Lightweight Headsets: LightSPEED is Tops LightSPEED’s new Mach 1 is the overall best performer but Clarity and Quiet also earn high marks. Panther’s Bluetooth worked surprisingly well. Gear of the Year: Garmin GPSmap 396 In our annual tour of the best products and services we’ve seen this year, Garmin’s GPSmap 396 is the walkaway winner. Hired Guns: Aeromedical Services The FAA has improved its special issuance medical service, but for a fee, several companies pledge to hand-carry your paperwork through the process. Is it worth it?

Lightweight Starters: Sky-Tec Covers the Map With powerful permanent magnets, lightweight starters spin faster and save up to eight pounds. They make better sense than repairing an old Delco. Zaon XRX Traffic: Affordable Azimuth We were impressed with the Zaon XRX’s range and azimuth capability. But we think it will need an external antenna to see traffic behind the airplane. Maule’s Taildraggers A family owned business endures at making utility airplanes that owners love and at prices that everyone can afford. |
