Airplane Things .COM has donated the postcard mailing that we used to advertise this years fly-in.  Thanks to Bill and Diane!  Their products are:

The Av-Sun Readers are sunglasses specially designed for pilots who need reading glasses. The bifocals are placed low so your view out side the plane will not be distorted. The tint fades on the bottom of each lens to give you a bright, sharp view of a map. They are available in 3 styles, 3 sizes, and your choice of bifocal strength.   Only $79.95

I heard it with my own ears, and it pretty well says it all about these glasses. "These are the best sun glasses I have ever had.  The shading is perfect, and I look great in them."

 

The Control Saver is a control lock designed for both Piper and Mooney Aircraft. It prevents wind damage to aircraft controls by securing the ailerons in the neutral position and stabilizer in the down position. On Pipers and Mooneys the rudder is held in place by its connection to the nose wheel   . Only $39.95

 


*** TESTIMONIALS ***
 

"I have noticed that over the years planes that over the years (with 3/4 inch control wheel shafts) that the owners use the seat belts the shaft becomes bent due to the seat belt pulling down on the shaft. This is not a good situation because not only does it bent the shafts it puts a great load on the column universal joint. I would recommend you consider the control lock from Airplanethings. They are inexpensive and do a great job". Dick Russ

"The best control lock I have found is the the one from Airplane Things.
It holds the controls in the proper position and against the stops to prevent damage in high winds. It also prevents water from collecting in the stab". Bob Bomar

"Bill and Diane Airplane Things have the best (sunglasses) there is.  Readers, yes, and the tint is darker at the top and light at the bottom so you can read charts better. Many different strengths and three styles to choose from". Dave Wheeler

"I have an Airplane Things control lock. I sometimes park my plane on a very windy ramp for a week or two at a time. The control lock works great." JP, AZ

"I will second Airplane Things control lock. It keeps the stab in the perfect position to protect it from damage. Much better than the seat belts pulling on the control column. It looks good and cannot be missed on startup. And the owners are very nice people" Bob B.

"I absolutely love Bill and Diane's reader sun glasses. I am not a pilot, but when flying with Dave, I can read the chart and look outside and both are clear. They work great in the car too" Janis W, WA

"I have their control lock and love it as well. It's portable, light weight, and practical. I keep it in the seat back" Ken D, WA

"I have their reader sunglasses. They are great for flying. I found the tint too dark in the first pair; I called, sent them back and got a replacement pair with a lighter tint - no charge, no hassle. I have been using them ever since." Joe, IL

"I have their reader sunglasses and think the are the greatest thing since sliced bread!!! Would definitely buy again. Had the control saver in a previous Cherokee. It is a very simple, yet excellent solution for keeping the control surfaces in the proper position while being easy to deploy. The only reason I don't have a control saver in my current aircraft is because it has a factory gust lock." Joe Y., Olathe, KS
