Saitek LCD HDDs

Posted on by Robin

Saitek is launching some small LCDs which plug into flight simulators (please write a lot of drivers for these things!) and can be used to replace the instrumentation. These Head Down Displays turn your PC into a glass cockpit at around $99.99 per piece.

Sonex electric aircraft

Posted on by Robin

The Sonex is powered by 80 lithium polymer batteries and has a flight time of 45 minutes. Sonex / AeroConversions expect to be able to extend that to an hour. It seats two and will be “vastly less expensive than other things out there.”
