Just curious about posts early last month regarding someone bringing scales for
a mass weigh-in at Brodhead. Did it happen?

after reading the posts about the fly-bys at Brodhead I am wondering how hard it
is to hear radio traffic if you wear headsets in these things. I am sure a lot
og guys don't use radios but I plan on having a handheld in mine when I'm flying
into strange of congested airports and I just use an old hushacom headset.
it is difficult to hear much and impossible to talk over it unless I throttle
back in my 2 stroke Challenger-it wasn't that bad in the old Tri-pacer.and
since I have short stacks on the Corvair running out the sides it may be as bad.but
wondering how many of you actually can hear radio transmissions in these
planes without throttling back? Raymond

As long as you keep your head behind the wind screen or shield and crouch a
=0Alittle lower you can hear and talk.I use a hand held with a push to tal
k =0Abutton-and I have-the radio-hung by a bracket at my right side j
ust inside the =0Acockpit.One day I almost lost the earphones because I put
it on after I had put =0Athe goggles on instead of the other way around.I
find the goggles hold them on =0Avery nicely but stick your head around the
windshield and everything tries to =0Acome off.Learn as you go.=0A=0A=0A

In my experience a good leather helmet to go with your headset makes a
difference. I don't have a shielded harness on my ignition system, but
I can still hear radio transmissions OK with my handheld. I have just 4
straight stacks, 12 inches long. As Harvey said, it also helps a lot to
stay low behind your windshield (why Bernard built the seat backs so
upright), and sometimes I cup my hand over the microphone when
transmitting just to keep the wind noise down on my transmissions.

Thanks that's good to know. I'm hoping that the Corvair engine might not create
as much radio interference because of the carbon plug wires but time will tell.I
expect the prop blast pretty much cancels out the exhaust noise in the cockpit.I
sure hope to get first hand experience in a couple of months.I got a few
more small items knocked out today.gotta make a better carb heat muff for the
exhaust because I didn't leave a lot of room when I made my cowling but once
that's done and a few more small items.I should be ready to pull the wings off
and take it to the hangar and start final assembly. Raymond
