Airborne Affordable Flyers 12.27.24: RV15 Update, ICON Abandons USA, Dynon Vids

Also: Rotax SB, New Medical Certification, Mesnard Velocity, TTN Aviation Program

Face it, it was an unkind year for Van’s Aircraft, but they ARE recovering... swiftly. 

Among the latest news, is a report on changes to the RV-15 prototype: The stabilator has been replaced with a conventional tail on a longer tailcone, which has proven to provide more intuitive handling for pilots of varying skill levels... No surprise here, as the inevitable takeover of Icon becomes an International Game. ICON Aircraft will be moving “a portion” (with likely more to come) of its manufacturing to a new state-of-the-art facility in China but will (for now...) maintain its headquarters in Vacaville, California. Dynon Avionics recently introduced its new training Academy to pair with its SkyView HDX interface. The panel is its flagship design and is geared toward modern light sport and experimental aircraft. The series gives step-by-step guidance, covering both fundamental operations and advanced features of the system. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne!!!
