gyro — M24 Orion
MIDWEST LSA EXPO 2012 — One of our series of many short videos from the fall show, this one on the Magni Gyro M-24 Orion. Gyros have a special place in the hearts of some pilots… humorously called rotorheads; you know if you’re one of them. We catch up with the new side-by-side, fully-enclosed Magni M2-24 Orion and hear how this kit is to build and fly.
Magnaghi Aeronautica — Sky Arrow (0912)

This Special LSA has been around for years but had a down period after the Italian manufacturer went out of business. It has since been acquired by a large Italian aerospace company — Magnaghi Aeronautica — and they are back in production with this smooth, great flying airplane. Here more on our short (3 min) video update.
Pipistrel — Alpha Trainer (0912)
MIDWEST LSA EXPO 2012 — One of our series of many short videos from the fall show, this one is one of the newest in the LSA fleet. This is Pipistrel’s Alpha Trainer and it has already seen market success in the USA and around the world, thanks significantly to its excellent price: $85,000 (in 2012 and before expenses like shipping and FAA registration). Simple, yes, but Alpha has all a recreational pilot might want.
