Who Had LSA's at the Sport Pilot Expo?
Here's a guide to who the exhibitors were at Sebring this week.
We started with the ones the Expo listed and added the ones that we
personally saw and spoke with that weren't on the list. One
exhibitor at least (Titan) couldn't make the new dates.
We use the same categories as we did in our report on Day 2:
Reborn Legends, Young Turks, Legacy Kits, Trikes, Gyros, and
Powered Parachutes.
Here's The Gyros...
American Autogyro Inc. / Groen Brothers
The reason the AAI Sparrowhawk stands up on its legs, like that,
is in order to get the thrust line of the powerplant to run through
the vertical center of gravity -- making the machine more stable
and safer than high-thrustline gyros. There's little to no
pitch-coupling to power.
Rotary AirForce Marketing, Inc.
The popular Canadian gyroplane was ably represented here by
longtime Alabama/NW Florida based dealer, and gyro CFI, Dofin
Fritts. The RAF website is freshly overhauled and includes a
convenient configurator that lets you estimate the cost of an RAF
2000 with most popular options.
Well, that's it! If you were at the show, exhibiting, and
somehow we missed you, drop us a line (editor@aero-news.net) and we'll
update this listing, which we expect will be perennially
popular.
If you want to attend next year's US Sport Aviation Expo, it'll
be in January again, from the 11th to the 14th of January 2007, and
we'll see you there! (Note that the website hasn't been updated
yet. It will be in due course).
