Hi All
A Question about Boom Mics. Why are they always mounted on the right
side of the cockpit? Is there any reason for not being able to mount
them on the Left side.
Thanks

Just a guess, but in the cramped cockpit, it's easier to cross your
opposite hand over to the mic than having it on the same side as the
adjusting hand. The right hand is usually busy holding the control
stick, so that leaves the left hand to adjust the boom.

Some gliders have electrics etc. running along an accessible panel-
covered channel on the right side of the cockpit.

Most single seat gliders that have hinged canopies have hinge on
right. You are more likely to get hung up on the mike if it
is on the left. Obviously tilt up canopies are symetrical.
Interestingly, I rarely see people getting in and out of either from
the right.
But then maybe the mike is in the way.
Schweizer gliders are left hinged and mikes are usaully on that side,
so the convention seems to follow.

yep i have an "American" glider which hinges from the left so I
mounted my boom mike on the left. Funny, I'm pretty sure that when
I've flown Leah's Cherokee (which has a totally removable canopy a la
Ka 6) I've still entered from the right as is my habit.

I've sometimes wondered why a highly directional mike couldn't be
mounted in the instrument panel which would be completely out of
harm's way.

Funny, I have a German glider with a removable canopy, yet I always
enter from the left - must be a bad habit I picked up from towing...

Don't have a boom mike, but I always wear my headset on the right...

I think I'd like that, though I'd have to use another microphone while
the engine was running.

Are there any Bluetooth headsets/microphone to radio adapters? I liked
the Plantronics mike that clipped to my sunglasses, but I didn't like be
wired to the glider.

Also funny, my canopy hinges at the rear, yet I also always get in
from the the left.... and same with my motorcycles, and horses, oh
wait, I don't ride horses... never mind.
