    Lost vacuum on way to Florida IFR in VMC

    Does your EFB have an AI view? I added the AHRS to my Stratux and tried it on a partial panel approach with safety pilot. It was very usable. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Barf Air

    Took my boys up in a glider on some "dynamic" soaring days...both ended up puking in my boonie hat after about 5 minutes. The sad thing is, I still use the hat :(
