    Altitude Compensation Hiya I hail from the coast in South Africa (Durban) there are many 503/582 motors flying here. As you may know Johannesburg is 6,000 ft above sea level. Without exception all owners that migrate to the coast change jets on arrival. Maybe post a thread in technical talk microlighters.co.za and advise your altitudes and you will get all the answers in fine detail. Also you will get other altitude power sapping mods the guys do. I fly a HKS which has altitude compensating carbs (same as 912). Good Luck ZULU1

    Icom ICA 3/22 series I manufacture intercoms and headsets in SA, we use the entire Icom range and Vertex standard here for trike usage. The main reson being no requirements for Radio station licences. They all perform well. The Jabiru motor as correctly quoted emits horrible "electrical noise" and should you be operating your handheld from the supply (top socket) then it is desirable to install aregulator line choke arrangement. The ICA 22 will state an error message if over 15 vdc. If you use a standard headset as you advise it will not perform well as your installation without a microphone pre amp. We fit them for our PPG customers. Obviously an external antenna goes without saying and a rf bead looped in the cable to the radio from the headset intercom assembly will reduce rf ingeress. As Michael advises the BNC cable on the external antenna is critical. All in all we use them (including the ICA6/24 series) without an real problems. Good Luck Paul ZULU1

    Hiya I personally dont like digital instruments but this kit is analogue on digital, I know that they are reasonably priced here (about ZAR 13-14k) and there are other toys that may be of interest in the range such as Ultra..I think he had a fascination with Bletchley Park..and hes a German !!

    Take a look at MGL Avionics "enigma" system from South Africa, it features all of the above and a moving map GPS. Made by Rainier Lamers in Cape Town. Unsure if its available in Australia yet. Type in MGL "enigma". Cheers Paul

    Len Birger is our Oz agent, and he is assembling locally our brand Air Magic (South African) and he should be able to help. Contact him on : Len Birger microfly@bigpond.net.au Our kit is made for the open cockpit environment unlike the European sourced products. We make helmets, intercoms with auto time muting music as well as our new products have remote PTTs for PPg pilots. ZULU1
