What a Gear-up CostsEven for a modest single, the bidding starts at $40,000 or 20 years worth of premiums. Insurers always pay but so will you in higher rates, betterment and for hidden damage. Chelton’s FlightLogic: Tops in EFIS Display Even your old Cessna 210 can have state-of-the-art synthetic vision and highway-in-the sky sophistication with the Chelton FlightLogic EFIS displays. Just brace yourself to write a very large check. Chelton Flight Trial: Busy, But Learnable Although the screens are a bit small, the payoff is an unbeatable dynamic sense of where the airplane is and where it’s going. Wheels at the Airport: We Like Go-Peds We think the electric go-ped models are practical for a short ride to and from the airport. They’re smaller than bicycles, although heavier. Lowrance 600C: Nice Color, Bargain Price Packed with features and easy to use, the Lowrance Airmap 600C delivers high value for $500. The tradeoff is ergonomics not quite to Garmin standards. A Bulb’s Life: Q Bulbs Are Top Value For landing lights, GE’s popular 4509 bulb has appallingly short life. Galaxy is the hands down winner. Quartz Q4509s are worth the higher price. Mooney M20 (Pre-201) Known for strength, economy, speed and a sports-car fit, the basic Mooney airframe endures. |
