You're just trying to sell headsets. :D And you just may have. Once I get further along I'm going to take you up on that deal. :yes:

Yeah... I figured I'd use them for training (assuming they work half-way decently) and get a nicer set a little later on. You really can't beat free...

It's the bar in my kitchen. That's a roll of paper towels. But thanks for playing. :P

Yeah... I saw that on eBay last night, too, but wanted a second opinion. 40X is it, then. Thanks!

So my best friend gave me this Flightcom headset yesterday. It was his dad's set and since he passed away a few years ago, he had no need for them and figured I could at least use them during my training. Problem is... I can't find a model number anywhere on it so I can order some things for...

DAMMIT!! That's why the Visa fraud prevention people called me. And suddenly I'm bequeathing an as-yet-unobtained vastly expensive estate to him. We need to get to the bottom of this. WHERE ARE MY ORGANS, PTC??? Seriously, aviation needs more folks like Tyler. I was reading the "What's...

Why haven't I read this before? Great read, SPC. I, too, went on a "flight" in the fauxnanza. Just last night with PTC. At least I think I did. I remember a burger at the Grand Prairie airport... Seriously, he's one of the nicest guys I've met. Ever. Schedules permitting we should...

Welcome from another metroplex guy! Depending on where you live, look into the Texins flying club at McKinney airport. Very good rates, membership dues and CFI fees. I haven't joined yet but I plan to soon. (And no, I'm not being paid to say this... LOL)

CONGRATS!!

Well, they are closed due to Snowstormageddon 2015...

Thanks for the ideas! I'll let ya know what I find out.

She got it on eBay so probably not. I've seen them go for around $250 new and she paid WAY less that that for them. Worse comes to worse I can list them on eBay and try to make a profit. :)

My wife (bless her heart) got me an early Valentines Day gift. Imagine my surprise when I open the box and there sits a David Clark headset. HOLY CRAP!!! Fast forward about 5 minutes and I realize they aren't aviation headsets. (Model H5030 for those of you playing along at home.) I have...

+1 :yes:

Oh I know. That's why I'm a little leery about what she might get me. I figure I'll use it for training and once I get the ticket I'll invest in something better. She understands that. I hope. :lol:

I'm using the Gleim kit, too. Material is dry but they do a great job of preparing you. I'm also reading Bob Gardner's "The Complete Private Pilot" which is a great read and after that I'm going to read "Say Again..." I've read Machado's "Private Pilot Handbook" and it's a great ease-you-in...

HA! Perfect! We talk about the cost (kind of) but my wife is VERY supportive. She's using my training as guide to holiday/birthday gift buying. I'm not complaining. She's talking now, however, about getting me a headset for Valentine's Day. I'm trying to (nicely) tell her that headsets are...

True. I'm only two chapters in to the ground school, however. And I plan to start the flight training as soon as this cold/sinus/allergy attack/whatever I have goes away. :mad2:

I'll probably end up buying a plane at some point. If not, I'm OK with that. Right now it's study, study, study. I haven't even taken a flight lesson yet but I do a LOT of couch flying along with my ground school. I've read, in many different places, that a good study ethic at home can go a...

Well crap. I was hoping since I live in the DFW area that I might luck out and not have to pay for a DPE. Oh well...
