LoPresti’s still-in-the-making – the factory’s not yet built – two-place retract Fury aircraft will sport an iPod for entertainment and flight data recording (but not “black box”) purposes, according to LoPresti’s vice president of operations R.J. Siegel. One unit is already in testing, and AVweb‘s Glenn Pew caught up with R.J. to find out how it’s working, what it’s doing, when it might be coming to a cockpit near you, and what the FAA (so far) has to say about it.
