Recreational Flying Headsets

[Admin]

I am about to order another 100 Recreational Flying Headsets:

 

 

My questions are:

 

1. Is the Blue still the right colour for them...I thought Blue made them stand out against all other headsets making them unique

 

2. Should they be named something else like "Clear Prop"...currently they just have our logo and the web site name on the side of them in silver

 

3. Should the name/logo what ever it ends up being be silver or black or ???

 

Just thought I would ask for customer input.

 

Also note that the shop here on the site has 200 Wire Twisters on their way so their price will be heavily reduced when they arrive.

 

Also we are about to place an order for 250 E6Bs, all sizes of navigational rulers (600), plotters, protractors etc. Because we are having them specially manufactured for Recreational Flying they will take a couple of months to manufacture and arrive and when they do, again their prices will be heavily reduced...we are trying to pass on what ever savings we can make direct to you in the hope it helps recreational aviators.

I like mine just the way they are. Work great for me. i flew 3 hrs last weekend and didn't even know I was wearing them except for airline pilots calling Adelaide all day. I would urge everyone to support Ian and the shop when ever possible.

I like mine the way they are... Blue is my favourite colour so I may be biased.

Thanks for asking Ian, but they're fine the way they are Mate...

Leave them the way that they are Ian, Brand recognition goes a long way in a product.

 

Mine are really good for when I have to use them.

yep, like em as is mate, although i dont use them anymore, since i got my Quiet Technologies Halo. But the better half has to wear something right?

 

 

[pudestcon]

I wear mine all the time Ian, they perform perfectly and are just the right colour in my opinion. Don't f@#% with something that is just fine as is!!!

Thanks Guys, it is just all about questioning the cosmetics and customer feedback is important...because I know how much you all like to walk down the Catwalk showing off the latest styles in aviation and what Pilots are wearing this season

Ian, do you have a helmet that fits over these headsets?

 

I fly in the open air and like to keep my brain in a bucket.

I've been a fan of david clark since the seventies. To the extent that I don't use the wizbang Bose headset I have because I prefered the DCs. Then I got your blue ones a couple of months back, Ian, and I prefer them to the DCs. So please, from my perspective, leave them as they are.

Graeme, we have the clip on helmet versions in stock i.e. without the headband:

Graeme - BIG ONES:crazy:

I guess ones that have the little lug thingy for the headsets to clip on to...sorry for not being much help but I don't fly open cockpit where you need a helmet so I am not sure

Graeme - The Dave Clark syle ones fit, not the full bone dome the cheaper style with the skull cap inner section, there is some cloth tabs that hold the full head set in/on. The only problem is with some heads and the Dave Clark fitted there is very little pressure around the ears so a little constructive bending is needed. - No not the head the side supports of the head set.

for the same price I found a very nice leather one made locally.

And we'll find it...???

No name inside it. I don't think the local pilot shop stocks them any more but I will ask where mine came from (5+ years ago).

Ian, do you have a helmet that fits over these headsets?I fly in the open air and like to keep my brain in a bucket.

Graeme.

Graeme, your problem is a no brainer because Stratco sell a very good galvanised steel bucket which is lined with a removeable inflateable insert which gives a very comfortable fit over the head.

 

The handle is covered with a very soft rubber which makes a very good chin strap.

 

Needless to say this is a top of the range bucket so is quite expensive so if you are unable to afford one at this time, you can always add it to your 'Bucket List'
