Sensenich (pronounced Sensen-ICK) is one of the best-known prop manufacturers in the world, long supplying Lycoming and Continental aircraft engines, but also airboat makers. In 2012 Sensenich came out with a line of props specifically aimed at the Light-Sport Aircraft community and they can serve Rotax and Jabiru as well as Lycoming and Continental.

Sennheiser Aviation — S1 Digital Headsets
As one who is lucky to fly lots of airplanes, questions about which aircraft I recommend are common (hint: try PlaneFinder 2.0 under the Plane Research tab). A close second is, “Do you have a particular headset you like?” The question is logical since I often use whatever is in the cockpit of the airplane I fly. It didn’t take long before I recognized one of the very best is the Sennheiser S1. It performs well, but the main reason to recommend it? It is extraordinarily comfortable. Check this video to see why.
Vertical Power — Electronic Circuit Breaker (and more!)
Vertical Power makes electronic circuit breakers. Unsure what that means? Don’t feel alone, but join us with this video and learn what we learned. After hearing more about the ECB — which is more impressive than you think — we’ll move on to the VP 400 “Runway Seeker.” Now, this is something you might want in your LSA or homebuilt aircraft. If the stuff hits the fan, one simple button can make everything lots better. Still unsure? Well… watch this video and you can learn stuff you should know.
Magnaghi Aeronautica — Sky Arrow (0712)
Sky Arrow, now available in blue and white (you hear the humor about “Any color you like…” on the video) from Magnaghi Aeronautica, the large Italian aerospace company that took over the Sky Arrow design and manufacturing after the previous company failed. This beautiful flying Light-Sport Aircraft was in limbo for a few years but Magnaghi rescued it. Sky Arrow has often been used for training disabled persons thanks to hand controls. Here what changed after Magnaghi took over.
Heart of America — LSA and light aviation event
The first-ever Heart of America LSA and light aviation event plans to “end the season” for recreational aircraft shows, said principal organizer Doc’ Bailey (who is known for being the man behind the Renegade LSA and the installation of Lycoming engines on his and other brands of LSA). A new location with support from the University of Missouri promises good things in the central U.S.
Quad City Ultralights — Challenger (0912)
MIDWEST LSA EXPO 2012 — One of our series of many short videos from the fall show, this one on the Challenger. Producer Quad City Ultralights is one of the most successful light aircraft kit producers in aviation with more than 2,500 aircraft flying and stable leadership of more almost 30 years of the same ownership. In this short video, we speak to one of their good local dealers, Jim Robinson, proprietor of Erie Airpark.
Kolb Aircraft — Firefly (0912)
MIDWEST LSA EXPO 2012 — One of our series of many short videos from the fall show, this one on the Kolb Firefly. In the very same month that FAA’s Part 103 turned 30 years old, we look at a legitimte Part 103 fixed wing design. The Firefly is mated to a stable of other popular Kolb airplanes that you build as a kit (though Firefly can legally be factory assembled or built for you by anyone).
Valley Engineering — Backyard Flyer
Valley Engineering does it all. They fabricate and build one and two seat airplanes, they carve their own props (under the well-known Culver brand), and they fashion their own four stroke engine (based on the Generac generator engine). Perhaps it is doing all this that allows the Smith family to offer unique, well-flying, and very reasonably priced airplanes. In this video we check out their Part 103 model, the Backyard Flyer.
U-Fly-It — Aerolite 103 (2011)
Terry Raber has returned with his charming Aerolite 103. He left the business for a time and another man tried to replicate the creation. Now, Terry is back under his Streamline (as in add-on strut fairing) brand. Aerolite 103 is a remarkably well-equipped genuine Part 103 ultralight vehicle that you can buy and fly for about $15,000 though you’ll want to get up-to-date information.
