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

Jeff LoParo, Barnstormers.com
Jeff LoParo talks with us about Barnstormers.com, one of the busiest web sites in aviation for those buying and selling aircraft. We'll learn about the history of Barnstormers.com, plans for the future, and maybe even a little bit about the Baroness herself. Barnstormers.com

Jeff Williams, Powrachute
Powrachute is just about finished getting their Rotax 912 powered parachute through the Special Light Sport Aircraft (S-LSA) process. We'll talk to Jeff about how far away the machine is from being completely through the process, how they are doing it, and how soon S-LSA their powered parachutes will be offered to the public. Powrachute

Ronnie Smith, South Mississippi Light Aircraft
With the end of the year here, we try to get as many engine questions answered by Ronnie Smith as we can.

Van Stumpner, Federal Aviation Administration
Van Stumpner joins us to tell us why powered parachutes and trikes don't need Emergency Locator Transponders (ELTs) and other mysteries of FAA regulations. He talks about the regulations that apply specifically to those wanting to transition their aircraft to Experimental Light Sport Aircraft (E-LSA) status. Light Sport Aircraft Information (12/12/06)

Dan Nachbar, Skyacht Aircraft, Inc.
We talk with Dan Nachbar about his new type of aircraft called the Personal Blimp. It's big difference is that it uses hot air instead of helium for lift. By using hot air, the personal blimp can be rapidly deflated and stored in smaller areas than the huge hangars used for helium blimps. Skyacht Aircraft, Inc. (12/12/06)

Erik Pederson, Phantom Aeronautics
Erik Pederson explains the manufacturers' process for creating a Special Light Sport Aircraft (S-LSA) airplane. We talk about the three big parts of the process; aircraft certification, production certification, and documentation required. We also talk about some of the changes made to the Phantom two-place to accommodate the LSA rules. Phantom Aeronautics (12/12/06)

Mike Stratman, California Power Systems, Inc.
Mike finishes up the conversation about intercom systems. We focus on RF interference from the engine ignition system and how to eliminate it. Also, we get some last minute Christmas ideas from Mike for those shopping for a pilot. Mike can also answer your four stroke and two stroke ultralight aircraft engine questions. Do you have questions? When the show is live, IM them in on Yahoo Instant Messenger to UFRadio. Roy@EasyFlight.com is the address you can use to E-mail those questions in.
