We’ve now had a long series of
postings – Subject: Nothing to report; that has covered lots of good info on P-port mod,
headsets; and other miscellaneous. Really; it’s not that tough to
make a pertinent subject heading which makes the archives at least potentially
useful.
Thanks,
Al

I have used both the Bose and the Lightspeed
30-3G. The Bose may be very slightly better, but the price is almost
double. For the value, go with the Lightspeed.
YMMV

My headset is the original
Lightspeed 20K - about 12 years old and still fine. I've tried a Lightspeed 33K
swapping back and forth between it and the 20K in my buddy's Mooney. The 33K is
slightly better than my old 20K, but not enough to justify upgrading.
I borrowed another friend's
Lightspeed Zulu a few weeks ago and flew with it in the RV for about an hour.
Significantly better than my 20K and I plan on making that upgrade once I can
scare up the cash.
Another friend has the Bose which he
just bought. Havent been able to talk him out of it yet for a test flight but I
hope to.

Re: nothing to report...
Is there anyone out there with a Lightspeed Zulu that
can report on its effectiveness?

Mark,
Which ANR do you use?

Good report Mike. I know what you mean about a
quieter muffler. My ANR headset does a good job of killing the low
frequencies, but a poor job on the higher frequencies. The rotary has
both. So take your pick, turn the ANR on and listen to the
high frequencies, or turn it off and listen to the low rumble. If I could
only find an ANR that can do both I would be a happy camper.

I added another 1.3 hours to my
total flight time today. And for the first time I landed and was completely
satisfied with the flight. I'd still like to quiet it down a little, but this
was the first flight where I didnt feel like there was anything that had to be
fixed before the next flight. Even the landing was pretty decent.
I've got just over 9 hours of
flight time and about 40 hours of engine run time now. So far all of my
flight time has been directly over the airport because to venture away requires
flying over about 50 miles of mostly unlandable mountainous terrain. But I'm
starting to think seriously about stretching the legs a little...
