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?

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.

Thanks Holger ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 04:53:21 PM PST US From: "Robert L. Nuckolls, III" Subject: AeroElectric-List: 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.

It has 'golden' orientation too and sufficiently spaced so that wall warts will not compete for territory. http://tinyurl.com/c54mcvh The strip received had receptacles turned 90 degrees from the catalog picture.

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. Charlie ________________________________ Message 8 _____________________________________ Time: 08:07:22 PM PST US From: "Richard E. Tasker" Subject: Re: AeroElectric-List: Re: Work bench cord clutter solution 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. Dick Tasker Robert L.

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.
