I found it invaluable and wished I had spent more money on a more powerful model. I still have it, and will take it up with me the next time I fly at night and let you know how it works out. I'll go to a familiar farm area I use to practice engine outs without actually landing, and see how it performs. Who knows, it may end up in my flight bag alongside my survival kit and food rations!
