Dan Johnson talks about the changing attitudes of the aviation world that occurred over the last week. ByDanJohnson.com (7/31/07)

Bever Borne, Air-Tech, Inc.
The Sport Pilot rules were thought to initiate a return to Part 103 Ultralights. And while manufacturers that sell ultralight airplanes have seen some increase in interest, it doesn't seem that there have been very many (if any) new ultralight airplane designs introduced. Bever Borne talks about what some of the reasons may be. Air-Tech, Inc. (7/31/07)

Jim Sweeney, SweeneyCorp
One of the big stories to come out of Oshkosh was the new ASTM specification that calls out a minimum empty weight for airplanes. With the maximum gross weight of a Light Sport Aircraft defined in the regulations as 1,320 lbs, the minimum empty weight is designed to leave a reasonable useful load for LSA airplanes. SweeneyCorp (7/31/07)

Ronnie Smith, South Mississippi Light Aircraft
Which two-stroke oil to use is something of a religion with users of two stroke engines. One man's wonder oil is another man's "break-in" oil. Ronnie Smith talks about the differences in two stroke oils and compares that to the benefits of oil injection vs. not using oil injection. South Mississippi Light Aircraft (7/17/07)

Mike Stratman, California Power Systems, Inc.
Mike Stratman talks about preflighting the Rotax 912 engine. A lot of people are lost when looking at the complexity of the engine while others just jump in their plane and fly with little to no preflight because of their faith in the engine. Mike talks about the middle ground. Pilots can have faith in the engine, but regular inspections are a must. California Power Systems, Inc. (7/10/07)

Dick Knapinski, EAA AirVenture
EAA AirVenture is coming up fast and Dick Knapinski joins us to talk about the world's largest fly-in.
