RE: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Flight Design CTLS Free-stick Stability

This is probably a fault of my McAfee anti spam, reason it has a link
attached to it. This program appears to put the label into the Subject line.
Unfortunately I forwarded it without seeing that. The actual message seems
to be OK, with exception of the hyperlink to home page.

Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Flight Design CTLS Free-stick Stability

Hello Group,

I am checking out possible S-LSAs for future purchase. The Flight Design CTLS interests me. If there are any instructors, owners, or renters of said model or other Flight Design models in the group, I'd like to hear from you.

I've not flown one yet, but am hooking up with some owners to do so. In the meantime, maybe some of you who fly them can answer my concerns about stability. I've heard from some high-time pilots who fly them that hands-off stability is marginal (as compared,to,say, a Bonanza).

Questions:
1) Phugoid: How long and how many cycles?
2) Free stick stability: In calm air how long can you fly without a stick or rudder input?
3) Free stick stability: In calm air can you maintain straight flight with occasional mild rudder inputs?
4) How is the ride in light to moderate turbulence? (re wing loading 12 lbs/sq ft)

Fly safely.

If flying in, it has got to be one of the official port of entry airports. Must land and stay within secure area until they scan your behind and the entire airplane.

Coming in on a trailer might be easier (for a trike anyway).

If anyone can answer your question it might be Kathy Lubitz president of the UPAC (Ultralight Pilots Assn of Canada). 519-684-7628

http://www.upac.ca/

I believe it is (or was possible) to fly sport pilot in Canada provided you have a 3rd class medical and pay a fairly steep fee for a short term permit, and apply well in advance. But ask Kathy.

Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Improvements and additions to the Pueblo Weisbrod Aircraft Museum for aviation,space,and history enthusiasts.

A few weeks ago I asked for some input on music for a video about the aircraft and missiles on display at the Pueblo Weisbrod Aircraft Museum. Here is the finished product: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYXfW5T4oc8  .

The video shows all the aircraft and missile systems we have at the museum on display as they were in active service and as they are today on display. Improvements are being made daily to the aircraft and displays.

The music is from www.musopen.org  .

 Here is another video from our Aerospace Education program of rocket flights for Pueblo School District 60 in Pueblo, Colorado  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YN8z44q2yY0&NR=1

 I know some people recommended music from the movie "Top Gun" but the copyright regulations and fees were a hassle so I went with an open source Wagner Opera "epic". Music for the aircraft museum video is provided by the United States Marine Corps Band.

Meanwhile, we are developing and expanding our space exhibit at the Pueblo Weisbrod Aircraft Museum. We have just added a display for the 42nd anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing. An article about the new exhibit and one of the helicopters that participated in the recovery of Alan Sheppard's Freedom 7 Mercury sub orbital launch can be found at: http://www.chieftain.com/news/local/pueblo-adds-space-program-copter/article_65a2cc38-af6b-11e0-a0e4-001cc4c002e0.html

The Pueblo Weisbrod Aircraft Museum is located on the grounds of the Pueblo Memorial Airport (PUB). Go to our website at www.pwam.org for details on the museum.  Members of the museum look forward to working with aviation and space enthusiasts as well as veterans groups and historical reenactors.

I hope you like it. If you are ever in Colorado, make it a plan to come to Pueblo and pay us a visit.

Feel free to include this information in your club or organization's websites, newsletters, etc.

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

Jason,
The first thing to do is to identify your target audience. Is it the general public? Is it family groups? Is it aspiring pilots? Is it t to attract benefaIs it a combination?
Think about that audience and where they will be most easily contacted. PR and advertising is about communication. Figure out who you want to communicate with, what you want to say to them. Also listen to what potential attendees want to shape your event to fit the customers needs and desires.
Pr is an ongoing process. If your event repeats yearly you should be laying the groundwork for next years event right now. Think of angles for local TV, Radio and Print media of all kinds. Generate print, photo and video information to tell your story to media and sell it to them.

Don't forget local signage preceding the event and on the days of the event. Lead people in from all directions. Consider billboards.
Look for tie ins with local celebrities and other events. Look for named sponsors who can get involved and share the publicity. Think of ways to make it a bigger and more regional event. Look for ways to bring in big name performers, commercial entities etc.

Perhaps the first thing to examine is the reason or reasons for having the event in the first place. Is it a celebration for the organization, a "show what we are" for the public, a recruitment drive, a donor search, a treasury filler or a combination?

In addition to the old guard media, consider using the social media before and even during the event. Facebook, twitter etc. should be a part of your effort as well as posters and fliers, signs etc., even aerial signs, searchlights and fireworks.
Just some ideas.......
