The Bose headsets become less than worthless if the ANR dies. Their passive sucks big time. Also, their connector wiring is really winpy quality IMO. I think they're really targeted at people who just feel a lot better if they spend more. Their ANR response seems to be tuned to knock out piston...

Does anyone know where I might find structural drawings for a UH-1? -- J Kimmel www.metalinnovations.com "Cuius testiculos habes, habeas cardia et cerebellum." - When you have their full attention in your grip, their hearts and minds will follow.

Does anyone know if this is possible?

I'm sure it has been posted before but for those who haven't seen it, check out JustHelicopters.com and look at the alternate board - not the original. One is for serious questions, answers, discussions, and the other is wild and raucus with rumor, name calling, crazy, funny as hell sometimes,...

How come Robinson never brought out an EFi upgrade? I understand the development, testing and certification would cost a lot but surely the equipment is already available, not THAT expensive, and the safety and performance benefit (no carb heat or mixture controls!) would make it worthwhile? Just...

"The OTHER Kevin in San Diego" skiddz "AT" adelphia "DOT" net wrote in message ... I usually fly with my sunglasses on and this particular pair was given to me as a gift and are the first "good" sunglasses I've ever had. Thus far, I'd not had...

Save some money, you don't need new glasses. I wear glasses and solved the problem by buying a pair of "Oregon Aero" ear seals. Most pilot shops have them. They are a bit more expensive then other high end brands but these do the trick and function as "seals" efectively. Try them, you'll lile...

I have some pics from the 2005 Rotorfest held at The American Helicopter Museum and Education Center posted at http://www.geocities.com/pmh7inpa/ ROTORFEST2005.html

A few weeks ago on my last flight I kept having to put the collective lock on and scratch my nose on the circuit approach. Could be nerves, but my instructor noticed and commented "we'll have to get the tail rotor looked at during the next service." When I queried that odd announcement, I was...

Recently I was involved in an incident, luckily both student and I are ok, dough my beck hurts a bit. Now, I am working as an instructor for some three years an have loged...

Kev The Clarks are OK, BOSE way expensive. I discovered a long time ago that ear plugs under the headset did the same thing and a lot cheaper! BTW, there is a question over in Just Helicopters in the new forum regarding simulators. Thought you could give some good input there if you choose to go...

I have just over 300 high res (200 dpi, 10 inch wide minimum) images of the Lockheed AH-56 Cheyenne on CD if anyone is interested. They include mockup, construction, in-flights, details and even a couple pieces of line art. Price is $15 (plus $5 shipping US and Canada, $8 outside US). If interested...

It's getting pretty boring here. So, who has done an actual emergency autorotation and what was the outcome? As previously posted, I've done at least five with various failures and all to successful conclusions. Geeez guys....it's Christmas! Can't we say something or do something to brighten up the...

There are several firms offering either plans for, or kits, for homebuilt helicopters that have little if any supporting actual flite test data. Yet apparently there are willing buyers out there willing to part with their money for these subjects of marketing rhetoric. Even EAA gave some...

To All: Removal of the FAA AFS-800 Part 61 and 141 FAQ web site Last month the FAA cancelled the AFS-800 Part 61 and Part 141 FAQ's. Evidently the reason was because the FAA Public Relations folks, the creator of the FAA's main "How do I become a Pilot?" FAQ web page convinced the...
