  1. I have tested them separately and have a swtch  to change from  radio 1 to radio 2  same result transmit icon ok, sidetone ok and icon for receive shows but no sound have tried both radios on i at a time same result 

    methinks it could only be in my mic sockets , will try that 

     

  2. NO,i did it myself and it all bells out for continuity, sidetone is ok, send ok(radio checks from local frequency) but still no receive sound ,the receive icon comes up on radio , i will just have too go through wiring diagrams again , also have a flightcom intercom fitted so will isolate that and see the response 

     Cheers gareth

  3. 1990 working at the submarine base in Sydney, ladder broke in half as i climbed up to do some welding on abeam, fell 6 metres broke my hip, had insurance which kicked in at 6 weeks ,i was then on crutches, they then "deemed " me fit for other work , what as i say ,oh desk work, they say fxxking parasites ,read the small print ,i then put that money away for the next 20 years ,and this is what now funds my flying build 

    also my wife was pregnant with our twins but during the pregnancy wifey experienced indimitiosis and the health insurer didnt want to pay took them to the health ombudsman and won ,after the kids were born "that cost them a bomb in private ,2 weeks in St Margarets" then cancelled our insurance , now have none other than house and car Fxxking parasites are all insurers

    That's (Sadly) believable. But in an unbelievable twist, I ordered a 'Candoo programmer' last week (it's like a car's OBD reader but for jetskis & boats) in its' 3kg briefcase-sized Pelican case from Tampa, Florida. Shipping to NSW was just $35USD and took precisely one week! I had it in the hangar only an hour or two short of 7 days since I ordered it online. I thought for sure there'd be extras or their website was wrong, but nope. Just $35 shipping and it arrived on Tuesday morning.

    Then again, try ordering an A4 padded envelope of knickknacks from Spruce or Vans and you'll be in for an unpleasant surprise! To ship, for example, 125 AN365 nuts (50 -832, 50 10-32 and 25 624) from California using Fedex International Economy(the same shipping method my Candoo used) will be $236 USD! For 125 small nuts in a padded envelope! Even reducing it to just one nut it is still $236USD. WTF?!?

    Try aeroparts Beaconsfield they have most bolts and nuts and costs only Aus post costs IE 400 solid rivets cost 8.65 for post 2 day delivery

  6. Correction " Confor"  is 30mm shock absorbing  foam  cut to my dimensions approx 480x600 for seat layered with memory foam to 75 thickness overall height of seat bottom cushion as for the back i am getting contoured similair to the subaru seat but not as high 1 quote here was about 1000$ to recover with my foam shapes in cloth have since been told of a retired chap who for cash does at a much better price and in faux leather and as for getting size for visibility its the same as the RV6a that i owned except for the back, i will let you know how i go with the upholsterer cost ( we might get a better deal for 2 sets ) cheers gareth
