Cool Stuff | PRODUCTS THAT MATTER
 LIGHTWEIGHT PORTABLE CHOCKS
These clever chocks are ideal for taking with you on a trip, weighing in at just 6.5 ounces per pair. They stack neatly together and can be stowed in the airplane or even carried in your flight bag. Just $20 per pair from airgizmos.com.
 DAVID CLARKE X11 HEADSET
This is the latest evolution in high-end, luxury headsets. The X11 is a comfortable stereo headset with electronic noise canceling technology that can be neatly folded in on itself for compact storage—no more broken mic booms. The unit features an integrated cell phone and music input, and it can squeeze 30 hours of run-time out of two, AA batteries thanks in part to an auto-shutoff capability that turns the system off when it’s not in use. A deal at $865 from davidclark.com.
 FLYING ROUTE 66
Aviation photographer Russel Munson takes you on an aerial tour of America’s oldest, cross-country highway in a Piper Super Cub. Munson traverses the entire 2500-mile stretch of historic asphalt from Chicago to Santa Monica in spectacular color, illustrating why this fabled highway continues to capture the imagination of pilots and non-pilots alike. Just $30 from sportys.com.
LIGHTWEIGHT GARMENT BAG
This light-weight garment bag is ideal for general aviation travel because it doesn’t include all of the heavy super-structure required to protect your stuff from ham-fisted luggage handlers. An internal loop allows you to hang suits, skirts, shirts and other dress clothing in a virtually wrinkle-free environment, protected from the elements by a nylon canvas material that is rugged and light-weight. Just $16 from magellans.com.
 WARBIRD WALL CLOCKS
These attractive, all-metal 14-inch diameter clocks will add a nostalgic touch to your office, hangar or family room. Each clock is made with a technology that embeds the image onto the surface of the metal dial. The face is then set into an aluminum riveted case with a polished-crystal dome. Just $30 from aircraftspruce.com.
INSTANT SOAP
If you thought those little mouth-wash sheets that dissolve in your mouth were cool, check this out: small sheets of soap that dissolve in water, instantly creating hand-fulls of soft, bubbling lather. Now you get clean anywhere with just water. Available in water-tight packs of 50 sheets for just $10 from magellans.com.
