    ForeFlight to drop iPad 1, iPhone 3G, iOS 5 support

    Apple sold 9 million iPhone 5s/5c's in US, PR, Canada, UK, France, Germany, China, Australia, HK, Japan, and Singapore in the first 3 days (note: probably includes pre-orders for the 5c). And 200 million iOS devices are already running iOS 7. I think Tommy Boy said it pretty well...

    Dual XGPS160 SkyPro Bluetooth GPS Receiver?

    No PIREP on the 160, but here's a trick I learned for getting your 150 to pair with an Apple device again: 1) Turn the DUAL on. 2) Open the access cover over the USB port & mode switch. 3) Slide the mode switch from the right (Apple) to the left (Android). This causes it to forget any...

    Accelerated IFR Recommendations

    I went out to Sheble (http://shebleaviation.com) for their 10-day IFR course, and was very happy with both the training & the result: passed first time, have been flying IFR now for 12 years. At the time planes & procedure trainer were old but well-maintained, and the local hotel...

    Stratus power connector

    I believe Appareo improved the USB socket connection method shortly after the Stratus was introduced in 2012, so you should be able to get warranty coverage on that. Contact Sporty's or Appareo, wherever you bought yours, and explain what happened. Hopefully they don't give you static for...

    X-aviaonics

    I have xavion on my iPhone 4 and I have tested it with the Bad Elf plug-in. Works pretty well, but I've mostly flown with it while practicing instrument approaches, and it always says I'm low-energy, won't make the field :) Looking forward to taking it on a longer flight when I'm up higher and...

    Bump for UPDATE: Following the technique outlined here: I left it on for 24 hours while plugged-in to the wall power, confirmed the time was correct, then turned it off, unplugged it and left it off all week. When I next turned it on (after it had been off & unplugged all week) the time and...

    Mac Book

    Also, in my experience, OWC's customer service is excellent. They stepped-up to the plate and resolved to my complete satisfaction a problem with an external drive enclosure (miniStack v3) that had intermittent glitches. - Josh

    Cool Shuttle Video

    If memory serves, that lean over & back was called the "twang." Kinda makes me think of flipping then little spring door stoppers when I was a kid. But with a million pounds of thrust! The cable company (C*mcast) where I used to live had NASA TV as an always-on channel; I judged this as one...
