backup plan. Obviously a portable GPS and Comm unit are first on the priority list, but I'd also like to get a portable AI, since it's really hard to keep the wings level with just a GPS. I built a solid state turn coordinator with LED display that would run for about 24 hours on a pair of alkaline batteries. I never got around to moving it off the breadboard and into a nice package. There is a company that sells something I suspect is very similar. It's about the size of a deck of cards with row of LEDs on one edge, but of course now I can't find the name of it. Anyway, in concert with a portable GPS or even just a magnetic compass a solid state turn coordinator could keep you going under some pretty dire circumstances. -- Ben Jackson http://www.ben.com/
