| Subject: | Re: Speakers for helmet installation |
[quote="rickofudall"]All, I fly a trike wearing a full face Shoei helmet. While
the helmet doesn't seal my ears like headphones it does cut down the noise considerably.
It also cuts out my ability to hear my radio so I want to put speakers
and a small mic in the helmet. I did this once before cannabalizing a Cobra
VOX family radio for hang gliding. I don't want to cannabalize my David Clarks
this time so the speakers and mic will be compatible with my hand held (a
Vertex). Mouser has lots of mylar diaphragm speakers of the right size and depth.
Can anyone recommend a particular speaker or mic cartridge that has worked
for you?

Have you tried bluetooth speakers? There are plenty of options so just get the
best one.

I have an old Cessna encoder made by Transcal and supplied by United Instruments
and would like to get the pinout for this unit.
The Cessna P/N is C744001-0102 and the United Instruments P/N is 5130-P2.
Thanks,
Fabricio

| Subject: | Re: Work bench cord clutter solution |
I received this power strip and here are some thoughts:
* It looks nicer and feels more solid than the ones I got from Harbor Freight and
Home Depot.
* Denser layout (plugs are closer together)
* Main disadvantage: The plugs are oriented lengthwise, meaning wall warts are
likely to cover up the next plug. The other two strips have that right.
I'm considering sending it back due to the plug orientation. The one from Harbor Freight is the least expensive, and in my opinion the nicest of the three: http://www.harborfreight.com/12-outlet-super-power-strip-96737.html Remember: there is always a 20% off coupon somewhere for HF.

Bob, I ordered this light now:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/221136934512?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
...and will report my findings after returning from a trip abroad in a few weeks.
This one had the most light output for the size I can fit into the cowling.
Thanks
Holger

| Subject: | 12v Battery Charge Warning Light |
Some weeks ago somebody cited this product
on eBay and wondered about potential utility
for things we do . . .
http://tinyurl.com/b67nflk
Calibration is accurate and behavior is
stable. There's no 'twitchy' behavior at
the switching points . . . no doubt
microprocessor based.
On the down side, it's not very bright. It would
need to be mounted in a shaded location and
preferably right in front of the pilot for
daytime visibility.
The annunciation flash rate is a bit fast
for ready interpretation 3 and 4 flashes.
In any case, this is a good value and
performs as advertised. I may mount the one
I have in my pickup truck.

Just received the 12-outlet part from Micro Center Online
($31 delivered). It has 'golden' orientation too and sufficiently
spaced so that wall warts will not compete for territory.

The strip received had receptacles turned 90 degrees
from the catalog picture.

Hi Holger,
I hope it works; that isn't a bad price for that power. However, it does
claim to be a 'flood' light. Got to wonder if it will have too wide a
spread to get enough throw to use as a landing light.

Not to rain on anyone's parade, but keep in mind that many wall warts now are oriented
the "correct" way which means that they may interfere on these two strips
(you can't win...).
The last three products I have purchased all have the wall warts oriented with
the long axis in parallel with the two prongs, unlike all the older ones I have.
And they are all switching regulator
versions rather than straight transformer designs.

Hi Charlie,
Good to hear from you! I wanted flood lights after seeing LED light
"shoot outs" posted somewhere. Tail dragger driver here, I need some
light on the runway edges. And at 40W LED, I hope the throw will be
adequate. I'll let you know how they work out.
