Dynon’s SkyView
EAA’s Rod Hightower to speak
The show I look forward to the most every winter is the Sebring U.S. Sport Aviation Expo, the premier gathering of Light Sport industry vendors in America. *** This is the eighth go ’round for the expo; each year it offers more pure fun for LSA pilots present and future. *** This year sports a noticeably upscale look, with new management (show founder Robert Woods remains very active in the show) and a stronger promotional flavor. *** Major sponsors this year include our own Plane & Pilot! *** The four-day gathering, which kicks off next Thursday, Jan. 19, promises to be the biggest show yet. *** Lots of return and new LSA exhibitors, display booths with the latest hot gear, and symposiums, including the new Bristell low wing monoplane and Pipistrel Sinus 50-foot span motorglider, both of which I hope to fly for future reports. Avionics leader Dynon will hold full on classes to teach the many ins and outs of its powerhouse SkyView EFIS display… for free! EAA‘s new head honcho Rod Hightower will speak at the annual LAMA dinner Thursday night.There’s a ton more things to talk about, check it out right here for all the details. *** If you’ve got a hankering for early Spring- style LSA tire-kickin’ and demo flying, program Sebring into your GPS and get on down thar!
