Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Re: Spam or what

From Ken-

Most people say they end up not folding the wings. It is harder than the KOLB people will tell you. The easiest option I have ever seen is the removable wing on the (expensive) RV-12. See the Youtube video.
Don't blame you for trying. My RANS S6-ES has folding wings, but I would quit flying eventually if I had to do that every flight.

Hi Jason,

I second what Helen had to say.

Also... don't forget your local (and even not so local) EAA chapters. They usually have newsletters and event calendars you can tap into.

Also... the Colorado Pilots' Association has a very comprehensive event calendar. You can contact them at http://coloradopilots.org/. They also have a newsletter.

Also... contact flying clubs. Ours (Skyraider Aviation - www.skyraideraviation.com) is always looking for someplace to fly. We were at the grand opening of PWAM's new hangar a few months back.

Best of luck!

- Chris

Re: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group How best to advertise an aviation related event.



My tactics:

1.  Hit all of the newsgroups and e-lists
2.  Send out lots of press releases including those to aviation pubs that need to go out many months in advance
3.  Hang flyers at all of the airports within 10nm.  You can enlist pilot volunteers at these airport to hang them and e-mail out a pdf.
4.  Run a Wing seminar at the event so the FAA will advertise for you.
5.  Give pilots a good reason to be there, including but not limited to, food.
