I'm doing OK. Just still dealing with all the legal things that probably always happen after such an accident. I really cant speak much about the actual accident now, but I am sure there will be a time in the future where it will be appropriate. For now I am being realistic and dont think I really have a need for a lot of stuff I still have. Not to mention a practically new set of BAC ground handling wheels, extra full set of 500 "c" model door glass, full set of covers, ground APU cart, and some piston stuff too like mag timer, spark plug cleaner tester,oil filter cutter.....etc. I guess when you start buying helicopters you collect all kinds of other stuff too. Again, thanks for all the warm wishes. Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedge36 Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Hey, Justin - good to see you back, mang. Wish you were taller and didn't have such a big head or I'd be snatching up some gear Good luck on the sale, your recovery, and have a happy holiday season. I'm glad you're here to enjoy it.

jtravis1 Posted December 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 ..... didn't have such a big head On a sizing note. Gentex helmets run a little small. I dont consider myself to have a large head......but this is how they run by sizing. XL is from 22 1/2 to 23 1/2 circumference. I am just a little smaller then 22 1/2 (22 1/4) but it fits quite well. I did not want to order a large and have it be too tight. Large being 21 1/2 - 22 1/2. Again....thanks for the well wishes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtravis1 Posted December 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Headset and one flightsuit are sold. I am sorry to say that I discovered an issue with the helmet. I took it out of the bag to see if my airplane adaptor was on it and I saw a problem. My friends moved many of the things out of the hanger for me. I am guessing someone must have set something heavy on the helmet bag. This caused it to be pressed in on the ears and resulted in a 2" crack being formed by the ear. The crack in the outermost shell which is paper thin. In fact the layer that is cracked is not much thicker then the paint that covers the helmet. (never seen how they are made). It does not appear as if the crack goes all the way through. I can not feel it from the backside. These helmets are completely modular so I am sure all the parts could be swapped with another shell. I think I picked the bare shell up for $250 before sending it to oregon aero for upfitting. Not knowing a lot about these helmets, I am not sure if the crack is only superficial or if it could be repaired. I would ask someone who knows. For this reason, I am taking offers on the helmet (obviously not at 675). But, for example, the mic itself was $100 not counting all the coms, wiring or oregon aero upgrades which can easily be swapped to another helmet. So...make an offer if you care to. Sorry for any inconvenience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
