MOSAIC is the most consequential change in general aviation in decades. Announced on July 22, 2025 at AirVenture, the rule will go into effect 90 days later on October 22, 2025. If you're a pilot or aircraft owner it's likely these new expanded options for sport pilots and light sport aircraft will affect you in some way...directly or indirectly.
I had foam insulation installed in my hangar. This foam conforms to the shape of the hangar interior walls as it dries, and almost looks like regular texture you would see in a home with sheetrock walls. It dries within minutes and is paintable in the same day. It also seals the entire hangar, preventing bugs from getting in. @Vansaircraftbuilders #Vansaircraft

We're on Wittman Field at Oshkosh, Wisconsin, on Friday, July 18, 2025. EAA AirVenture 2025 does not officially start until Monday, but the airplanes are arriving in droves today, with pleasant weather. Although a crosswind is offering a few thrills once in awhile. And that occasional crackling sound you hear is the colorful streamers at the crowd line whipping in the wind.
Many videos and articles about affordable airplanes have gotten it wrong. If you want to save the most amount of money when owning your own airplane, this is how you do it. Certified airplanes like the Cessna 150 and 172 might be cheap in the beginning, but the cost quickly adds up.
