It's only a month until Oshkosh. If you can go, that is the best place in the
world to look at alternatives. Don't overlook the option of a tablet PC that
serves both in flight and as your regular PC. I bought an HP TC1100 and
rationalized it that way. I am now thinking, though, I should have bought a
Motion as the HP screen is more difficult to read in glare/sunlight conditions.
eBay is the place for guest headsets. I have a low-end Telex that I bought in a
package of pilot gear. Sold off what I didn't want and got about what I paid
for the package. Ended up with a "free" headset and some other stuff.

I took and passed, the private pilot checkride on Tuesday.
What a relief! It wasn't nearly as bad as I thought I'd
be, and went very well.
Now I need an aviation GPS and 'Guest Headset', and I'm
hoping that readers of this list will have recommendations
about what to get, and where to buy it. Yes, I've seen
the eBay auctions, and I'm thinking of a higher end GPS,
maybe even color.
Any suggestions or experiences with specific models and
vendors will greatly help!
Regards,
Joe.
