April 2004

Tornado Alley Turbos
If you have the need for speed and the budget to pay for it, these turbo set-ups deliver an honest 200-plus knots.

Budget Traffic Nags
Improved versions of the Monroy and SureCheck perform better. Monroy’s ATD-300 enjoys a razor-thin edge.û

Used Portable GPS
There are good deals out there but in the portable field, avoid buying an out-of-date clunker that’s no longer supported.

Spin-On Filter Mods
Many engines are equipped with old style rock-catcher oil screens. Paper filter conversions are worth the expense.

Cowl Plugs That Stay Put
For $50, we can’t think of a better investment. Kennon’s products are our first choice.

The Secret Life of 80H
You know it’s going to be a bad day when the airplane you once owned turns up in pieces on eBay.

Aviat Husky
A thoroughly modernized rag-and-tube utility aircraft that shines on floats or wheels.
