June 2005

The Diesel Dilemma
Jet-A engines are hot in Europe so why aren’t they here yet? You won’t like the answer: Gas is still too cheap and service is non-existent.

Portable GPS Flyoff
The best of the best is Garmin’s GPSMAP 296 but Lowrance’s 1000 and 2000C are the hands-down top value portables.

Hangar Tugs
To save your back, you probably need one for even a light single. Top picks are the Dragger series and Northwest’s venerable Powertow.

The Mentor’s Lesson
The up again, down again saga of T-34 spar cracks has given owners fits. But the long term payoff may one day save the Bonanza fleet.

JPI’s Data Imbroglio
Some customers are steamed by JPI’s move to code the digital output of its engine monitors. If data analysis is a priority, buyers should consider EI.

Grumman Tiger
Sprightly speed, sporty handling and a canopy you can open in flight has generated fanatical loyalty.
