UltraFlight Radio can now be found live on Tuesday mornings right here on the web at www.ultraflightradio.com at 10:00am Eastern Standard Time and 7:00am Pacific Time. But you don't have to hear it live to hear it.
You can also hear (previous shows) at the show archive. We make it convenient for you.
To be a part of the show and you are in the U.S., you can call toll-free: 1-866-613-1612. If you are somewhere that the toll-free number does not work, you can reach us at 1-858-268-3068. Another (often better) way to get questions to us is by E-mail. You can write Roy at roy@easyflight.com
Van Stumpner, Federal Aviation Administration
There is a lot of confusion about Experimental Light Sport Aircraft certificates. Van Stumpner joins us from the Light Sport Aviation Branch to talk about the three options in FAR §21.191 under which someone can get an E-LSA certificate for their aircraft and how those options compare with each other. We also get an update on the latest DAR graduating class. Light Sport Aviation Branch

Dale and Jeff tell us all about it. United States Ultralight Association United States Powered Paragliding Association
Bever Borne, Air-Tech, Inc.
Last time Bever Borne was with us we were going to talk all about cables. We ended up spending nearly all of the time just talking about throttle cables and how to maintain them. Bever gives us an update on that and then this week we talk about the structural cables. We cover how cables are built, how they are sized for replacement, the components in a cable, and how to inspect cables. Bever can also answer your four stroke and two stroke ultralight aircraft engine questions. Do you have questions? When the show is live, call your questions in at (888) 514-2100 or you can IM them in on AOL or Yahoo Instant Messenger to UFRadio. Air-Tech, Inc
Dan Johnson, ByDanJohnson.com
Dan talks about the recent announcement from Rotax that their two-stroke 582 Engine has met ASTM standards. He talks about how this can impact the affordability of light sport aircraft. Dan also has news about the upcoming LSA mall to be part of the Northwest Regional Fly-In and more. ByDanJohnson.com
Barbara Tolbert, Northwest EAA Fly-In
Barbara Tolbert joins us to tell us what else is new this year at the Northwest Regional Fly-In in Arlington, Washington. Already one of the top events in the country, they are offering plenty more to see and do this year. Northwest EAA Fly-In
Remember, if you have any questions you want to ask the guests or you have any of your own comments about a topic, please call the show toll free when we're live at (888) 514-2100. If you have a show idea or know someone that would be a guest on the show (that could be you!) Contact Roy.
Hope you get a chance to listen in!
