I am looking around some at the various radios, (handheld), intercoms, (portable) headsets, etc. What I am struggling with is what to look for in each and how/can they all be connected. I am interested in the Yeasu FTA-720 handheld and a simple 2 place portable intercom. (like the ACS sample) I am also looking into ANR type headsets.

From: "nightmare" I still have a setup that I used in the cub I owned 14 years ago. It s a yaesu hand held with a yaesu remote ptt switch that can be velcroed to your stick. One set of cables from the ptt has that unique (male) yaesu plug that goes to radio, and the other set of cables has the standard size female ends for your headset. For anr headset. Im going with the Bose qc2 or 15, and then add the microphone from www.uflymike.com . You can find the headsets on craigslist for less than 200 bucks usually and think the mike setup is another 250.00 . For less than 500 youve got a setup that would normally cost you1200 or so. Another neat setup I used while intructing in cubs was a ptt box that had a spring loaded three way switch. One way was for atc, the other was for the student and the spring loaded neutral position was off. Student had the same. The great part about it was that there was no finicky squelch. Your mike only became "hot" when the switch was activated. Someone else wired it but have lost contact with them. Maybe someone here with electrical knowledge could post a wiring diagram of it. -------- Paul Donahue Started 8-3-12 do not archive Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=412469#412469 ________________________________ Message 10 ____________________________________ Time: 03:49:43 PM PST US Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Handheld Radio, Portable Intercom...

I bought some of that and a small bottle of De-Solv-It, a citrus desolving solution. The Goof Off worked well, even for the Poly Brush but is going to take some time. Much better than MEK through. The De-Solv-It worked well with the masking tape but didn=92t touch the Poly Brush. Smelt nice though Oscar! Thanks for the response=92s looks like we have a solution (???) to the problem.

From: "BritishJim" I'll soon be tackling my build and have decided to start with the fin and rudder. Should I get the wood from A.S. or elsewhere? I'm just not sure how complete the A.S. 'kits' are. For example, their fin and rudder kit includes: 3 x 02-341 CAPSTRIP 3/4" X 1" 4 x 02-58114 CAPSTRIP 5/8" X 1-1/4" I know this doesn't include glue and other hardware, so what else is needed, aside from the above? I live very close to their Canadian HQ so have the luxury of being able to drive a short distance to pick everything up. Apologies if this seems like a remedial questions. It's all new!
