Hi, Just curious if anyone has a good recommendation on a budget GoPro Cam to film their flights (camera mounted behind pilot's head to show panel and forward view out of cockpit) ? Something like the SJ Cam? (https://sjcam.com/shop/). What did you need for the setup/mount? I rent a C172M...

Hi, I have a SkyLite SL-800 aviation headset and the foam on the headphone band has started to break down and become sticky. Is there a way I can clean this, or should I replace the foam? Thanks.

Archammer, Sorry for the delay. I have been pretty busy the past couple months and I finally got around to working on the headset. I moved the wire at J1 to J5 and W1 to W4. However, now I don't have any audio (or noise whatsoever) in the right ear. The left one still works fine. Before I...

Hi Archammer, I took it to an electronics repair shop on Sunday night. They think the sliding volume potentiometer is bad and needs to be replaced. They quoted me $55 for parts and labour. He said if they could source the pot from the US, it would be a quick fix, longer if they needed...

There is only 1 yellow wire connected to the PCB. I have attached a photo with some labels. I have both a digital and analog voltmeter. I've done some straightforward soldering projects, most recently de-soldering and installing a new MP3 aux jack in my car stereo. (I've never worked with...

Here are the photos of the control box. From Archammer "If there is still an issue with the audio in the right ear after flipping the switch, then you have an issue with a broken right speaker, right volume control or overhead cable connection. Tracing that would involve some...

I tried the battery test. There is a pop in both ears, but it is definitely louder in the left ear. If I leave it connected, there is a hum that is louder in the left ear than in the right. I will take some photos of the battery box tonight to help out in diagnosing this problem. The...

Hi, Thanks for the responses. My wife and brother have both used this headset as a passenger. Both said that they could only hear out of the left ear. However, my wife thinks I fixed the problem in the plane (this was last Fall) and then she could hear out of both. However, I couldn't...

Hi, I have a used Lightspeed QFR solo headset (http://www.lightspeedaviation.com/content/lightspeedaviation/CustomPages/QFR-Series.htm). I can hear fine out of the left ear, but I can barely hear out of the right. With the engine running, I cannot hear out of the right ear. I bought a 1/4"...

Hi, I had always thought that a cross country flight in Canada had to be at least 25 NM. I can't find the CAR on this. The US one is: To meet the requirements (except rotorcraft and powered parachute category rating) for a private certificate, a commercial certificate, instrument...

Hi, The dipstick on our club Cessna 150 is made out of a paint stir stick. I made my own out of a paint stick from Lowes. The problem is that it is very difficult to see which part of the stick is wet and which is dry when I dip the tanks. I have this problem for both dipsticks. Can...

Hi, I'm new to flying a Cessna 150 (Model G - 1967). The POH lists a range of speeds for various flap settings. Can you verify / correct the following info on the chart? Flight Phase Power setting (RPM) Flap setting Speed (MPH) cross wind leg, climb full throttle up 70...

That's EXACTLY what I'm looking for! Thanks!

Hi, A few years ago I came across "Course Line Tape" in the Aircraft Spruce catalog. However, I never ordered it and now I can't find anyone who carries it. I've attached a pdf of the catalog page. I'm not sure how hold this is. It could be as old as 2006. The item in question is in the red...

Hi, I have my PPL, but medical is expired. I'd like to know if thing situation is legal: I fly a rented Cessna 150 from the left hand seat, while my friend, who is a current flight instructor sits in the right hand seat. He is renting the aircraft from the flying club of which he's a member...

Hi, You guys make some great points. Rental prices in my area are about $100/hr C150 wet, and $150/hr C172 wet. A member is responsible for selling his share on his own to a new partner. I don't think there's an option to sell the share back to the partnership. Members can price their...

Hi, I've come across a 1967 Cessna 150G with just under 5000 TTAF, and 1700 SMOH. There are 10 partners that have owned it since 2005. They only fly it about 120 hrs / year. Currently, 3 of the partners live in the other side of the country. The partnership has a bank account with...

Thanks for the responses everyone. I was not prescribed any of these vitamins - it was only a suggestion from the doc. So, I will leave it out of my next aviation medical. Cheers.

Hi, Do you need to report that you are taking a multi-vitamin supplement and/or vitamin D to the aviation doctor? And, I guess the reason for taking it would be low B-12 and low vitamin-A as discovered with bloodwork. Thanks.

Hi, I'm looking into buying a plane or a share in a plane. I'm trying to narrow down my requirements so I don't buy too much plane ;). I live in Calgary, Alberta, Canada where the elevation is approx. 4000 ft ASL. So this means most circuit heights are at 5000 ft ASL. And cruising altitudes...
