The B7 FLIGHT is the FLEX version of our award-winning original Pilot
Flight Bag updated to allow even more flexibility. The included modules
let you build four bags for the price of one.
Description:
The B7 FLIGHT is perhaps the most useful flight bag ever designed.
It's a fact that some days you need more gear than others. The B7 lets
you carry a full set of flight gear for cross country and basic IFR
flight. And then it lets you downsize to a smaller bag for those days
when you're just going to take a quick VFR flight.
The B7 FLIGHT
is designed to hold one or two full-sized headsets plus a full suite of
charts, and of course your iPad (or two), a handheld radio, plus all the
small stuff you'll want along for the ride. It also serves as an
unbeatable carry-on personal bag when traveling on commercial flights,
or just as a terrific daily bag for a wide variety of personal and
professional uses.
Storage on the B7 starts with the POCKET CAP
FRONT: The POCKET CAP FRONT acts like the "hub" for your entire FLEX
System. No matter which configuration you carry you'll be attaching the
POCKET CAP FRONT to one end of your bag. And it's the "hub" because it
holds all the important small stuff and tech stuff and personal stuff
that you want with you no matter what. If you change configurations,
you'll always move the POCKET CAP FRONT to the new configuration which
means you'll always have all this key stuff with you, without any
repacking or reloading.
The B7 FLIGHT come with two side pockets: The SIDE POCKET ECHO, which is a totally unique insulated adjustable water bottle pocket, and a SIDE POCKET FOXTROT, which is our large fully zipper-enclosed pocket that can hold almost anything, including a large "brick" handheld radio.
The B7 FLIGHT includes a MAIN HANDLE, and a SHOULDER STRAP.
The
B7 does NOT include a SLIM HANDLE KIT. (If you ever think you'd like to
remove both of the Center Sections and zip just the two End Caps
together to make the B0 SLIM, you'll need to make sure you also order an SLIM HANDLE KIT.)
The CS4 and CS3
provide seven inches of storage depth (hence the name, "B7"), but keep
in mind that there is also three thin flat storage areas BETWEEN the
four modules for additional slim storage. (Remember, it is a soft bag so
it can expand slightly in every direction.) Keep in mind also that you
can add any other Center Section to the B7 (like zip a CS2
in between the CS3 and CS4) to add more storage on certain days. Any
FLEX System module can zip onto any other FLEX System module. The Main
Compartments of both the CS4 and CS3 have locking zipper sliders.
The
B7 FLIGHT will very commonly be used to carry two full-sized aviation
headsets of any brand inside the CS4. (There is a nice, slightly-tricky
way to place two large headsets - like the BOSE A20 - inside this space.
Just "intertwine" the ear cups in opposite directions. It's really nice
to fit two headsets of any kind in such a relatively small space.)
There is a specially-designed pocket on top of the CS4 to hold
Sunglasses and their case. And then the CS3 will be used to hold a
library of charts, or a iPad in it's bulky case, plus kneeboard, etc. A
small collection of charts or flight docs can go in the spaces between
the four modules. Surprisingly, a 13" Ultrabook or MacBook Pro can even
fit into this "in between" space, and the iPad (or other tablet) can go
in the main pocket on the FLAT CAP REAR.
The
B7 FLIGHT also works amazingly well as a daily personal bag and/or as a
commercial carry-on bag. A 13" laptop plus a load of documentation plus
an iPad, plus all the small stuff like cables, adapters batteries, and
support stuff for all your technology, your digital camera, snacks, etc -
all of this fits easily in this bag. Even your noise-reduction headset
for those long flights.
The other great thing about this bag
is that it is actually FOUR bags for the price of one. Not only is it a
B7 FLIGHT, but you can remove the CS3 and end up with the B4 SWIFT
as a result. Or you can remove the CS4, leaving the CS3 between the end
caps and have a nice compact personal bag (which could be called a
"B3"). But you can also build a B0 SLIM by removing both center sections
and zipping just the two End Caps together. (In this case, don't forget
to order an SLIM HANDLE KIT.)
