Redbird Alloy Rudders
Redbird, the company that makes a wide variety
of fl ight simulators for professional and home
use, has come out with a high-end rudder pedal
assembly, the Alloy RD1, that can plug into any
of Redbird's desktop fl ight simulation devices,
including TheJay, the TD and the
TD2. Featuring a rugged, all-metal
design and attractive styling, the
Alloy Rudder Pedals help to
better recreate the look
and feel of the real
deal by adding spring
mechanisms and differential
braking for more plane-like taxi, takeoff and
landing feel. The Alloy Pedals are priced
at $549.00.

Raptor Sunglasses
Every pilot needs a good pair of sunglasses, and
this pair from Ray-Ban delivers a classic style for
fl iers who prefer subtle, less-obtrusive coverage.
The Gunmetal Raptor glasses feature a slim,
rectangular shape and muted colors, with gray
frames and olive-colored lenses. The lenses are
Ray-Ban’s G15 non-polarized lenses, which, unlike
polarized glasses, allow fl iers to view cockpit
instruments and digital devices.
The glasses protect against 100% of ultraviolet
rays and are priced at $153 per pair. Each
purchase comes with a carrying case for the
glasses as well as a cleaning cloth.
