One of the airplanes we hoped to cover here at AirVenture was the new Icon A5, an amphibious LSA that the company says has the potential to reset the entire market. Well, maybe. It's sure a good-looking airplane. Icon promised us a trial flight then, without explanation, abruptly withdrew the invitation. This has happened before at AirVenture and frankly, it doesn't upset me too much. Doing a flight trial here at the show is not the best way to evaluate an airplane because such demos tend to be rushed and you really need a full day to do them right.
