PIREP as promised (sorry for the delay): i bought one of these from BestBuy.com, since they were matching the Prime Day price, and it gave me an option of a local store to deal with. Good thing, too, since it arrived with the switch in the ON position, and the battery was toast. I gave it 24...

This has been mentioned, but I’ll +1 the notion of looking out the side of the aircraft about 30 to 45 degrees, and then getting a sense of how far you need to be from the side. It’s something I learned when training in the Yak-52, which I was trained to land in an absurdly tail-down attitude...

I used to do this very thing, commuting daily from San Diego (MYF) for several weeks. On a few occasions, I stayed for several days. I wasn't as savvy as you, getting good advice from the smart people on this website. I just got VFR flight following, did the Mini Route through LAX, and stayed...

Just bought one! I’ll report back once I try it out with the mic.

Have you considered an experimental 180 HP, like an RV-7?

Have you tried getting in touch with NFlight Support? They really know their stuff.

Same exactly thing happened to me. My girlfriend at the time (now wife) bought me glider lessons for my birthday after a 20 year hiatus from getting my PPL. Sparked the addiction again, and now I spend all my spare money on airplanes...

This is glorious!

Excellent point. I do not have any experiences with DC ANR headsets newer than about 10 years old.

:). Will do!

I've been thinking about a few things recently that have bearing on this question: There's no "safe" just more safe, and less safe. Flying, above most other activities accessible to regular folks like me, is about informed and intelligent assumption of risk. I think that is an important...

I usually lurk, but this is something I feel like I actually know about, so I’ll weigh in here. I have experience with Lightspeed, David Clark, Bose A20, and Bose QC 35 using the NFlight Nomad mic, along with a litany of passive headsets. Moreover, I fly in a wide range of GA planes, including...
