Default Thoughts on _Aviation Consumer_?


What do people here think of Aviation Consumer? I was considering
subscribing to help me "keep up" in the product space. But some recent
articles lacked details which I view as significant, and that leads me to
question the periodical.

That's a very small data sample, though, so I'm eager to hear what others
think.

The details by the way, we

1. In a discussion of the new "standby gyro" that Sporty is selling,
there was no mention that this product can tumple. Despite AC 91-75's
lack of mention of this, I view that as significant: If I'm going to
replace a TC with an AI, I'll want that AI to be at least as
tumble-resistent as a TC.

Either I'm wrong about the Sporty AI being able to tumple, or
the article missed this crucial point.

2. A review of the Sporty navcom didn't mention its size in comparison
to other products. That may seem silly and obvious, but not worthy
of mention?

Am I overreacting? Is this periodical worth the (nontrivial!) price?
