It was a perfect opening morning for SUN-N-FUN 2013. Enough clouds and a light breeze to keep the heat a bay. A walk from the Rotax booth at the front gate to Paradise City would be nice this morning.
We were greeted at the Rotax booth by a full contingent of iSC technicians from the USA, South and Central America’s. This is a must stop for any attendees with technical questions. These are the best they have. The technicians from the US included, Kevin Kane of California Power Systems, Brett Lawton from Leading Edge Air Foils and Dean Vogel of Lockwood Aviation. For kit builder’s looking for years (we won’t say how many, but …) of technical and installation experience, Ronnie Smith from South Mississippi Light Aircraft was on hand as well.
Sun-n-Fun draws a lot of interest from South of the border as well, particularly from Brazil and Latin America. Luis Gallo of LAG Ultralight and Renato Da Silva from Rotamotores were there to help answer questions in their native tongue.
A special note for anyone coming into the booth is that the new Rotax iS fuel injected engine is on hand and every specialist iRMT from the Service Centres has received training and can answer all your questions about the new technologies used.
