VAN'S
TO BUILD 'FLY-AWAY' RV-12s

manufacturer of kit planes is tentatively entering the OEM market with
an initial run of 12 deluxe copies of its RV-12 LSA. In a podcast

company was thinking about when it launched the RV-12. The first run
will not be built at the company's Aurora factory. They will be built by
kit completion specialists Synergy Air. Orders will be taken in November
and first deliveries are expected in the new year, VanGrunsven said.

WINGLETS
FOR ALL?
An Idaho company says it has come up with a way to
allow virtually any aircraft to benefit from winglets without affecting
the certified load limits of its wings. Tamarack
Aerospace President Nick Guida said the patented "active winglets"
the company has developed will allow the installation of winglets on
hundreds of aircraft types whose wings were not engineered to handle
them. The key is turning the effect of the winglets on and off when
necessary to mitigate the potential for winglets to overstress wings.
