I'm compiling a builder's roundup for Kitplanes magazine, and am looking for an installation that's flown for a minimum of 300 hours, and is currently flying. Also, we will not address any rotary engines, since a separate article will cover those engines. For the builders that we profile, the magazine will also be able to pay you $100 for the write-up. I'll be at Sun 'n Fun until late morning on Friday (April 7), so if you fly in, I'd be happy to take the photos there. If not, we would also need at least 2-3 good photos, including a close-up of the engine and an overall shot of the aircraft. Additional photos would be great, and all photos will be returned. If you have digital photos, it is very important that they be high-resolution, at least 300 dpi. I have a list of specific areas to address if you'd like to participate, but we can handle that off-line. Please feel free to contact me off-line at: bootless (at) earthlink (dot) net (my despammed email address). Thank you so much! best, Cory Emberson Contributing Editor Kitplanes Magazine ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 06:07:13 PM PST US From: AMERIPOND@cs.com Subject: Homebuilt-List: Low impedance or dynamic Mic --> Homebuilt-List message posted by: AMERIPOND@cs.com Hey Guys: I just purchased an Icom IC a200 for my Exp.Helo and the manual says;: if one uses a dynamic mic, a preamp is required... the mics(headsets) I see in AC spruce and larceny are dynamic ...do they have built in preamps or am I barking up the wrong tree..and need to look further???
