Bill Eggbeer, Trike Pilot
Bill Eggbeer became one of the first Weight Shift Control Sport Pilots last year. He started out by working in the Glider Trike program and transitioned to the Sport Pilot program. We talk about his experience in getting a license to fly trikes.
Mike Stratman, California Power Systems
Mike Stratman takes on an always interesting subject, two stroke lubrication. We've gotten quite a bit of E-mail recently about two stroke oils and Mike fields the questions. Mike can also answer your four stroke and two stroke ultralight aircraft engine questions. Do you have questions?

Earl Lawrence, EAA Vice-President of Government and Industry Relations
It is spring and legislatures across the land are once again trying to mandate that all gasoline sold in their states contain Ethanol. We talk about two specific proposals, one in Washington State and the other in Missouri. These proposals put a burden not just on ultralight and experimental aircraft owners, but also on owners of vintage cars, motorboats, and other recreational vehicles. We talk about what pilots in the effected states can do. Experimental Aircraft Association
Mike Engel, Wisconsin Powered Parachute Association
Mike Engel talks about the Wisconsin Powered Parachute Safety Seminar. This is an educational clinic that includes speakers and demonstrations related to the sport. The clinic, which is free and open to the public, is held at the EAA AirVenture Museum. This is an event that is unique to the world of powered parachuting. Wisconsin Powered Parachute Association.

Eldon Corry, LetsFly
One of common complaints about aviation is the cost of buying and operating a new aircraft. With even Light Sport Aircraft becoming expensive, many people are fearing that their dreams of flight are going to be only dreams. Not to fear. Eldon Corry will join us to talk about how "cooperative ownership" is helping people join together to own and fly the airplanes they want. LetsFly (3/7/06)

The ever-busy Paul Hamilton has just put the finishing touches on a DVD that takes you through the practical tests for sport pilot airplane, trike, and powered parachute. He talks about when this DVD will be available and what it will do for you. This is another scoop by UltraFlight Radio. Adventure Productions (3/7/06)
