I have been flying with the SPA400N and working with Sigtronics since 1992. They are good folks to work with. You can call them up and talk to real people if you have a unique problem with installation or use. http://www.sigtronics.com/air/sport200.html At the bottom of the page you can download PDF files which are the installation instructions and diagrams for many different radios to include handhelds like most of us use.

I tried the K&N filter cleaning fluid, soak and water, and was never happy with the results. Right or wrong, have been washing my K&N filters with gasoline. Let them air dry. Oil with K&N filter oil for cotton filters, let the soak over night, and put them back on the airplane. Be careful when you purchase filter oil. First trip to Alaska I could not find the correct K&N oil, so settled for K&N foam air filter oil.

Mild solution of dishwashing detergent in warm water, and I add to this a few drops of alcohol. Same solution works great to clean windows.

My plan is to depart Thursday morning (17 May). Monument Valley is approx 300 air miles from Albuquerque. It would be great to join up with you guys as you fly up from El Paso. John Hauck plans to RON at my airport (Sandia East, 1N1) Wednesday night. Maybe he could join the gaggle as well, Thursday morning. Plus, a friend of mine is also planning to fly his Challenger up to MV to join our event. Easiest route for airplanes with 150-mile ranges (like mine) will be west from Albuquerque (following I-40), refuel at Grants or Gallup, then northwest via Window Rock to Chinle, AZ. Here, I plan to land and transfer 5 gal of fuel from my ferry tank to the main tanks. (There are no services at Chinle.) From Chinle, it is 85 miles to Gouldings. This route generally follows roads the whole way. It would be fun to fly the last 300 miles to Monument Valley as a flight of six little airplanes! Looking forward to seeing you all again ...

Hope you can make it. I have a doc's apt on Mon 16 Apr, so will not be able to depart Titus until morning of 17 Apr.

Most everyone I know uses Comtronics or Lynx for helmets with comm, but I was hoping there would be other (less expensive) options with good results. Anyone with experience with helmets w/ comm have any suggestions? (And, PLEASE name brand/model so I can find what it is you're talking about...)
