Gerry Charlebois, Birds In Paradise
Thousands of people have been introduced to triking by Gerry Charlebois. His training operation on the Hawaiian island of Kauai has allowed thousands to learn about the joy of personal flight in a great setting. Gerry's photography and videography has been seen by even more people with dozens of magazine covers and incredible footage. We talk to Gerry about how he got started and some of the projects he's involved in. Birds In Paradise

Bruce Charnov, Hofstra University
We visit with Bruce Charnov, who's working on the documentary being made about his history book on gyroplanes. Besides the update, he tells us about some great movie finds featuring gyroplanes that will be included in the work. Hofstra University

Tim McCord, Performance Designs
The first US built S-LSA powered parachute is using a Performance Designs parachute. One of the reasons is that Performance Designs has done the necessary testing and ASTM compliance documentation. Tim McCord tells us about the testing process and gives us an update on people in the Deland area that have been hit by the tornados in that part of Florida. Performance Designs

Ronnie Smith, South Mississippi Light Aircraft
A listener that visited the Sebring Light Sport Aircraft Expo, attended a forum where fuel for the Rotax 503 two-stroke engine was discussed. He came back with some questions for Ronnie Smith about fuel octanes, storage, and Penzoil fuel stabilizer. We hit Ronnie with all of those questions.
