Midwest LSA Expo announced its collaboration with Plane & Pilot as the promotional partner for the sport-aviation expo. "We are completely supportive of the light-sport aircraft industry, and expect to see it flourish in the next few years," stated Mike McMann, publisher of Plane & Pilot. "In fact, I learned to fly in a Cessna 120 during the early '60s, so being involved with today's light-sport aircraft is a way of returning to grassroots flying for me. We're truly excited about promoting this kind of general aviation experience." The Midwest LSA Expo is in Southern Illinois, within an eight-hour drive of 50% of the country's population. The event is the perfect place to compare and fly aircraft being considered for purchase. The Expo offers a glimpse into what the sport aviation lifestyle is all about---using a light aircraft to explore a new destination, camping, enjoying camaraderie of aviators and more.

The new FAA-approved Cowl Saver baffle seals, from McFarlane Aviation Products for Cessna 172R and 172S aircraft, address issues raised in Cessna Service Bulletin 08-53-01 with regard to cowl and firewall cracking due to vibration transfer. The low-friction laminated seals have 30 times less friction than standard seals, which allows the engine to move without taking the cowl with it, reducing cowl and airframe-vibration transfer that causes cowl damage. The baffle seals are precut and available individually, or in kits that include all required baffle seals, soft rivets and retainer strips. Contact: www.mcfarlaneaviation.com/cowlsaver.

The tales originate from a small airport diner called the Sky Kitchen Café in San Carlos, Calif., where local pilots congregate daily to exchange friendship and conversation.
