    Faro headset vs Halo headset

    I got a Halo set for my wife. She loves them. I tried them and thought, dang... these are better than any thing I have. I had tried a CA set but one of the wires pulled out and one side didn't work. I guess they would be OK if you babied them but I like how Halo has the tube carrying the...

    AOPA article just published

    I have gotten to the point of hating myself when I click on this guys threads. Thing is: I might put one of these in my plane one day but it won't be from him. Don't know why, just is.

    Time to Step Up to a Faster Plane?

    My story is similar but different. I lost my wife of 28 years back 2008. This girl found me and her son-in-law turned me on to flying. I now have a Cherokee and I bought a Mooney this past week. I have no idea if I am ready, just over 100 hrs total. But I couldn't pass up this deal on the...

    Dog on a plane

    You simply cannot detect hearing loss until its' too late. Agreed, don't be that guy! My grandfather was nearly deaf from all the machines he had worked over the years and he said, "It's a horrible thing not to be able to communicate with the ones that you love."

    I use FlyQ as well on my Ipad mini. I tried a few others and just prefer it. I have additional apps for weather on my phone and Ipad mini.

    Deciding between QT Halo and Clarity Aloft Link

    I tried a set of CA's that my son-in-law had and was wanting to sell. One side didn't work. He sent it off and got it repaired and has since sold them. He just wasn't found of the in ear style and I wasn't buying something that had been used a dozen times and already broken even if repaired...

    My wife took her first lesson today

    She is taking them in Starkville http://kartaviation.com/. My wife may not ever go for her license but she definitely wants to solo and then who knows. I called RAS several times. They never answered or returned my call. They had the FBO in Starkville as well before I started flying...

    First night lesson prep?

    You do know the emergency landing protocol for night landings. Turn your landing lights on, if you don't like what you see. turn 'em back off. :eek: The air is smooth and it can be some of the most enjoyable flying, but unless you have a lit up city / airport near you... you screwed if you...
