Walking The Grounds…

Some attend shows like Sun ‘n Fun for the airplanes, others the air show, but plenty are there to find the latest hardware to attach, install or otherwise hang from their airplane (or themselves). AVweb scoured four hangars and about four acres of exhibitors’ booths to see what’s available and we found a few things that have just hit the market. Note that some of this stuff is for experimental aircraft only but some are STC’d for certified planes. Drop by AVweb‘s NewsWire to get a quick glimpse of 10 products that caught our eye — pop-out air-driven emergency alternators, fuel computers, bronzing your certificate, collision-avoidance gizmos and more. Plus, if you’ve ever wanted to build your own prop, it just got a lot easier.
