What a crock. Pick up a copy of Plane & Pilot, turn to page 34-35 and tell me I'm not seeing things. The new glass panel Symphony 160 is half focused, half out of focus? Hello? What kind of crap is this?
The PFD, MFD, AI and radio stack all appear to be nicely focused, ala marketing photos pasted on to a blown up photo of a panel. Did they actually think someone wasn't going to notice this?
On another note, a whole article devoted to saving fuel talks about 100LL and different techniques for reducing fuel costs. A valiant effort on their part. The only problem is that the open cowling shown on page 58 from a plane called "Don's Idea" is a modified Luscombe (I think or something similar) that is actually a turbine engine.
This magazine needs a better editor than one worried about whether or not he needs plastic surgery (in his column). Sheesh.
