Interviews with Roy Beisswenger

Roy Beisswenger, Greenville Pilots Association
Roy talks about the AIRstravaganza fly-in event at the Greenville Airport in Greenville, Illinois. This is a great event that has everything from parachutes (powered and non-powered) all the way through warbird rides. The neat thing about this event is that the goal is to get spectators to stop spectating for a few minutes and get into the aircraft for a flight. AIRstravaganza (9/26/06)

UltraFlight Radio is 3 Years Old
We start the show with a review of the past three years and talk a little about the growth and future of UltraFlight Radio. Many thanks to our listeners. The UltraFlight Radio web site had 916,917 hits in just March of 2005 and well over 3 million hits so far this year. (4/26/05)

Roy Beisswenger, Powrachute Extravaganza
Roy talks about the sites, sounds, and happenings at the 2004 Powrachute Extravaganza. Special mention at the end regarding this year's record flight. www.powrachute.com (9/21/04)

Roy Beisswenger, World Powered Parachute Championship
The WPPC is coming up this weekend and last minute preparations for the event are underway. Roy talks about some of the last minute news and about some of the things you can expect this coming weekend. www.chute-out.com (8/17/04)

Roy Beisswenger, Impressions of Oshkosh
AirVenture had a different feel this year. With the publishing of the Sport Pilot initiative, the sport aviation industry now has a direction. Manufacturers saw sales because consumers felt more confident that they could fly the aircraft under the new rule. (8/10/04)

Roy Beisswenger & Michael Purdy
With Sport Pilot on the horizon, the FAA seems to be taking a stronger interest in ultralight incidents and violations. If you aren't flying legally, you may want to get legal. (7/6/04)

Roy Beisswenger and Michael Purdy
The hosts talk about how the better examples of pilots in the world of aviation like everything that flies and contrast that with people that attack or belittle other styles of flying. (6/15/04)

Roy Beisswenger and Michael Purdy
The hosts talk about how the new Sport Pilot rule has moved into back to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). The discussion turns to the use of the organizational training exemptions to Part 103. (6/8/04)

Roy Beisswenger and Michael Purdy
The hosts talk about some recent losses to the aviation community. Robert E. Fulton, the inventor of the Flying Car, Jerry Rooks, a friend to aviators in Florida, and Diane Ahlman, wife of USUA founder and past president John Ballantyne. They will all be greatly missed. (5/18/04)

Roy Beisswenger and Michael Purdy
The hosts talk about the advantages of electronic guages over convention needle guages. Conventional gauges can leave you unprotected with low accuracy, hard to read scales, and short service life. An electronic instrument provides outstanding accuracy, a large, backlit, high-contrast screen along with the capability to program individual engine limits for automatic monitoring. www.grtavionics.com (5/11/04)

Roy Beisswenger and Michael Purdy
Sun 'n Fun 2004 is finished up this week. Get a report on the things that went on at Paradise City, the Ultralight Forums, Sport Pilot and the rest of the fly-in. (4/20/04)

Roy Beisswenger, Sun 'n Fun Ultralight Forums
Roy and Michael spend some time talking about the forum series at Paradise City. This year's lineup of speakers is outstanding and just another great reason to make the trip to Lakeland. ultraflightradio.com/sunfunspeaker.html (4/6/04)

Roy Beisswenger, UltraFlight Radio
America's contemporary tort system has come under increasing criticism for being far too costly and incapable of administering fair and prompt awards. This hurts the ultralight aviation industry because it prevents many businesses from getting involved in the sport. It partially explains why it is difficult to get ultralight instruction in the United States. www.house.gov (12/2/03)

Roy Beisswenger, World Powered Parachute Championship
Updates on the upcoming gathering of powered parachutes in Greenville, IL. www.chute-out.com (7/29/03)
