Multi-Format E-Book Will Be Released Shortly After Sebring Sport Aviation Expo
While the Aero-News and Kindred Spirit Press crews are working diligently on both the upcoming 3rd Edition of the SportPlane Resource Guide and the all-new AeroSports Guide books, we are well aware of the need for some introductory information to provide guidance RIGHT NOW to those looking at the many offerings available to the LSA and SportPlane enthusiast.
The SportPlane Resource Guide, a book that energized the Sport Aviation community and reportedly was involved in the decision-making process that aided thousands of people in flying and buying/building their own personal flying machines, is being aggressively researched for the upcoming next edition… which will be made available in digital formats so that the information can be more readily updated and accessed by flyers all over the world.
With that in mind, ANN CEO Jim Campbell has ALSO started work on a SportPlane Mini-Guide that will be offered FREE to the SportPlane community shortly after the conclusion of this year’s Sebring Sport Aviation Expo. Highly detailed and heavily illustrated, the SPRG Mini-Guide will provide solid basic info about the why’s and wherefores of the LSA industry, as well as a rudimentary overview of the operational spectrum accorded today’s sport pilots.
Provided as an E-Book and available in either Kindle, EPUB or PDF formats, The SportPlane Mini-Guide will contain a dozen chapters and sections detailing introductory info about the SportPlane/LSA World, including topics like ‘How to Choose a SportPlane’, Questions YOU need to ask the Manufacturers and others, a ‘Know Before You Buy’ lesson containing some expert S-LSA Airplane Buyer's Advice, as well as our highly anticipated annual Flyer’s Dozen list of the Best LSA/SportPlanes Of 2014, a list of important resources and much more.
While the guide covers the first of many topics that will be covered in the massive 2000 page 3rd edition of the SportPlane Resource Guide, Campbell worries that there is a dearth of objective and critical information available to those considering the purchase of a SportPlane or becoming a Sport Pilot, and wanted to get some expert, solid, basic data out right away as he and his crew work away on the massive SPRG, itself.
Aero-News, Aero-TV, Airborne and KSP staffers will be attending Sebring this year with a critical eye toward checking out the latest offerings, trends and technologies available to potential SportPlane flyers. We welcome suggestions from the industry about potential topics and issues that should be considered for inclusion in either the MINI-Guide or the 3rd Edition SportPlane resource Guide.
For those wishing to get a copy of the Mini-Guide, a simple email to SPRG-MINI@aero-news.net, and a simple selection of either the EPUB, Kindle of Adobe Acrobat (PDF) Version, will get you a reservation for the guide as soon as it is released in the coming weeks. Other trusted partners and outlets will distribute the Mini-Guide, as well.
