Has anyone in the US been following the new MOSIAC (Modernization of Special Airworthiness Certification) NPRM (Notice of Proposed Rule Making) that was issued this month (July 2023)? I really changes what can be categorized as Light Sport. I wonder if the TSi could be made to qualify. The proposed ...

I just came back from Sun and Fun where Rotax announced the 916. I talked to a couple of the Rotax guys about it. I was told the main difference was in the internals with a beefed up crank and case. This is what allowed the TBO to increase to 2000 hours. The increased Horsepower was due to some mino...

Stingy Pilot -

I wanted to discuss the Dynon Advanced panel you were considering. Which comms? How many panels? I assume you are going with the ACM? Do you have a quote? Are you getting the Auto pilot panel? Which Auto Pilot Servos? Are you getting ADS-B in?

The Mini Max Ariel Daylite seems to be the most popular Beacon to mount above the rudder. First question is are there other ones used (In the US)? I have ordered one from Kestrel Air, they seemed to have the best price I could find. Other questions are, did anyone find a better price some where else...

Is anyone planning to install Dynon or their sister company Advance Flight Systems Avionics in their Sling? I asked at the Aircraft Factory in Torrance, and it was a short conversation, they only install Garmin. I am very interested in ordering a Advanced Flight Systems with the Advanced Control Mod...
