Is anyone out there using the Microair 760 VHF transreciever? If so, Are you
using their intercom system, and if you are, are you happy with it? I am
trying to decide whether I should use it or install a different intercom
system.
Thanks in advance for your comments.

I am just finishing my empennage kit. A friend suggested that I begin to think
and plan about the routing and placement of all the antennas at this time.
I would appreciate any comments from other builders in regards on what works best
and where.
Thanks.

Just yesterday I heard the news that Phil Arter had died. Someone on
another RV-8 list had posted it, and today it occurred to me that some
on this list hadn't heard.
I feel compelled to say something about Phil. For many of you
builders, the name doesn't even ring a bell. For some, however, it
represents a much larger loss.
When I made The Big Decision and ordered my empennage kit, one of the
first sites I stumbled across in my research on the RV-8 was Phil
Arter's website. I'd not met the man, but through his site I was able
to look through a window in his shop and see exactly how a plane is
built. Today there are many such sites, some of which technically put
Phil's to shame. However, it was all the inspiration I needed to take
the plunge.
Many of you have been excellent mentors to the rest of us. Danny King
and Brian Denk are great examples of builders who faithfully, honestly
and sacrificially give of their time and talent to answer dumb questions
from the rest of us, even though they long ago forgot which part rivets
to the F-804 on the aft side and which primer should be used.
Phil was that kind of guy to many of us old timers. He had RV-8 kit
#5. Yeah, that's right -- single digit. Van's engineers were still
working out many, many design bugs at that point, and Phil probably
figured most of 'em out before they did.
I only met Phil on one occasion. We hooked up in the campground at
Oshkosh several years ago, and it was great to finally meet the guy who
had patiently answered so many really stupid e-mails over the preceeding
months! We sat around the campsite and chatted about planes, Colorado
and life. In the ensuing years, we never managed to meet again at
Oshkosh.
There are others who will be similarly compelled to fill in the gaps I
write about Phil Arter. When we're finished, there will still be much
to say about Phil, I'm sure. However, for the RV-8 community, there are
many who never even met him who owe him a debt of gratitude for his
inspiration and dedication, and that's a pretty darned good epitaph.
May I someday be so lucky...

Guys,
I also use the Micro-air, and absolutely love it!
Went with a seperate intercom,(PS Engineering)because the built in one is
"hot" all the time.
Methinks that would get old fast!
Range is outstanding, and crystal clear---a truly great little radio!

I am using it in my Ercoupe. You will need an intercom. The built in
intercom has no squelch. As a radio it works fine. I was concerned about the
small buttons in choppy air, it has not been a problem.
There is a company in AU (used to sell Microairs and got cut off for selling
outside AU) that is working on a copycat unit with more features like NAV
freqs, NOAA freqs and a true intercom. Only problem is that it is mono, so I
will still need an intercom for stereo.

Al,
I have installed the MA 760 in several aircraft now with and with out the
use of the supplied intercom. The supplied intercom is not going to make
99% of the people happy, in fact the customer that I installed the unit
using the built in intercom change to a panel mounted intercom.
I recommend and install the NAT AA85 or the DA80 also NAT. Very good
intercom on the upper end performance scale.
