At the successful Georgia Sport Light Expo in Calhoun (north of Atlanta), Ferguson Aircraft showed their new tricycle gear FX-4-1. The two Ferguson aircraft resemble some Kolb models, but with a nosewheel they certainly set themselves apart. This Amateur-Built 51% kit is known for techniques like their strong “X” control surface hinges. Prices start at only $8,475 for the airframe kit. Sport Light Expo also featured appearances by the Zenith CH-601, SportAir USA StingSport, Belle Aire Festival, RANS S-6 by local rep’ SportAir Inc., Sportsplanes Breezer, Jabiru J-250, Just Aircraft Escapade, a one-off tricycle-gear Hummelbird and more. Calhoun is also home to the Paris Jet which made several performances. (I took a flight in the latter…Hoo-Yah!)
