Trutrak auto pilot arrived!
My Trutrak ADI Pilot II arrived today! I saved $200 by ordering it now with the Young Eagles discount. Now I need to start working on my panel layout again.

My new compass came in today
Bought the SIRE lighted compass from Vans and it arrived today. This marks my first change of heart on an instrument after purchase...and it was on the first instrument I purchased - a pedastal compass. I sent it back to Vans along with the order for the SIRE. It was new in the box, so I was sure they wouldn't mind me trading up to the SIRE. I think the slider mount SIRE will be much nicer. We shall see.

The SIRE lighted slider mount compass looks cool!

Couple of flight instruments arrived today
Received my order from Vans today. I bought an airspeed indicator, altimeter, hobbs meter with switch and two eyeball cockpit lights. The lights are a lot smaller than I had imagined, about 1.5" in diameter, which is great.

Bought my first instrument today
Had to order something from Vans, so I went ahead and order my first instrument today. It is the pedestal mount compass. What I was ordering initially was only $6-7 and I did not want to pay Vans the $4 order fee and then shipping just for that, so I ordered the compass and a third tie down ring.
