If you are really interested in safety, and want a flight suit, get a new
one.
The nomex in flight suits is perishable. After so many washings, or
wearings, the flame retardant is gone. Get one off of E-bay, or surplus,
and you dont know what youve got.
Spend the $99 at flight suits. Or, if you can tolerate looking different,
the Sportsmans Wearhouse had a huge stock of new surplus German AF
flightsuits a while back. The sizes are limited, but from a safety aspect
they work, and they were only about $40

Actually, there are a couple of specific businesses dealing in used
flight suits... The one I deal with and send my customers to is
www.usedflightsuit.com. There are others if you want to do your own
shopping, but we've found them to be priced right and the suits are
in good shape. The "A" grade suits are about $60.
As for FAST requirements...the RPA has a list of required and
recommended equipment. Check here for a list and many other useful
FAST documents...

Good luck and welcome to what the T-28 guys at Desert Thunder III
said is "the most professional and fun bunch of guys we've ever flown
with"....

You can go ahead and order brand new ones at $188US a pop at
flightsuits.com. A better idea, go to ebay and get a used one at a
fraction of the cost along with gloves a lower prices.
Used or new they have about the same level of protection.

Brian and I are still waiting delivery of our CJ6-A from VAM, should
be a week or so now just waiting for Transport Canada inspection. We are
looking for general advice regarding the purchase of flight suits and
gloves from a safety aspect and of course looks! What are the FAST
requirements? Any advice would be helpful including a reliable source.
Thanks,

boy, i hate to bring this horse back to life... the flame-retardent qualities
cannot be washed or worn out of Nomex. check out the Dupont websites on the matter.
a $10 ebay suit is just fine as long as you don't mind the ink stains,
rips and patch remnants.

| Subject: | Matronics Email List Fund Raiser - November! |
--> Yak-List message posted by: Matt Dralle <dralle@matronics.com>
Dear Listers,
Each November I hold a PBS-like fund raiser to support the continued operation
and upgrade of the List services at Matronics. It's through these sole Contributions
of List members that these Matronics Lists are possible.
You have probably noticed that there are no banner ads or pop-up windows on any of the Matronics Lists or related web sites such as the Forums site ( http://forums.matronics.com ), Wiki site ( http://wiki.matronics.com ), or other related pages such as the List Search Engine ( http://www.matornics.com/search ), List Browse ( http://www.matornics.com/listbrowse ), etc. This is because I believe in a List experience that is completely about the sport we all enjoy - namely Airplanes and not about annoying advertisments.
During the month of November I will be sending out List messages every few days
reminding everyone that the Fund Raiser is underway. Each message will generally
highlight a particular feature or benefit of the Matronics Lists or detail
a new feature or service that was added this year. I ask for your patience
and understanding during the Fund Raiser and throughout these regular messages.
The Fund Raiser is only financial support mechanism I have to pay all of the
bills associated with running these lists.
Once again, this year I've got a terrific line up of free gifts to go along with
the various Contribution levels. Most all of these gifts have been provided
by some of the vary members and vendors that you'll find on Matronics Lists and
have been either donated or provided at substantially discounted rates.
This year, these generous people include Bob Nuckolls of the AeroElectric Connection (http://www.aeroelectric.com/), Paul Besing of Aeroware Enterprises aka Kitlog Pro (http://www.kitlog.com/), Andy Gold of the Builder's Bookstore (http://www.buildersbooks.com/), and Jon Croke of HomebuiltHELP (http://www.homebuilthelp.com/).
These are extremely generous guys and I encourage you to visit their respective
web sites. Each one offers a unique and very useful aviation-related product
line. I would like publicly to thank Bob, Paul, Andy, and Jon for their generous
support of the Lists again this year!!
You can make your List Contribution using any one of three secure methods this
year including using a credit card, PayPal, or by personal check. All three methods
afford you the opportunity to select one of this year's free gifts with
a qualifying Contribution amount!!
To make your Contribution, please visit the secure site below:
https://www.matronics.com/contribution
I would like to thank everyone in advance for their generous financial AND moral
support over the years. I know it sounds a little cliche, but you guys really
do feel like family.
Thank you for your support!
