So...What did Santa Bring you?

Santa looked at the economy and knew he'd have a big load to
deliver, the blizzard was necessary for the sleigh.

It could mount on a helmet but I don't wear one. I appeciate the concern
Jim but this is cross country skiing. No faster than jogging. I don't
wear a helmet when I walk around either, unless I am chewing gum.

Princeton Tec Quad. It even has a strobe on it. I can wear that when I fly

There goes the night vision! g

How many LED's does it have, Quad, meaning 4? How many watts?

Yup 4. Not sure on the wattage but it is 21 lumens. That is very very
bright for a headlamp.

We live in Central Mass. Lots of great cross country skiing around here,
assuming there is snow, which we don't have yet. So the gadgets will
have to wait, unless I do some night hiking which my dog would enjoy
instead of the skiing.

I would think you would need a lot of brightness for night skiing, but I
don't know. There is not a lot of scross country skiing, here at the foot
of the "mountains" in NC. g I went one time with a friend while visiting
in Ohio, a very long time ago.

so that's enough of an aviation upgrade for our Christmas season...

How 'bout you? Whad'ja find in *your* Christmas stocking?



My colleague and I got our Christmas present early, on Friday. Stuck
in Denver with commercial air traffic at a halt, our company decided to
send the company jet for us. Picked us up at Centennial at 8:30am, and
arrived at home at 11:30. At home with the family for Christmas:
priceless!

You should mention the company's name as that is a company worth doing
business with.

Is that bright enough at skiing speeds to avoid whatever darts in front
of your headlamp?

Cross country skiing, where it is flat, is not much faster than a fast walk.
We are not talking about downhill ski speeds, here!

That is what the doctor ordered! The complaint I always have is that
blades
don't lock, in most convertable tools. I don't feel safe using a pocket
knife blade that does not lock. It does lock in the crunch tool!

That has been my complaint as well. This may be the solution.

Do you "log the time?"

Does FS X come with the 430/530? (I haven't opened the box yet, but I
know it was an add-on for FS 9)

Jay,

I got Flight Sim X for Christmas also. Have you found a way to get it
to properly simulate a Garmin 430/530? I was using the Reality XP plug
in for FS 9, but it doesn't seem to be out for FS X yet...


What is wrong with the G 430/530? I'm still wishing I could find an
add-in that supports the KLN-89B. I bought my FS2004 mainly to maintain
instrument proficiency, not thinking that it wouldn't support the unit I
fly. Oh well, my son likes to play with it at least so it wasn't a
total loss.

It is good to hear that not every company is an Enron in waiting.
