Sport Copter Vortex M912

The Vortex was developed from the lighter base model Lightning, and the original Vortex standard engine is a Rotax 582. The Vortex comes with more options than any other design. Full flight instrumentation is available. You can fly this single-place gyro out in the open, or with a partially enclosed body.   The Vortex is equipped with a composite seat which encapsulates the pilot with full support all the way to the top of the helmet, and cushioned with an energy absorbent ejection-sea

Flightworks Capella XS

The taildragger has a straight tail, and the trike offers a swept vertical tail. Flightworks also offered either the two-stroke, 65- hp Rotax 582 or the thrusty 80-hp Rotax 912. The all-metal wing is strut braced (with airfoiled struts) and offers a set of multiple position flaps as well as generously proportioned ailerons. Seating is side-by-side and reasonably comfy, despite a 39-inch width that seems a little tight at first glance.   Big doors make access to the cockpit a fairly unr

Interstate Cadet

An Interstate Cadet, flown by aviator Cornelia Fort and an unknown student, was one of the first aircraft (if not the first) to be attacked by IJNAS Japanese naval planes en route to the Pearl Harbor attack on December 7, 1941. It is also the aircraft featured in the airshow routine by Kent Pietch as depicted in the photo above, taken at Avalon in 2011.   The original version, the S1 prototype, was powered by the 50 hp Continental A50 engine, but was soon upgraded to the Continental A6

Antoinette V16

Antoinette began as a private venture led by the engineer Léon Levavasseur. By 1904, most of the prize-winning speedboats in Europe were powered with Antoinette engines. During this time, he designed engines of various configurations of up to thirty-two cylinders. The company's primary business was the sale of engines to aircraft builders. Their engines were used in the Santos-Dumont 14-bis of 1906, Paul Cornu's rudimentary helicopter of 1907, the Voisin biplane that was modified and pilote

Instructors

This group is for Instructors to be able to get together and discuss in private any issues they experience when training new pilots, teaching methods, instruction resources and overall help each other in the area of pilot instruction. By discussing things together away from the general forums and only between instructors, it is hoped that we can all become better at helping pilots to fly safely and with the best skills possible.
