EAA
READY TO ROLL, SEQUESTER OR NOT
The federal sequester will
certainly have an impact on EAA AirVenture, coming up in July in
Oshkosh, Wis., chairman Jack Pelton told
AVweb on Thursday in a podcast interview, but he's sure the
show will go on as usual. Pelton also said the search for a new
president to replace Rod Hightower is on hold at least until after
AirVenture. "There's no timeline," he said. "As a retired volunteer, I
can spend as much time as necessary to keep the organization going." The
extra tower staff for AirVenture is generally provided by volunteer
controllers, he said, so even if the contract operation is closed, he
expects the tower will run as usual. Pelton also said he's "a little bit
pessimistic" about getting the
EAA/AOPA Class III medical exemption request approved.

DIAMOND
INTRODUCES DA40 XLT
Diamond Aircraft is showing its latest
model, the DA40 XLT, with an all-new interior, at the Sun 'n Fun show in
Lakeland, Fla., this week. The upgrade is the first major overhaul to
the interior in over eight years, company spokesman Jeff Owen said in a
news conference Wednesday morning. The changes include deluxe leather
seats with improved lumbar contours and a special sun-resistant coating
that can produce substantial reductions in seat temperatures, plus sun
visors, more cup holders, and more storage spaces for phones and
tablets. "These things really do make a difference" in the comfort of
everyone on board, Owen said. More...

AIR
AND SPACE CHANNEL IN THE WORKS
If you find yourself missing
the old Wings channel, there may soon be a replacement. After several
years of work, television entrepreneur Phil Hurst told AVweb that
his latest project, Air and Space Television, grows ever nearer to going
on the air. "We're through the first phase, which is developing content
and making sure there's an audience out there and developing the entire
concept," Hurst said in an
AVweb interview. After that, said Hurst, A&S TV will actually
acquire the content, then acquire an underperforming network to launch
the new service. More...

IPAD

products—including knee board mounts, glare shield mounts and

MWFLY'S
UNIQUE EXPERIMENTAL ENGINES
An Italian company named MWFly
has come up with an intriguing way to handle the problem of torsional
loads on small geared engines. Rather than a clutch or a dog gear to
absorb the loads, MW's idea is to reduce the loads in the first place so
it has developed a variable compression ratio design that backs off
compression at idle and low speeds, but allows it to return to high
compression when more power is needed. More...
