Nearly 200 ultralight and light aviation enthusiasts participated in the day-long event, which qualifi ed attendees for FAA WINGS credit. During the event, EAA announced that it will bring back its popular Ultralight Day at Pioneer Airport, on Saturday, June 14, which will include the popular pilot profi ciency competitions. EAA Ultralight Chapters are invited to participate. Speakers for the day included Brett Lawton, talking about maintenance of Rotax two- and four-stroke engines; Tom Boyer, discussing aviation weather; Jim Ssajkovics, focusing on accident prevention; and Denny Demeter, high- lighting the importance of a profes- sional attitude about fl ying. Drawings for numerous door prizes were held throughout the day. EAA Hosts Wisconsin Ultralight Safety Seminar; Will Revive Ultralight Day at Pioneer Airport RESPONDING TO EAA member and reader requests, 10 pages of content will be added to Experimenter each month and specifi - cally focused on ultralight-type aircraft and technical insights. In addition, the current in-depth coverage of homebuilt aircraft and building tips will continue. "As the Experimenter digital version continues to grow and evolve, we've taken the input of EAA members as to what they would like to see and fi nd valuable," said Charlie Becker, EAA communities manager. "The expansion of the digital magazine is possible because of the positive feedback for Experimenter and its increasing popularity. Combined with EAA's current digital, print, and video of erings, grassroots aviation enthusiasts can fi nd what they need in resources specifi cally created for them." The July issue will be the fi rst to include this content. Experimenter Expands Ultralight Coverage E A A E X P _ M a y 1 4 . i n d d 8 EAAEXP_May14.indd 8 5 / 5 / 1 4 3 : 1 5 P M 5/5/14 3:15 PM
