ANR "Magic Hand" Handset Holder
You spend about $1,000 for a sophisticated ANR (Active Noise Reduction) headset, and the Control/Battery handset just flops around like a dead fish in your cockpit - especially in turbulence. No More! This clever solution uses a 2 part assembly to magically and reliably hold your Controller exactly where you want it - but come off whenever you want it! Available for Bose A20 or Lightspeed (Sierra or Zulu) with Pilot or CoPilot -side mount cradle MSRP: $59.95
Pilot Side, Zulu (Lightspeed) Mount
49.95
The actual handset is clipped into a Cradle, that then mates into a magnetic 'tongue in groove' matching, slim plate (pic below) attached to your sidewall.
Close Up
Close up of picture at left.
You can barely see either the cradle that your handset clips into, or the magnetic mount that holds it out of your way, on the side wall.
Same Wall Mount, but with a Bose A20
A different cradle is used to attach to the Bose A20 handsets, but that handset can also clip into the same magnetic wall mount. So Pilots with either Bose, Zulu or Sierra headsets can use the same "Magic Hand" attachment!
For the CoPilot, too!
Bose or Lightspeed (Zulu/Sierra) can be mounted on the Left or Right Side (4 purchase /configuration Options)
Added Convenience
When properly placed, it even holds your handset for you when you open the door, and get in/out of the plane
The "Wall Mount"
This is the only part that stays with the plane. Only about 1/4" thick, and uses removeable 3M Command tape, if you ever change your mind. This mount will mate with the cradle for either your Bose A20, your Zulu, or Sierra handsets. So even if you and your partner(s) use different Headsets, this one small mount is all you need for both of you.
Cargo Lock
The simple, clever, affordable solution to hinged cargo doors that just won’t stay open – until now. The magnetic underside grips firmly to your cargo door arm, but pops off with a quick tap. Then it can be stowed for easy access with the built-in hook hole (or just slipped into the seat back pocket). (Baron / A36 version has extra cut out for flange clip) MSRP: $14.95
Perfect
The U-Shaped channel fits right over your hinge. Magnets help hold it itn place.
Convenient
Keeps your door hinge from bending and closing - usualy on your head or fingers when you're trying to load the plane
For Barons and A36s
Both the Baron and the A36 use a slightly different hinge size, and we have a version for them, too.
This is for 58 Baron/A36 Bonanza
The 55/56 Barons have the same door system as 35/33 Bonanzas.
Stores Conveniently
A well-placed notch on the back allows for easy storage (3M hooks from your local Home Depot or Lowes, suggested), or just slip it into your seatback pocket.
Discreet and unobtrusive.
Does exactly what you need it to!

CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) doesn't mean much to most people, in this context, so here's an actual video of the fan power that you can relate to.

About Us
Better Engineering, from a family of Engineers and Pilots
Necessity is the Mother of Invention,
and when Engineers need something that doesn't exist - they build it.
As I moved toward semi-retirement from my IT/Manufacturing Consulting career and spent more time enjoying my plane and my family, I found myself saying
"Why didn't someone build these things that would come in so handy for pilots?"
So what follows are "Somebody DID think of that, and built it!" items.
