  • any of the following:
  • laptop computer

    You can NEVER use radio receivers or TV’s, all wireless devices are out. No cell phone calls while in air. And no, junior cannot use his remote control car or walkie talkie. Think of radio waves interfering with pilot radio. Might as well pack those things well away.
