OSHKOSH AIRVENTURE 2017!
Azalea Aviation was at Oshkosh this year but as visitors only as we had friends with us. Larry and his wife Cheryl flew their Saberwing alongside ours all the way up from Georgia. We parked in front of the Homebuilt Headquarters all week and spoke with lots of people, got sunburned and enjoyed an awesome show. Larry got to fly his Saberwing in front of everybody during the Homebuilt Review. He was all smiles!
Prototype Saberwing tied down at Oshkosh with people already checking it out. It looks to be a good and busy week.
NEW SABERWING NEWS !!!
N203SW at Oshkosh looks great Larry! Well Done!
Larry purchased his Saberwing kit #003 from us a year and a half ago and has been very busy building on it. The fact that he lives only 15 miles away from our airport allowed us to fine tune many of our products and information to help out existing and new builders. Larry kept a very detailed builder's log that details out his journey very well. Many of his photos are being used in manual updates. His 750 hour commitment has proven itself. This was his total build time to date. We initially estimated the build time of the kit (minus the 5 "P"s - prop, panel, paint, powerplant and 'polstery) at 500-1000 hours. It seems we were very reasonable with the time calculations. Of course some people may spend much more time but it can be done in a year.
The Prototype N120SW and Larry's N203SW have now flown to Oshkosh this year. Now that we are back we know there are many interested in talking to Larry about his experience in building and flying the Saberwing. If you wish you can call us and get contact information to be able to talk to Larry one-on-one please let us know.

Building a 120 IFB for a Cruizer!
Late last year, John, spent his time with us working on his 120 HP Spyder Engine conversion for his Zenith 750 Cruzer. One of our services is "one-on-one" time with builders to teach them how to build an engine. John delivered his nearly completed airframe to our facility to complete the build. We will assist him with the Firewall Forward installation, paint, avionics, and test flying. We are becoming a "One Stop Shop" for people who need this kind of help. If we can help you in this way please contact us for more information.

Turbocharging the Saberwing...
We started working on a turbocharger package for our Spyder Engine Conversions a few months ago and have completed about 50 hours of flight testing to date. We have seen a significant improvement in the climb and cruise performance of the Saberwing. Full details will be coming shortly. Check out the videos on our facebook page for some fun turbo stuff... Here is a sample video...https://youtu.be/I8Zmi0UFS6k

The Manufacturing Facility at Cook County Airport
(click on Pic for Panoramic view)
If you are ever able to drive or fly into Cook County Airport GA (15J) you will be able to visit our manufacturing facility we are working on there. A 10,000 square foot building with offices and restrooms, it is ideal for setting up our new composite manufacturing, machine shop, wood shop, avionics, upholstery and more. Click on the picture above for a panoramic view. We are still a couple months away from having it fully operational but it will provide ample room for builders' aircraft as well as room for one of our customer's Tubine Malibu we maintain. In the picture you can see our LSA build, John's Zenith 750, the Saberwing, another Zenith 750 and more. When completed the interior rooms will have two floors and will serve as a builder's assist center. Still much to do!

The BASICS of SIMPLICITY
How? Find new ways to use old ideas that are proven. Learn from those who have gone before and bring to market products that are easy to use, cost effective and reliable.
Why? If you don't have it, it won't break!" Simplicity allows for less parts count, better reliability and lower cost for purchasing and maintenance. This becomes apparent as you learn about our product line.
What? Our Products are currently focused on our SPYDER series of engines that will be continually upgraded. We service and provide parts for these engines. For installation purposes we have developed Firewall Forward Kits and components for some common aircraft kits currently on the market. We provide engine components and information for the "do it yourself" experimental Corvair engine builder. Aircraft kit components (gear, wing skins, wing tanks, and more) will become available soon.
