In this video we’ll update the situation for the newest U.S.-based manufacturer of LSA. The video was shot just before the new factory opened.

Itec — Maverick
The Maverick is… well, a maverick among Light-Sport Aircraft. This unique flying car is one of the most unusual entries in a chock-full LSA field yet it stands out in numerous ways. And, amazingly, I-Tec’s Maverick has already won Special Light-Sport Aircraft approval. It also leaped ahead of competitors by qualifying as a “kit car,” which means it does not need to meet Federal Motor Vehicle Standards. It’s so different you’ll want to visit their website after you view the video.
Phoenix Air — Phoenix (motorglider)
If you love long, shapely wings, here’s an airplane to warm your heart. But it’s more than an LSA airplane… in fact, it’s a motorglider and a most impressive one at that. For soaring enthusiasts Phoenix is one of the most attractive choices among all Light-Sport Aircraft. But it can cruise fast and long while providing a huge safety measure of a very long glide in the unlikely event her engine should fail. See standard multiple wings and more in our video presentation of Phoenix.
Ibis — Magic (04/11)
The Ibis Magic is one we looked at earlier, when it had just come into the USA for the first time. By Sun ‘n Fun 2011, the folks at Apollo Aircraft USA had finished the assembly and were well through the pursuit of Special Light-Sport Aircraft approval. In this video we spoke with Phil Mednick (of Apollo Fox fame) and he showed us around the impressively equipped Ibis (EYE-bis) Magic, designed in Columbia.
Renegade — Renegade Lycoming (04/11)
Renegade Aircraft has been working hard, in conjunction with Lycoming engines, to prepare the Renegade (formerly known as the Falcon) for the first-ever installation of the lightened O-233 Lycoming powerplant.

Aeroprakt — A22 (2011)
From Aeroprakt in Kiev, Ukraine comes this Light-Sport Aircraft with the hugest visibility you’ll find… large clear areas allow you to see almost any direction. Aligned with their Florida assembler, Aeroprakt America, the international company that has designed many practical aircraft offers direct U.S. representation in addition to other outlets. Come have a look around the A-22 with us in this video.
LSA Tour 2011 (Dallas Texas)
The LSA Tour is an idea to bring the airshow to the visitor, rather than asking them to trek across the country to visit one of the major airshows. Following the success of the LSA Mall at events, the LSA Tour positions several top brands in close proximity to allow broad access to the representatives of these Light-Sport Aircraft. The LSA Tour has been all over the country; this video talks about the event in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
5 LSA Taildraggers
Video viewers like collections of LSA where we look at several different models and review their differences. In this edition shot at the 2011 Midwest LSA Expo, we bring in representatives from each company to help with the details as we tour five models in a circle: Zlin Savage iCub; FK12 Comet; Rans S-7 Courier; CubCrafters CarbonCub SS; and American Legend Cub. Note that this video runs 25 minutes.
FlyCool Air Conditioning — in DirectFly Alto 100 (Corbi)
The Direct Fly Alto 100 sold by Corbi Air has something different and very cool installed. In this case, “very cool” means literally air conditioning, the first ever system for a Light-Sport Aircraft. Additional video reviews describe the FlyCool system in other Light-Sport Aircraft. Here we examine the Alto 100 from Corbi Aviation. The airplane is a cool design; now it’s cool inside even on hot days.
Kolb — Mark III Nose Wheel
Kolb is one of the most familiar brands to anyone involved with ultralight or light kit aircraft. Every model they created was a taildragger. They were easy to learn but some folks simply prefer tricycle gear. So, Kolb added a nose wheel, but they left the tailwheel. Welcome to the aircraft that goes both ways… a little differently.
