It was a hectic summer for us. But, as a favorite line from a Clint Eastwood movie goes (slightly paraphrased), “We shall endeavor to persevere!” Our flying season here has ended, which will hopefully help us get back on track! When we combine issues, we do extend your expiration date, and as always, we both thank you all very much for your continued patience with us! We have some informative press releases for you in this issue. One of them in particular is quite… interesting. Thoughtprovoking, at any rate. Another explains part of why our summer was so hectic–one of the things we did was help five people earn their Sport Pilot rating in Powered Parachutes! Dan Johnson has some interesting articles, including one on ultralight tourism in – of all places – North Korea. Not really a country that springs to my mind when I think of places to enjoy ultralight flight, I have to admit. From Paul Fiebich, we have an article detailing how to make a temporary repair to your Cylinder Head Temperature Sending Ring. Lots of pictures to help explain! In this issue, we have reviews of two different aircraft now on the market. From Trevor Sayer, we have a review of the Aeros Ultralight Trike and its wings. From Ira McComic, we have a review of the new American Ranger AR-1 gyroplane. Roy has written an article for us on mechanical turbulence. He describes the various kinds for you, and he’s created some rather detailed graphics to help illustrate what he’s saying. Jeff Hamann has written our Incidents column for this issue. In it, he describes an accident that he witnessed a couple of years ago while flying, and reminds us of some things to remember to stay safe. Every year, Jim Smith attends the Salton Sea Gathering and gives us a report, and this year is no different. Jim really gets some great pictures, and it was hard to narrow them down! In fact, Jim's photography can also be found on the front cover, the back cover, and leading off the Paraflight Section. That is probably a record! Finally, we have Roy’s column to close out the issue. He attended a nasa forum during AirVenture 2016, and learned some curious things, which he tells us about. Hopefully you all had a great summer and will have a nice holiday season, which seems to have come upon us awfully fast! Editorial
