Flashlights for Flying:Dorcy , TEC 40 Are Winners You can find a decent flashlight at the local hardware store but a little Web shopping will yield better quality and performance for the same prices. Electronic Flight Bags:Motion and NavAero Lead Shopping for EFBs is like nailing Jello to the wall, given variations in software, hardware and pilot preferences.Motion Computing’s LS800 is our top pick. Foldable Airport Bikes:Dahon’s Helios is Top Pick For under $600, market choices are limited. But the Helios rides well, folds small and is nicely made. ASA’s On Top Trainer:Practical, Light on Frills The graphics aren’t as slick as ELITE’s offering but low price and airplane library make it a terrific value. Insurance For Older Pilots If your kids call you gramps, your insurer may call you a bad risk and double your premium. But all’s not lost. Regular flight checks and a proactive broker can help. ECI Rod Recall:Where Are the Failures? An FAA AD proposes to replace thousands of ECI connecting rods. Yet engine shops say Lycoming rods show identical benign in-use wear patterns. Cessna 337 Skymaster Although not the fastest twins, Skymasters have decent payload and spacious cabins. They stand out as among the most affordable twins to buy. |
