Tom Poberezny, Earl Lawrence, Experimental Aircraft Association
We start the show with an opportunity to visit with Tom Poberezny, the President of the EAA. We also continue our conversation with Earl Lawrence about his travels to the Czech Republic, where the government has had a far different philosophy about experimental aviation from US traditions. Experimental Aircraft Association (10/27/09)

Kamron Blevins, North Wing Design
Kamron Blevins has recently added a Rotax 912 powered S-LSA weight shift control trike to North Wing's fleet. We talk with Kamron about some of the considerations that go into designing a more powerful trike. North Wing Design (10/27/09)

Jim Sweeney, SweeneyCorp
There are a number of reasons why a student might want or need to change flight instructors. People move, schedules don't mix, and sometimes there just isn't a good chemistry between instructor and student. With winter approaching, now is the time to begin assessing where you are in your pursuit of a rating and make plans for next year. SweeneyCorp (10/27/09)

Ronnie Smith, South Mississippi Light Aircraft
Last time we had Ronnie Smith on, we talked about many of the problems that ethanol introduces to our fuel system, but we didn't talk a lot about fuel tanks. This week we focus on exactly that. It may be a chore to change out fuel tanks, but that may be one of the few good choices you have. South Mississippi Light Aircraft (10/27/09)

Chris Dancy, Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association
The AOPA's annual convention is being billed as their first-ever Aviation Summit. We talk with Chris Dancy, who tells us what the focus is of the event is and why you want to be there. Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (10/27/09)

Dan Johnson, ByDanJohnson.com
With the January deadline fast approaching for the end of flight training under FAR §91.319, the focus is on what instructors will do to train students in ultralight-like aircraft. Dan Johnson points out that many of the new S-LSA's have the performance of the old ultralight trainers. We talk about that and the economics of flight instruction. ByDanJohnson.com (10/20/09)

Bob Mackey, Falcon Insurance Agency
Insurance is a big part of the aircraft ownership puzzle. Bob Mackey joins us to talk about options for those wanting or needing to insure their E-LSA's and S-LSA's. We talk about what kinds of aircraft are covered and how to get covered. Falcon Insurance Agency (10/20/09)

Jim Sweeney, SweeneyCorp
Fuel exhaustion is better known as running out of fuel. Of course that is something you don't want to be doing for both convenience and safety's sake. Flight planning is one of your biggest tools to prevent fuel exhaustion and Jim Sweeney talks about that and more. SweeneyCorp (10/20/09)

Mike Stratman, California Power Systems, Inc.
Mike Stratman just wrapped up a maintenance course for Rotax engines there in California. We talk about that and how to maintain and repair throttle cables. California Power Systems, Inc. (10/20/09)

Adam Smith, Experimental Aircraft Association
Not everyone realizes just how many publications, web sites, and other information services the EAA offers for members. Adam Smith talks about those and the evolution of how the EAA shares information with their membership. Experimental Aircraft Association (10/20/09)

Earl Lawrence, Experimental Aircraft Association
Earl Lawrence is back from the Czech Republic and has some stories about flying some amazing aircraft while there. We talk about those flights and some of the people he met. Experimental Aircraft Association (10/13/09)

Gene Smith, Valley Engineering, LLC (Culver Props)
The Backyard Flyer has been proving that there is a desire from pilots who want a good, inexpensive, true Part 103 airplane. Gene Smith talks with us about the plane and what seems to be attracting people to it. Valley Engineering, LLC (10/13/09)

Jim Sweeney, SweeneyCorp
Jim Sweeney joins us to talk about runway incursions at grass strips. With little airport signage and often a wider variety of aircraft models flying from local grass strips, it is especially important to keep your eyes peeled for other aircraft traffic. SweeneyCorp (10/13/09)

Greg Gremminger, Magni USA
Like all powered aircraft, a gyroplane has a set of control systems that control the engine power, the ground handling and flight. All of those systems need to be inspected and maintained and Greg Gremminger tells us what to look for. Magni USA (10/13/09)

Steve Bass, Copperstate Fly-In
With it getting cooler in the north, the flying events to look for are coming from the southern states. A large, fun event is the Copperstate Fly-In. Steve Bass is running the ultralight area there and joins us to talk about it. Copperstate Fly-In (10/13/09)

Dan Johnson, ByDanJohnson.com
Dan Johnson joins us to talk about the Midwest LSA Expo, which just wrapped up this weekend. The Expos are one of the best measures of Sport Aviation interest in a region and we talk about the impressions this one left. ByDanJohnson.com (10/6/09)

Larry Mednick, Evolution Trikes
Trike pilots in the US are used to having to go off-shore to get a high-end weight shift control aircraft. That is no longer the case with the Revo being produced in Florida for those pilots who demand high quality and power from their trikes. Larry Mednick tells us about it. Evolution Trikes (10/6/09)

Jim Sweeney, SweeneyCorp
A couple of weeks ago Jim Sweeney told us about the documentation you had to maintain and in some cases keep with your aircraft when flying. This week we talk about the personal documents you need as a pilot. The requirements are different for Sport Pilots and Private Pilots and some of those requirements may change in the near future. SweeneyCorp (10/6/09)

Brian Carpenter, Rainbow Aviation Services
Brian Carpenter continues to regularly field questions about cold seizures in two-stroke engines. Just because you warm up your engine properly before you fly doesn't mean that you are immune to a cold seizure, even though proper warm-ups are important. We describe cold seizures and tell you how to prevent them. Rainbow Aviation Services (10/6/09)

Tim Adelman, Chesapeake Sport Pilot
Many old-school instructors and flight schools continue to ignore the presence of the Sport Pilot rating, instead trying to push students towards a recreational or private rating. However, potential pilots are becoming more educated and are seeking out the rating they want. Chesapeake Sport Pilot is doing a great business by providing what those students want. Time Adelman tells us about it. Chesapeake Sport Pilot (10/6/09)
