Pocket EFIS At An Affordable Price

It doesn’t make sense to invest $20,000 to $100,000 for a glass panel in an aircraft that may only have a market value of $20,000 to $50,000. There was a void in that segment of the market, and because of it apps and iPads have gained significant market share in the aviation arena.

America's Iconic GA Airplane Celebrates Its Heritage

Whether you fly ultralight, LSA, certified airplane, military jets, or wide-bodied airliners, there is one aircraft type that practically personifies aviation. That airplane is the Piper J-3 Cub. The 75-year-old design is perhaps the most recognizable, and most copied, airplane that has ever graced the skies.

Is This The Do-All LSA?
