I have tried cutting the thumbs off all motor bike gloves and punching holes in , in line with the mic element. With a normal 3mm thick muff under neath. Didn't work

I then took a foam rubber pot scourer and shaped it on a belt sander and drilled a hole down the centre and placed this over the leather boot. Didn't work

I then bought wind muffs that musicians use that are made for mike assemblies much larger than what we need. Didn't work

I tried 2 wind muffs over the whole caboodel and finally started to get some where.

I took it all apart and blocked the forward facing hole in the leather boot with tape and reassembled the whole lot and it .... you guessed it, didn't work it was worse

I have tied Sennheiser S1 Digital a Sennheiser S1 passive and no luck.

So as a trike pilot I am happy to share my tale of woe and if any body can help I am also looking for a solution

G'dayI have recently purchased a helmet and changed my Zulu headset to be for my pax but I have been having issues when flying doors off with the mics opening constantly with the wind even though they are adjusted as far as possible for squelch/sensitivity. I was wondering where I can find some thick foam covers? I did make some out of some foam I had handy but they barely helped.

 

The Zulus aren't as bad as the helmet but are still annoying.

 

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as long as they don't include "put the doors back on" or "pull the plugs out"

I have done exactly that and very happy with the results.

My only problem is electrical noise clicking over the radio from the relays. I was to lazy to fit capacitors on the relay contacts to catch the arc made by the d.c. when the contacts opened. I should have also fitted diodes to the relay coils to stop any back emf when the coil de-energized. Picture shows my game joy stick I got from a pawn shop for a few $

Wing upgrades

The road so far !...................... sorry Winchester's I could not resist that LOL

I could not get the new strut connectors to fit in the old existing struts the new ones are 27mm OD and the old ones 25.8mm

I could buy new struts and more strut ends or modify the existing ones. Modifying would save all the extra work of cutting and drilling struts and the expense

What do you think ?

how do I upload pics ?

I am busy with the upgrade would u like some photos ? [email protected]

Cant spell ,,, I left my self open to those

Good one guys ! I left my self open those....lol

Hi before I re-assemble please give me some ideas to improve or up-grade ??

Hi all. Compliments of the season to you.

Re the rising oil level..... In my motor biking days I always looked at the gearbox level before riding. The small round glass window on the clutch cover had a top and bottom line marked. If the oil level rose from center to upper line I knew that the needle and seat in the carb was leaking and petrol was flowing down the carb rubbers past the rings in to the sump. Bikes to day have a vacuum petrol tap so you cannot rotate the tap to the off position.

I also fill up with petrol before the pre-flight, my thinking is by the time I get to the fuel check which is usually the last thing I check, I'm guessing that any water by then would have had time to settle to the drain.

Thank you Sir.

Hi can we call it a barn find ????? LOL...

Dear Kyle. I have recently purchased a Savannah from a fellow in East London. S Africa. Its needs some TLC and a new paint job.

Other wise its in good condition and will entertain me while I fix it up to my standards. I imagine it was built at the Savannah Factory in East London, when I go dismantle the plane to trailer it back to Johannesburg where I live I will need a manual of sorts to see how to dismantle the wings.

Please could you email the manual that you gave to David ?

Best regards and thanks in Advance
