Jimmie,
Congratulations on your new purchase. There are cannon to Mono plug
adapters. Your larger audio stores may carry it. Maybe even Radio Shack. Or
you can order on-line. Just enter Bose Plug adapter into Google and you will
get some hits. For sure Bose will have the adapters, so you should also
check with a Bose headset dealer.
Those headsets are QUITE expensive too.

I just bought a Model IV today and got two Bose headsets both of which have
cannon plug connectors. The airplane has the standard headset jacks and the
cannon connector receptacles. Anyone know why Bose uses the cannon plug
type connectors? Wonder if they make a converter cable so that I could use
these headsets in an airplane that only has the standard jacks.

Aha! Thanks John, then I stand corrected and Robert's question makes much more
sense.
I guess that if these guys want you to report your altitude, it is because the
area is covered by a radar and then I would conclude that yes, it is a controlled
airspace.
Cheers,
Michel

Thanks ... dad! :-) I have seen a Eurocub with a nasty rudder damage, it was ugly
enough. I will reenforce my tail spring as soon as I have installed the Jabiru.
Will be part of the final W&B calculation.

Hello Jimmie:
The plug/jack configuration of the first two generation Bose headsets is of
the unconventional type because they not only have connections for mike and
audio but also provide power for the noise-canceling circuitry. Bose does
make an adapter to let your headsets function properly when plugged into
standard JJ-033 and JJ-034 jacks. This adapter includes a compartment for AA
batteries to power the noise canceling feature

Gary, at 1200 lbs what is your payload? I guess an alternate question is,
what is your empty weight in the Speedster configuration?

the aircraft has a gross weight of 1200 lbs as prescribed by skystar and
that is what is written in my airworthiness forms. So conceivably my
aircraft meet the LSA weight limit in the speedster configuration.

Yes, The shut down is easier then the startup. Just run the engine up to about
3000 RPM's cut both of the ignitions and pull the power back to idle. Smooth as
silk. Clint

Don,
Did you mean that the reordered plug wire from Rotax/CPS had the same amount of
copper as the original plug wire or the same amount as the Spruce wire? In other
words, which do you recommend?

Dave,
Been there and done that. The wires at the plugs screw in. The wires at
the coil end just pushes in. The center wire in the coil is not threaded
like on the plug ends. You must use a locktite type adhesive (forget the
name/number) for the coil end. That is why you are seeing a resistance unscrewing
the coil end of the wire. They are glued in. I used a small jewelers screw
driver and forced it all around the edges to loosen the glue. Take your time
and
work them out slowly to prevent breaking the center coil wire.
I bought Rotax replacement plug wire from Spruce and received something
that had very little copper compared to the original Rotax wire. Re-ordered
from CPS and got the actual replacement wire (same amount of copper).

Dave,
Sorry I messed that up. The wires from CPS had the same amount of copper
as the original Rotax wire. Buy from CPS. The Spruce wire had almost "NO"
copper in it. Real cheapo stuff.

Michel,
Yes, I agree. If you fly through Class B or C controlled airspace and your transponder
stops putting out altitude, they make you report all altitude changes.
That is assuming that your transponder is still squawking the designated code.

Dear Lister,
Please read over the Kitfox-List Usage Guidelines below. The complete
Kitfox-List FAQ including these Usage Guidelines can be found at the
following URL:
http://www.matronics.com/FAQs/Kitfox-List.FAQ.html
Thank you,

******************************************************************************
Kitfox-List Usage Guidelines
******************************************************************************
The following details the official Usage Guidelines for the Kitfox-List.
You are encouraged to read it carefully, and to abide by the rules therein.
Failure to use the Kitfox-List in the manner described below may result
in the removal of the subscribers from the List.
Kitfox-List Policy Statement
The purpose of the Kitfox-List is to provide a forum of discussion for
things related to this particular discussion group. The List's goals
are to serve as an information resource to its members; to deliver
high-quality content; to provide moral support; to foster camaraderie
among its members; and to support safe operation. Reaching these goals
requires the participation and cooperation of each and every member of
the List. To this end, the following guidelines have been established:
- Please keep all posts related to the List at some level. Do not submit
posts concerning computer viruses, urban legends, random humor, long
lost buddies' phone numbers, etc. etc.
- THINK carefully before you write. Ask yourself if your post will be
relevant to everyone. If you have to wonder about that, DON'T send it.
- Remember that your post will be included for posterity in an archive
that is growing in size at an extraordinary rate. Try to be concise and
terse in your posts. Avoid overly wordy and lengthy posts and
responses.
- Keep your signature brief. Please include your name, email address,
aircraft type/tail number, and geographic location. A short line
about where you are in the building process is also nice. Avoid
bulky signatures with character graphics; they consume unnecessary
space in the archive.
- DON'T post requests to the List for information when that info is
easily obtainable from other widely available sources. Consult the
web page or FAQ first.
- If you want to respond to a post, DO keep the "Subject:" line of
your response the same as that of the original post. This makes it
easy to find threads in the archive.
- When responding, NEVER quote the *entire* original post in your
response. DO use lines from the original post to help "tune in" the
reader to the topic at hand, but be selective. The impact that
quoting the entire original post has on the size of the archive
can not be overstated!
- When the poster asks you to respond to him/her personally, DO NOT
then go ahead and reply to the List. Be aware that clicking the
"reply" button on your mail package does not necessarily send your
response to the original poster. You might have to actively address
your response with the original poster's email address.
- DO NOT use the List to respond to a post unless you have something
to add that is relevant and has a broad appeal. "Way to go!", "I
agree", and "Congratulations" are all responses that are better sent
to the original poster directly, rather than to the List at large.
- When responding to others' posts, avoid the feeling that you need to
comment on every last point in their posts, unless you can truly
contribute something valuable.
- Feel free to disagree with other viewpoints, BUT keep your tone
polite and respectful. Don't make snide comments, personally attack
other listers, or take the moral high ground on an obviously
controversial issue. This will only cause a pointless debate that
will hurt feelings, waste bandwidth and resolve nothing.
