Hi, I have just started my CPL training with the C172, and was looking for a low-priced ANR headset, or a good passive headset. I'm presently using a Flightcom 4DX, but was looking to invest in something better. My options are Peltors Passive, or the Lightspeed ANRs, 20XL or QFR Crosscountry. I...

Hi all... Sorry no posts lately...nothing new to say :) I've been lurking, tho! I have a Logitech Attack3 USB Joystick I no longer use. This a fairly basic joystick with 10 buttons + the trigger and one linear control for trim/throttle/etc. I used this for MSFS 2K & 04 during my IFR...

Great article from The Onion...Writer has to be a pilot or someone connected with aviation.... http://www.theonion.com/content/node/50901 John

Richard Riley opined I've been working with a conventionally configured helicopter for a few months and this suddenly started eating my brain. In a 2 rotor helicopter you are countering the torque of one rotor with the other rotor. But how do you do a pedal turn? In a coaxial I'd think...

Anyone know of a formula for determing the current bank angle, given the current velocity and rate of change in heading over a particular period of time? I was thinking of adding an artificial horizon to program that I'm working on and figured that by taking the current velocity as reported by the...

Here is my experience with the release version of Vista64 Ultimate so far as it relates to Jeppesen, FSX and also Garmin. Vista is available as a developer's subscription on Microsoft's MSDN right now. I downloaded Vista64 Ultimate from MSDN and installed it on a new machine I built. My old XP...

Hi, I'm interested in learning more about airplane construction, say maybe a Cessna 172. I know the basics of airframes and power plants, but what I'm having a hard time finding is actual diagrams and depictions of the actual assembly. For example, wing root connections, engine mounts,...

Every now and then we get a contentious, obnoxious know-it-all who in fact has only rudimentary knowledge of aviation. Past examples include the Fish Who Must Not Be Named, AcroBat, Skyloon, and others. There is at least one such haunting the aviation groups even now. The current guy is small...

'Spin Doctor' Bill Kershner dies at 77 Pilot, flight instructor, and aviation author William K. Kershner, 77, died January 8 in Sewanee, Tennessee, after a prolonged battle with cancer. He soloed an Aeronca Defender from Clarksville, Tennessee's Outlaw Field - a grass strip at the time - in 1945...

Who's flown to Mardi Gras, New Orleans? Which airport, where did you stay, how did you get around? Would you go again? Why? Why not? Thanks! Jim

Tried both the DC X11 and the Bose over a 15 hour holiday trip. Short version: The DC got returned and I'm keeping the Bose. It wasn't a tough call in my mind. Longer version: I've had a DC H10-80 for 17 years now. About 10 years ago I had Headsets Inc add their ANR kit to it. That all...

I spent many a long hour with Kershner while I was a student pilot. My copy is so ragged looking it's embarrassing. I actually spent an hour on the phone with him when he called the museum asking to donate copies of his Private Pilot Manual to the education department. He was really...
