Hi All
A Question about Boom Mics. Why are they always mounted on the right
side of the cockpit? Is there any reason for not being able to mount
them on the Left side.
Thanks
Randy


Most single seat gliders that have hinged canopies have hinge on
right. You are more likely to get hung up on the mike if it
is on the left. Obviously tilt up canopies are symetrical.
Interestingly, I rarely see people getting in and out of either from
the right.
But then maybe the mike is in the way.
Schweizer gliders are left hinged and mikes are usaully on that side,
so the convention seems to follow.
FWIW
UH


yep i have an "American" glider which hinges from the left so I
mounted my boom mike on the left. Funny, I'm pretty sure that when
I've flown Leah's Cherokee (which has a totally removable canopy a la
Ka 6) I've still entered from the right as is my habit.
