Flycom’s seems to have gotten a bad batch of mics in their helmets that seem to be too sensitive. I have been swapping them out with perfect results after… not sure if mic volume can be lowered or filtered. I can replace the mic if you send me the helmet. Could be worth a try.

Side tone is a radio setting. It’s stops your voice from coming through the speakers when you talk. This stops “feedback” since the mic picking up the sound of what it is picking up. This is a real fix, but a band aid fix. And you can’t hear yourself at all… but you hear everyone else.

Sounds like a feedback loop. Try just the new helmet and see if the mic volume needs to be turned down.

I like to secure as many battens as possible before hauling back so that they seat well in the front of the pocket. But since the sprogs need to go up after you haul back you really cannot get the last 5-6 battens in without undoing them again.

Seatbeltplanet.com ask for same as a REVO.

Hey Roger, those don’t typically leak because they get old. They typically leak because people don’t use the proper part they go into which is CCA2474. Without this they will leak unless it’s a really old reservoir, then they can screwed in directly. This is a very common problem and no one seems to know about it.
Aircrafts price sells this part and the quick drain as well.

I have mics in stock and can solder them in all day long easy. I do not have the booms though. Mics tend to go out from time to time and I can handle that easily. Just ship me the helmet. Call for details. 813-810-9262

And I always learned things from the forum.

Hey Jeff, it hasn’t happened yet on this forum, but heated debates can erupt and when they do, the “schooled losers” like to delete their comments before others can see the thread. Back in the day we had Trikepilot.com and what made it great was 2 things: you had to visit the site to see the latest “action” on the home page or it “fell off” the page and NO TAKE BACKS. If someone said something ignorant, and someone else took the time to educate that person, all could benefit from the thread. I remember I got schooled by Abid one time. Speaking of, where is Abid on this forum. He was one of about 3 “trouble makers that made the forum a heated discussion board at basically all times.
Anyway I hope that the trouble makers make it over to this forum at some point and start some debates because they usually become educational and entertaining even though feelings get hurt sometimes.

Separate log books are used so you can sell the prop or engine separately. As trikes are rarely “separated” and when they do, it’s usually after a wreck and no one expects a logbook at that point. A 1960 Cessna may be on its 10th motor and some may have been replaced or upgraded as the decades went on and 9 of those motors may still be flying. So it’s a little different. But you can always start a log book for each. Most trike pilots have enough trouble keeping up with 1 book.

Last we know, the 120 hour LSRM course will no longer allow this privilege. In the mean while Brian and Carol Carpenter are tirelessly attacking this new problem. So any existing LSRMs can continue with privileges, but the hoops Mosaic has placed moving forward will put an end to the old way of doing things. Here is the video on the subject https://youtu.be/sveMP-yCrtI?si=vgoAN_IuiPvgw0tO

So we were never very regulated with LSA before, but constant speed props (I will want one) 3 seat trikes, retractable gear are some of the things we could see as a result. On the other hand if you want to get your LSRM, light sport repairman cert then you need to do it before the end of the year to get grandfathered in.
These are the things I am personally thinking about.

Unfortunately most people don’t know the difference. Even some pilots… that’s just the truth.
