Ray, I might be able to help you out. I have a bunch of spare "things" in stock left over from years of building and scrounging. What do you need? If God is your co-pilot...switch seats.

I have David Clark headsets and would like to use them. There are so many choices out there. What seems to be the best combination? I've been lurking but now would like to join in on the fun. I bought a project. I have rebuilt the model A engine and hope to cover in another month or so. Looking forward to flying to Brodhead next year.

It fits my David Clark's just fine. They custom make them to your specs. They ask for measurements and then make the helmet to fit. I like the way it came out. It seems like it was $55 or something in that ball park.

Oscar, Michael, Douwe, Do Piet builders ordinarily use turnbuckles on the stabilizers, or just cut the cable to fit and twist the cable to tension it? I was planning on using the short 6-40 thread turnbuckles there, but maybe it is not necessary? One could MAYBE avoid some drag, weight and airflow disruption by using just the cable? I will still need six more of the 10-32 thread 4.5" long barrels (AN 155-16S) each with cable ends (AN140 assembly) or one cable end and one pin eye end (AN135 assembly). There is no real hurry on these, I probably will not need them until I do the pre-covering rigging in maybe mid January. Thanks for your help.
