After a little detour to Christchurch for fuel and a new pilot (crew duty) due wind shear, we’re almost on the ground at beautiful Queenstown!

We just love our PKG billet-machined 6061-T6 mirrors (clip-on, bolt-on or suction-cup)... they make tandem flying so much more enjoyable when you can see the smile to match your Pax's "woohoo"!

Thanks for the video Stuart-Russell ... the DRDT-2 makes accurate, quiet dimpling so straightforward!

Good evening aviators!

For anyone waiting to order PKG mirrors we have stock on the way from the factory right now (due next week), but be sure to get your order in promptly before your preferred colour runs out - they don't last long!

G'day fellow aviators!

Great news for those in need of a sliding canopy lock ... we've recovered the cost of the equipment and from today onwards PKG is offering optional but FREE laser-engraving on all our direct canopy lock sales. Just select the option and define your preferred text in the notes on checkout and it shall be done!

These billet-machined canopy lock blocks are super tough, super popular and will also fit painted canopy rails without jamming. They are available to order laser-engraved with your aircraft registration (blank by default, but custom engraving is now FREE from PKG!). Features include a 10mm stainless...

G'day aviators!

Unsurprisingly, we've totally sold out (all 100) PKG mirrors in just a few weeks! The next batch of about 200 is already on order, but for anyone in desperate need please check stock with Flyboy Accessories (clip-on and suction cup) or JD Air (bolt-on version)!

All three versions are very popular - 'clip-on' for RVs & Rockets, 'bolt-on' to suit RVs with JD Air handles and 'suction cup' for tip-up and tip-over canopies. Don't miss out on your preferred color ... we're more than happy to take pre-orders via the site!

Right now PKG has plenty of black, red, blue and silver security locks (for sliding canopies) in stock.

As 2025 comes to a close, everyone at PKG wishes you a wonderful, safe Christmas break with lots of family fun and laughter!

See you in 2026!

For those that don't already know, PKG is also a dealer for MyGoFlight and FlightFlix!

We stock most of the popular products right here in Sydney (short wait, low postal costs). They truly are a fabulous way to mount EFBs and smart phones in tight cockpits with maximum flexibility and space saving without control interference.

Our PKG QuadLock adapter is excellent for mounting a stock QuadLock smart phone case on an MGF Sport Adapter Gen 3 ... enabling transfer between the car or motorbike and the plane and back super convenient.

MyGoFlight is driven to make flying and travel safer and simpler. We solve the problems that enhance airplanes and avionics technology as well as the journey itself.

Good evening aviators!

Great news - after a month-long delay (factory under-estimated production time for hundreds of items), our first major production run of CNC billet-machined 6061 parts should be with PKG in about 10 days! 🙂

The not so happy news is that the time has finally come to raise our prices quite a bit, because no overseas business can escape the new USA import tariffs unfortunately 😟

Australia Post has finally resumed shipments to the US after partnering with Zonos to ensure packages are Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) in advance of arrival at US Customs & Border Force, but unfortunately IT don't yet have all the Harmonised Tariff Codes loaded, so we have to choose carefully to avoid having to charge a much worse tariff than necessary! We regret the tariffs, but will always do our best to minimise impact to customers.

Thank you for your business and understanding - we appreciate it!
