500E

Have an Eagle like it the helmet once the pads were set up is comfortable. the ear cups take a fair bit of adjusting to seal well without adjusting your head , jell seals were the first mod I did. Wish All machines had 1 standard connector Like the magnetic catch idea more info please? Fitted headsetsinc ANR kit to the Eagle not that taken with the mod, I use Pilot ANR head sets in another machine, friend modified a 3M Type 2 hearing protector head set with the electronics from a set of damaged Pilot ANR they are the quietest I have flown with. Have a Lightspeed Mach 3 with custom inserts not impressed with those either, the cups on standard head sets stop bone transfer Check the passive protection of the head set first then the added ANR, I also understand the ANR helps clarity rather than protection across the hearing range, I think there is a Swedish or Norwegian paper setting out the pros & cons, also read a report that fast jet protection ANR is tailored to individual aircraft types. https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=-8wOd2fQZ2IC&pg=PA967&lpg=PA967&dq=anr+headset+reports&source=bl&ots=8P69BGRuI-&sig=ACfU3U0PvUK9jNQ60PcuU8w8ulU9o6nXOg&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjc2KS2mbboAhWioVwKHYiuCk0Q6AEwD3oECAoQAQ#v=onepage&q=anr headset reports&f=false

I have Lightspeed in ear with custom moulds had 2 sets made by different Co neither feel comfortable, tend to use Pilot ANR A friend had some moulds made by one of the Co I used & borrows the Lightspeeds, love them I think it is down to personal preference. The ones I use on Bike annoy me after 1\2 hour as well different mould Co again

Never had one of these crack or spit bits out

Fidley to post picks now most sites are drag & drop

Never thought about looking inside was told just keep it in the green & look where you are going to put it, but I can see how you could get fixated about the numbers & when you look out it is a rush to get your last bit clean. The other thing is a real auto is not like practice the motor is gone no little bit of help at the bottom with the remaining motor RPM & as sure as hell you want to get collective down quick the RRPM drop seems to be a lot quicker when it all goes quite, How do I know (around 300ft in a 300c climbing out nothing bent), went & thanked the instructor after lessons learnt cant remember what I did it was so quick, WE always did Autos to the ground I know it is not the modern way but I found it easier than recovering to a hover

As Bonzo said it should be a strait in auto or are you leaving the turn till you are low & having to flare in the turn,, bit like a down wind quick stop turning into wind.

Personally I find the format a pain clunky not friendly.

Would you want to work for a Co that has such poor interpersonal skills,

Thanks for reply Brian what a downer seeing you spent so much time to get it right, Sent you a PM
