High-wing, low-wing, single-engine or twin, Italian aircraft manufacturer Tecnam showed off all of them at its stand, MD-021, on the opening day of Sun ’n’ Fun 2014. The company introduced its newest model, the low-wing Astore LSA, of which more than 30 are flying in Europe, to the U.S. market with typical Italian flair, touting its ability to carry larger pilots in comfort and sporting sophisticated Garmin 3X dual screen technology with GMA 240 audio and GTR 200 com radio in its panel, as well as the Levil G Mini, which, using its Wi-Fi connection, can provide a full primary flight display as well as air navigation and pre-programmed checklist and weight-and-balance apps. The aircraft can also be ordered with dual Dynon SV1000 Skyview EFIS, and accompanying avionics.
