| Subject: | Lightspeed Zulu 2 and PFX in the RV-10 |
I have 2 pairs A10 and 2 pairs A20=99s. The A20=99s are
better than the 10=9Ds. I have tried Zulu 2=99s a couple
times but always liked the Bose.
So we did a direct comparison in another RV-10 and they had Lightspeed
Zulu 2=99s. We were flying along for about 20 minutes. He with his
Zulu 2 and Myself with the A20. We swapped and flew for 10 minutes or so
and we then gave our thoughts. We both felt the Bose was superior to the
lightspeed. AS for comfort I dislike the Zulu=99s it=99s
just not comfortable for me. I can fly 6-7 hours with the Bose and not
even realize I have them on. I think the fit and Comfort for each
individual is different but as for noise reduction and quality I feel
the Bose are superior. As for the service from Bose they have been
excellent. I take my in at Oshkosh every year and they have check them
and replaced items at no cost that they feel Need attention.
With my A20=99s on and no sunglasses you can almost not hear my
engine at cruise they are that quite. It took me a while to get use to
that.
FWIW
Buy what you want and feel comfortable in. They all work

Subject: RV10-List: Lightspeed Zulu 2 and PFX in the RV-10
Last time I bought a headset, I compared the Bose A20 ad Lightspeed Zulu
2, and the Zulu 2 had substantially worse Bose A20 noise reduction. I
need a new headset again, so I bought the Zulu PFX and flew with it the
other night. The PFX also has substantially worse noise reduction than
the A20. My A20 isn't quite comfortable on long flights, which I why I
keep trying alternatives.
Has anyone else compared the A20 to the Lightspeed headsets head-to-head
in the RV-10 and have a similar result? People generally seem to prefer
one over the other slightly, but the difference is huge in my
experience, which makes me think something else is going on (or I'm just
weird).

Thanks, everyone. I just ordered the AKG and will try that, then make a
decision.
I actually already have a set of QT Halos. Very comfortable, but the noise
reduction isn't nearly as good as my A20s. The in-the-ear design is
ineffective in blocking low frequencies, in my experience.

Hi
I have been meaning to wade in on this. IN my PA28 I used DC 13.4 that had the
Headsets Inc ANR retrofit,. Something that I liked. Then at KOSH I tried the Clarity
Aloft and the QuietTechnologies Halo headsets.
I liked the Halos best as there were no wires going to the ears buds. They are
very quiet as well. I have been using them for a couple of years and am happy
with the choice.
>From a comfort perspective, it is nice not having a thick padded band on top of
my head. And they weight almost nothing at all so the comfort factor is high.
This means I don't have to keep taking the buttons off the top of ball caps
as well!
If you are at KOSH, I suggest you demo a pair at the QT booth.
The halo ear buds take a bit of practice to get the fit right but I found them
well worth the effort.
Cheers
Les
PS: I have never tried the Zulus or Bose headsets - they were a bit too spendy
for me. YMMV

| Subject: | Rear Heat SCAT Tube Routing |
After a very long break, I have started working on building my RV10
again. I am working on fixing some of the things I don't like about how
that came out. One is how the rear heat scat tube is routed around my
fuel valve and over the wing spar.
I have two possible solutions.
One is to reduce to a 1 or 1-1/2" tube. Those that fly in the cold
north, do you think you would still get enough heat to the back
passengers with a 1" tube?
The second is to construct a fiberglass duct to route around the problem
areas. Is the hot air from the heater valve hot enough to cause
problems with a duct constructed of glass and west epoxy?

Larry
The heat is plenty hot that when we use it it has been about 1-10th of open, so
smaller tubing would work fine
I have a Fiberglass plenum over my engine and there is no issue, so I can not imagine
it would be an issue. I used Aeropoxy slow cure and that is rated for hotter
temps, sure west marine has a higher temp resin as well.
Best of success
