Datalink or Sferics? For serious thunderstorm flying, having both datalink and sferics is our first choice. But if the budget allows only one system, datalinked weather is the hands down best pick. Roller Lifter: Improved Cam Life? Roller lifters have taken off in Experimentals and are already in some production engines. They may improve cam life, but it's too soon to confirm that. Sandel SN3500 EHSI: Pricey Performance But given its dazzling features and display, it's competitive with mechanical systems. Watch for installation bugaboos, however. Hangar tile systems: We like tuff seal Although the tile approach costs twice as much as painting, they're easier to install and you can move them later. Swiss Trax is a good budget choice. PFDs For Aircraft: Switlik, Crewfit Excel If you fly overwater frequently, constant wear vests are the best choice. We tried products from both the marine and aviation markets. Piper Cherokee PA28-140 It started life as a trainer and lives on as a budget cross-country flier for one or two people; mods can even make the 140 modestly peppy. |
