My previous motor-glider (gas-powered) was delivered with
a fuselage-attached boom mike, which worked adequately.


The use of ear-buds is a great idea, but the cost
is somewhat eye-watering!

Compared to the cost of a motor-glider?


I just use the cheapest Ebay aviation headset
which will collapse to a reasonable size, unlike the premium headsets.

Should go well with a motor-glider purchased on eBay...
