When Dan Johnson was with us last week, we didn't even begin to cover everything that happened at the AERO show in Germany. This time we focus on some of the happenings in the ASTM meetings and in the electric aircraft world.

Dan Johnson held forth in the LSA Mall at Sun 'n Fun last week. We talk with him about how the light sport vendors did both in sales and in weather survival. We also talk about some of the great improvements over in Paradise City this year.

Sun 'n Fun is coming up in just a couple of weeks and Dan visits with us about some of the things we can expect at the show. Building on the success of the LSA Tour after the Sebring Light Sport Expo, some manufacturers will be making stops together both to and from the Florida convention to show off the planes in airports on the path to Lakeland.
US Sport Aircraft Takes Over from Piper
IFirst off, a correction: Though I took the proposed renaming of PiperSport to “SuperCruiser” directly from a Czech Sport Aircraft (CSA) news release, the new name did not stick. It’ll be the SportCruiser as it was before Piper assumed worldwide distribution. Widely reported in aviation media, Piper abruptly ended their almost-year-long relationship with manufacturer CSA in what ...

Dan Johnson joins us to talk about more of the LSA news that came out of the Sebring Expo. Of course some of the biggest news came just before the event with Piper saying that they were splitting with Czech Sport Aircraft. Dan talks about what happened, what is going on, and what Piper may be doing in the future. He also talks about the LSA barnstorming tour some LSA manufactures went on in Florida after the Sebring event.
Sebring Wrap Up…and Beyond
I’d call this Day 4 but rush-deadline work for the mag intervened after the last day at Sebring so just getting to it now. The Sebring experience gets better every year, I believe precisely because Bob Woods keeps it consistently valuable without tricking it up with a lot of extraneous booths selling things like Miracle Kitchen ...
Sebring’s Over… but Next: Florida LSA Tour
Every now and then the marketing geniuses in Light-Sport aviation have an exceptionally good idea. Here’s one of them. Initially organized by SportairUSA’s Bill Canino and now-American Legend marketer Dave Graham (formerly of Gobosh), a flock of planes including five of the most popular brand names will set off for Sebring-After-Sebring… or what they are calling The 2011 Florida ...
Two More SLSA Models Appear on Radar
In multiple ways Sebring 2011 is starting off the aviation year in grand fashion. Crowds are strong through the first three days. The LAMA Dinner with special guest AOPA President Craig Fuller was a big hit to the standing-room-only crowd. Weather has been warm and accommodating — though poor conditions to the north prevented several ...
Sebring Day 3: Busy Blustery Bouncy Fun
The day dawned foggy and solid overcast…then cleared almost instantaneously…then snap overcast again. The wind grew… and grew… the temperature dropped, and by the end of it, everyone agreed it was an unseasonably chilly day, more like San Francisco in winter than Sebring, Florida. But people flew, and flew. Folks came out in good numbers ...
Sebring Day 2: Quick Takes on Cool Stuff
Here’s a glancing blow at some products you might want to check out in depth: A cute new LSA named Viper SD-4 showed up, beautifully built (in Slovenia) and should be very attractive to anyone who likes the conventional approach of an all-metal airframe done in the traditional way — with a modern technological boost. The ...
