Why not just buy a better headset? That ought to take care of any noise
from the sheetmetal and it won't add a bunch of weight and potential for hidden corrosion to form under the deadening material. I thought this discussion was about a bush plane? All of the serious bush pilots that I know strip all of that crap OUT of their airplanes if possible. ---------------------------------------------------- Del Rawlins- Remove _kills_spammers_ to reply via email.

Unofficial Bearhawk FAQ website: http://www.rawlinsbrothers.org/bhfaq/ I thought it was about a Zodiac, but i've been wrong before... But a Bush plane with rattle padding? File under Hard Lessons Learned: How important it is - and how hard it is - to keep excess weight OUT of an airplane. Temper foam is a great example. This is for sure and certain the most comfortable stuff imaginable short of free fall, but the WEIGHT! Padding a pair of bucket seats can add 30 pounds to the empty weight of the airplane. Ed Heineman would tell it loud and clear... Simplacate rather than complicate. Add lightness rather than heaviness. Richard

I agree that you should lighten and simplify whenever possible. One reason not to do anything is that the panels make quite a racket as buffeting occurs near stall. Maybe this is just another genius of Chris Heinz? thanks everybody for the discussion tom
