Hello Matt,

Have you been able to put one of your LamborghIcon 916s in the hands of a customer? I would love to hear how it is going. Also, when we talked at Oshkosh, you were working on a 40 gallon gas tank. I would love to hear how that is going.

Hello Michel,

All is going well here at Great Lakes Icon. We have been making a few refinements to the 916 project and we will be delivering 916 into customers hands this spring. I will be flying our demo 916 to Sun-N-Fun for anyone to come take a look. I will also be posting videos and performance data once the weather gets nicer up here in Northern Indiana / Southern Michigan. As for the fuel tank it is a 30 gallon tank not 40 gallons. The tooling for the tank is underway and the calibration and updated fuel gage process will be starting shortly.

Matt, can you tell all of us how MOSAIC will help with your endeavors? Would love an update on your progress and deliveries.

After July 2026, planes will be able to mod without the need to go experimental since they will still be considered a Light Sport plane. At that time, folks with RVs and such will start rolling their Experimental status over to Light Sport. I would assume that would help with insurance rates.

pretty exciting times…

Also could open door to factory teaming up with Matt to do a turbo version.

There is no reason to move an experimental amateur built airplane to light sport. You can utilize the new MOSAIC rules without doing that.

I heard people talking about doing it, but I thought it was for lower rates. Not sure.
