(Greg Wrobel) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 01:25:59 PM PST US Subject: Yak-List: ANR Headset advice please? From: "Looigi" Hello All, Can I please ask the collective experience here for some advice? I am looking to buy an ANR headset to use in my Yak-52. I have narrowed my search down to the Lightspeed Zulu 3 or Zulu PFS. Has anyone had experience of these headsets in a Yak or CJ-6? I have only ever used the passive David Clark and ASA headsets. >From what I have read, the PFS has the better 'sound proofing' than the Zulu 3, but if the advertising is to be believed I am concerned that I won't be able to hear the engine if (when) it goes bad. Can you judge airspeed by the wind noise when you are wearing one of these? I am thinking the 3 is fine, but for another $200 I can get the latest and greatest..... Is is $200 wasted or invested? I am also thinking of one of the flying helmets that Gibson & Barnes do for these headsets so it doesn't fall off during aero's. Has anyone tried one of these? Thank you in advance for your advice and comments.

From: "jay-dub" Id be more concerned about your head protection. If you wear a chute, you need a dome. In short, buy a Gentex or an Alpha (or MSA Gallet if youre feeling particularly rich) and get a set of CEP-USA earplugs. Better than ANR and your brain remains in the original container following the impact. -------- CJ and Yak-52 owner Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=476795#476795 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 01:35:28 PM PST US From: Frank Stelwagon Subject: Yak-List: Re: headsets Dont worry about hearing the engine, learn to feel it and everything else happening to the aircraft.

From: "Looigi" Haha, I am hearing you Jay. The unfortunate thing is that I am 6'4" tall and there isn't enough room for me to wear a helmet under the canopy. I tried it once and spent the whole time banging my head on the canopy everytime we hit a bump. Also, without wanting to start another debate, we don't have parachutes in our plane.

From: "jay-dub" >From everything I read, you Kiwis invented adrenalin so if thats what floats your boat. [Wink] Its fair to say the -52 was built for your slightly shorter Russian. The CJ is better as you can drop the seat (in the front anyway) and the Malcolm hood is available for those less vertically challenged. No experience of Lightspeeds Im afraid. I know a lot of people who rave aboute the Bose A20 though. Good luck in your quest and do some helmet research. There are some small lightweight options out there which could work with a Clarity Aloft for example. -------- CJ and Yak-52 owner Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=476801#476801 ________________________________ Message 8 _____________________________________ Time: 02:43:39 PM PST US From: Jon Boede Subject: Re: Yak-List: ANR Headset advice please?
