My flying instructor always urged me to buy a stopwatch, and I could never understand why when there was one stuck to my wrist (along with a flight computer, but that's a bit small really). Is there actually any need for a proper stopwatch?
I got my flight bag from an outlet store for £9, my DCs are from the US, so I saved a fair bit on them, haven't done my night rating yet but when I do i've got a maglite at home. The kneeboard was ordered from the States, but that's quite a nice bit of kit - not one of those crappy clipboard and shoelace affairs.
