It’s fast... and getting faster, but the Velocity folks are now flying yet another version of the Twin Velocity....
This one with dual turboprop powerplants! It’s brand new and the bird is in development right now, but the initial results are promising. The late Frank Robinson’s little helicopter company has grown remarkably.... And has gone WAY past what he told us he originally envisioned for Robinson Helicopters. With a new R88 model just announced and new leadership, RHC has much to talk about. Panel space in our airplanes comes at a premium... especially the experimental and LSA generation... so diminutive avionics with exceptional capabilties are much in demand... and MicroAir seems ready to fill the need. The Flight Club program is off and running and with the added power of an exceptional insurance program to back it up, so-- getting a hold of cool airplane is more accessible than ever. Plane Tags has made a name for itself with hundreds of aircraft that have been turned into kitchy little collective mementos that have become enormously popular. Now, though, they may have the ultimate
collectible... a Plane tag featuring materials from an actual SR-71! A long time in development, Avidyne is close to the finish line with a new glass panel system that should drop in where previous Avidyne generations used to reside. The new vatage 12 should drop in where previous Avidyne generations used to reside... and really increase the versatility of today’s digital cockpits. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne-Unlimited!!!
