Dave's end of the hangar

Well it’s another fine summer here at the LoPresti hangar in Vero Beach.  We have lots of new projects in work and that always makes for a fast fun work week.  We have so much stuff that I can’t talk about but some things I can tell you.

 Did you see the cool wheel pants we had for the non-certified market at our booth in Sun-N-Fun?  These pants will gain over 6 mph on an RV and we plan to start taking orders at the Arlington flyin in July.  Don’t worry if you aren’t going to Arlington, Washington.  We will also be at Airventure too.

 

We have been steadily tweaking our wheelpants mod for the Piper series and these pants are just gorgeous.  Easier access to the brake caliper and to the airvalve PLUS much improved materials will make this “the kit to own” for all Piper Cherokee and Saratoga fixed gear owners. 

 In our engineering lab we have a pile of cool electronics that are being fine tuned.  Some are so exciting that I cannot wait to share them with you BUT mom told me I can’t tell you just yet.  Soon, but not just yet. 

 With summer upon us I just know you are cleaning a lot of bugs off your airplane.  You really need SpeedCoat.  Bugs just can’t stick.  Ask your local FBO if they are carrying it.  This is our hottest product selling through our network of FBO Partners.  Follow the link below for more information. 

 I thought I would give you a little update about my family.  Mom is doing great.  Everyone asks about her and yes she is still “the Supreme Commander”.  She still at every staff meeting and is both sweet and ornery as ever.  I have one kid in Baghdad as a paramedic so if you are in the green zone say hi to Becky for me.

 

The next oldest kid is now working for Duncan Aviation in Houston. What a first class operation.  Matt has died and gone to mechanic heaven.

 The youngest kid is Mike and he is on summer vacation here in Vero Beach and I think I have convinced him to stay until we move to Sebastian in January.  Mike is a film maker and will be working on our DVD library for the LoPrestiFury and a new series of DVDs that I will tell you about later in the year.

New BoomBeam STCs

Bell 206

The BoomBeam solves a great problem for failed landing and taxi lights for the Bell 206.  Vibration does not effect the BoomBeam eliminating lighting failure on these mission critical aircraft.  PLUS pilots report that the beam from our BoomBeam not only penetrates farther allowing better long range vision but the quality of the design nearly eliminates "bounce back" from the light during taxi and hover.  This is yet another great bonus for the BoomBeam product line. .  

Below is video of our test flight

 

Go Green With SpeedMods

SpeedMods not only give you more speed they make your plane more efficient. More efficient you can make your airplane the more Green you make your plane. 

This month lets talk about WheelPants for Pipers.  Do you have a Piper with worn out wheelpants.  Do you need to upgrade or repair?  The LoPresti Speed Spats for fixed gear Pipers are the newest and best kit to the market.

Our owners have reported more than 14 mph increase in speed with this mod. 
So how much gas would you save with a constant 15 mph tail wind?

  • More Speed
  • Easier access
  • Removable nosecone
  • Sexy appearance

Need a set?  Call Jim Shafer at 800-859-4757

What is LoPresti working on now?

 

Sebastian - Our Future Home

Did you know that we are expanding our operations into Sebastian and that is were our new headquarters will be?  The Sebastian Airport is one of the prettiest airports in the state and people there are helpful and friendly.  Flying into Sebastian is like coming home and it will be our new home in January.

If you are coming to First Saturday make sure you make time to learn about Sebastian.  Fishing, golfing, kayaking, and boating are great at Sebastian.  We are always at the airport working and I never took the time to find out but one day I had an epiphany.....

I live in Florida. 

People come from around the world to have  fun here.  So I decided to give this "fun stuff" a try.  Kayaking the Sebastian river is WAY COOL.  Next up is boating and fishing and maybe some vacation time .

Hey maybe there IS life away from the airport!!!   Sebastian info
