Not long ago, I inquired about whether a LIghtspeed 30-3G was a
bargin for $300. Most thought it was too good a deal to be true. Well, I got it but today was the first time I flew it with it. Works great. About the stall horn... The passive headsets I've been using for the past three years worked fine. Perhaps to well, in some cases. For instance, that passive headset blocked out the stall horn about 90% of the time. In those brief moments when I did hear it, it was more of a fleeting impression of something buzzing. I had thought a couple of times about suggesting some sort of gizmo to RST Engineering to electronize the mechanical thingie for me -- especially after a passenger asked me what the noise was and I responded with, "What noise?" Today, on a 3.2H round-robin cross-country, the 30-3G worked great. I especially enjoyed the treble-boost feature that compensates for a chronic hearing deficiency that accompanies my advancing age. During the flare on my first approach to landing the stall horn blared at me for the first time in I don't remember how many landings. In the few millimoments before I recognized what the noise was, my reflexes were actually initiating a go-around. Yup, I'm hooked on the ANR [or whatever] headsets. HOORAY, the stall-horn returneth. |
