Lots of folks saw a vaguely familiar airplane at the Midwest LSA Expo 2010… but, like myself, we looked and looked again and couldn’t quite place the airplane. It turns out what fooled all of us initially was the installation of a 120-hp Jabiru 3300 under a new more aggressive cowling. Flying this airplane at the event, I came away a believer. I’ve always loved the S-19 (like most Rans models) and with this smooth-running powerplant, I found even more to enjoy. Come hear more details in our video.

Tomark Aero — Viper SD-4
Tomark Aero’s Viper SD-4 is a handsome all-metal low wing with a wide, distinctively-appointed cockpit. The new entry features conventional lines and familiar construction materials. Viper’s back-swinging canopy brings huge visibility and the cockpit appears to be focused on comfortable cross country flying. Tomark uses CAD design and CNC precision cutting methods to make this well finished LSA. US distribution is handled by Tomark Aero USA, located in Frisco, TX.
Ibis Aircraft — Magic GS 700
The energetic folks behind the ApolloFox and the extraordinary Evolution Revo (weight shift trike) are now representing the Columbian-designed Ibis Magic. An all-metal LSA, the Apollo team has elected to fully load it with a large new glass display from MGL, autopilot, emergency airframe parachute, and more. Here’s a new one you’ll want to examine soon.
Arion — Lightning ELSA (2010)
At AirVenture 2010, we took a close look at Light-Sport Aircraft builder Dave Jilanti’s Lightning LS-1, an early example of a sleek low-wing built as an Experimental LSA. This handsome quasi-homebuilt is one of three ways you can own the Lightning, an all-American, all-composite Light-Sport of impressive performance from Arion based in Shelbyville, Tennessee.(Note: I incorrectly referred to “Don” instead of Dave Jilanti as the builder.)
Evolution Trikes — Revo
Among many of the world’s deluxe trikes, Evolution Trikes’ Revo rises to the top of the stack. The all-American-made hot rod is loaded with custom-designed features that should attract the closest examination. Revo also performs like a winner with blazing top speed yet reassuring landing approach speeds. The sophisticated carriage handles rough fields with ease.
Zlin — iCub (Savage)
You may know the Zlin Savage, now distributed in America by SportairUSA (the same folks that bring you the Sting, Sirius, and other cool light airplane gear). But iCub improves on the already great-flying Savage by adding the very latest of new technology. The primary instrument up front is an Apple iPad. Communicating via an onboard wireless system, the aft seat occupant has an iPhone 4 for smaller but otherwise nearly identical instrumentation.
Icon Aircraft — A5 Seaplane (2011)
One of the biggest splashes – literally and figuratively – in the Light-Sport Aircraft industry was the entry of California’s Icon A5. The super sleek LSA design is new nose to tail, wingtip to wingtip. In fact, no one ever saw anything quite like the A5. Mainstream media has fallen in love with the distinctive design. Join us for our LSA Insider view.
Skykits — Rampage
Skykits – formerly of Canada, now of Paris… Tennessee, that is – has offered a series of Italian STOL designs, which they assembled north of the border. These days a U.S.-based company, Skykits branched off with their own design, this gleaming Rampage. Not only does Rampage look terrific in navy blue over highly-polished aluminum, it offers short-field flying capabilities and more. Come inside and have a look with us.
Paradise — P1 (2011)
Paradise has found success from buyers to rise into the top 20 of LSA manufacturers. While the company has changed U.S. distributors, the Brazilian base for this attractive all-metal, yoke-controlled aircraft is healthy and growing. We spoke with the designer and learn more about the large-cabin airplane at Sun ‘n Fun 2011.
