Check the diverter valve that allows emergency air to the flap system.

Jim:
SeaFest 2004 is just around the corner - scheduled for March 26th, 27th & 28th.
This is the 22nd annual celebration of SeaFest, and once again, we have been
rated in the top twenty list for festivals in the Southeastern United States.
SeaFest is based at the Port Canaveral facilities near the Disney cruise terminals
(convenient to KTIX or KCOI).
Instrumental in making many of the prosperous changes in the Brevard County community,
The Cocoa Beach Area Chamber of Commerce conducts SeaFest as its annual
fund raising event. This family event draws nearly 75,000 people to carnival
rides, attractions and seafood galore.
SeaFest 2004 would like to have a "formation flyby" participate as one of our attractions.
The potential exists for advertisement recognition and other possible
rewards. This would be a great opportunity for the YPA/RPA to show off their
stuff!!
Please contact me for more details - I hope that you are able to contribute to
our grand event.

Folks,
Getting a few e-mails on this:
if you are a member who was on the associations membership database, you are in
the system: follow the initial login instructions on the home page - super simple,
just insure the first letter of both fields is upper case (its case sensative).
Then send your RC a unique password if you like.
IF YOU GET A OVERDUE mesaage, your membership expired in the 4th quarter of 2003,
just hit the registration button next to login, or "Become a member" botton
on the left,
Drew

I'm looking for recommendations on ANR headsets. Today I
tested my new PS Engineering audio panel/intercom (PMA4000)
with different systems. The test included full power with
canopies back as well as closed canopies at modest power
settings. In all cases nearby ATC was monitored and they
also provided radio checks...loud and clear. Radio is a
KY-96A.
My Blackhawk 5DX with digital signal processor is marginal
in wind control and was never compatible with the old
Sigtronics SPN400 intercom. The Bose ANR in both cockpits
produced acceptable results, not exceptional, just
acceptable and I tried both ANR off as well as on. Not
really impressive when "on", but better than "off".
My civilianized helmet (FULL Oregon Aero) with Sigtronics
mic could use an ANR upgrade also but what will fit an
HGU-55 and still get good results. I'm leaning to Lightspeed
but which one? I don't have a lot of canopy clearance so the
QFRXC2 with strong passive and moderate ANR might be the
ticket.
Experiences?

2003!!!!!
--> Yak-List message posted by: "Mark Schrick" <schrick@pacbell.net>
Craig,
Look into DRE 6000 headsets. ANR headsets for under $280 each. They have the
best attenuation (-29dB) of any headset. I use them when not using my HGU-68
helmet. Oregon Aero has ear seals for them also if you wish for additional
comfort. They can be found on the web:
http://www.drecomm.com/prodsvs.htm
or direct: sales@drecomm.com
They have just designed a new military version DRE-6000m and DRE-6500M. Both
are Consumer Avionics "best buy" of 2003. Look them up. The owners name is
Rod De Reyes. His stereo intercoms are standard equipment in the new YAK
52TW if stereo is requested. He knows YAKs and the noise environment.
Good luck
Mark Schrick

Great Intro, Drew... "Now we own their aircraft."
My friend likes to say, "Spoils of the Cold War -- We beat them up and

Hi Craig,
I have the Lightspeed 20XL and they work fine. They use AA batteries and
last a long time with auto shut off. They are very comfortable and work
great in the CJ and my louder chipmunk. They are not particularly good when
turned off. I haven't tried their more expensive models. I have no problem
with head clearance on the canopy.
Good Luck
Jim Griffin

Craig:
Re ANR headsets. I am not fully up to speed on this info, but I
have the Lightspeed 20X's, which I LOVE for their comfort and
sophistication. However, I loaned mine to a friend to try out in his
open-cockpit IO-540 Skybolt, and there they were a failure---too much
noise to cancel, and Lightspeed factory confirmed this.
There is also a light background "hum" in them in the
noise-cancelling mode, and while I am not bothered by this at all, (it
is a heck of a lot less obvious to me than the normal noise), one of my
airline pilot friends says it drives him to distraction, and he won't
use them.
Best advice I can possibly give is to try to find friends that
have whatever you want to experiment with, and borrow them so you can
try them out in person, in your plane. I will say that over the years, I
have been VERY impressed with the excellent support by Lightspeed, and
their complete honesty in just how and where they know their headsets
work or don't work.
