Presentation
SPEAKER: Board Member John Swanstrom
Rotax!
These powerplants propel much of the ‘experimental’ fleet we aviators fly, and a myriad of other vehicles worldwide – but what are they?
Please join us for an evening of all things Rotax. Our resident Rotax expert, EAA 124 Board Member John Swanstrom has just returned from his factory Rotax powerplant training and he’s primed to spill the beans on Rotax. What are they? How do they work? Where did they come from? What makes them different? And why do so many aircraft builders choose them as the heart of their propulsion systems?
John is a longtime EAA 124 Chapter member, attending his first meeting here in 1985! He’s a private and instrument rated pilot who began flying over 25 years ago. He built his first RV-9a in 2010 and has since build an RV-12is and worked on many other aircraft builds here in Sonoma County. He credits our Chapter and members for inspiring and mentoring him on his aeronautical journey and is excited to share some of his hard-won knowledge with us.
As an added bonus, John has some updates about a young member who passed through our halls and has since gone on to exciting endeavors. Arnaud Lemans from France spent time with us here at the Chapter in 2016 & 2017, attending all of our meetings and flying with many of our members. Apparently, we made an impression on him!! John spent time with Arnaud recently in France and is excited to share an update on how we helped shape this young man’s journey and where his dreams have taken him!
EAA 124… inspiring aviators and making lifelong friends! We’ll see you at the meeting!
