Gemini Sparkle

Key Takeaways:

  • The Heart of Texas LSA Expo, a new fly-in event, successfully hosted top Light Sport Aircraft (LSA) manufacturers in its inaugural year.
  • Organizers provided excellent care for vendors, and despite initial strong winds, demo flights were busy on the second day.
  • Manufacturers found the event's location between Dallas and Houston strategic, recognizing Texas as a large market, and expressed plans to return next year.

Chris Regis of Paradise Acft. did me a favor in absentia by filing a quick report from the field about the Heart of Texas LSA Expo fly-in he and other manufacturers recently attended. *** “The folks organizing really took great care of all vendors;it was a small event since it’s their first year but all the top manufacturers were there:Paradise, CT, Jabiru, Sting, Rans, Lambada, Sport Star, etc… *** During the first day, the wind was very strong and no one did demos but Sunday everyone was busy. *** The location is very good, between Dallas and Houston and I am glad that Karl and the rest of the folks decided to do this event. Jim, Texas is a huge market so we will definitely be there next year. *** They even put together a nice Texas style BBQ for all of us, it was delicious!” *** Also thanks to Chris for the photos. *** We’ll keep an eye on this new LSA venue and hope to cover a larger show next year.
