G’day All, Does anyone have experience with the Lynx intercom/headset system? I have very weak/distorted sidetone and suspect it the batteries. Apparently they are 6V 450mAh Ni-Mh. I’m not able to source anything through Jaycar/BatteryWorld, has anyone been successful with replacing their headset batteries? thanks in advance!

Hey Flyboy, many thanks for the tips! I’ll try that out.

G’day Radio Guru’s, I have a Microair 760 Radio fitted to a gyro which is working fine with a Lynx Intercom system. I do however get an annoying momentary (1 second) loud high pitched tone through the headset the moment I turn the radio on. After which it goes away and the radio functions fine. Is this normal? And for comparison, are there any Microair 760 owners here that experience the same thing? thanks in advance!

G'day Aviators, Does anyone use Lynx Headsets? if so, do you also use a battery charger? and which type do you use? i've learned that these headsets have internal batteries which power amplifier circuits for sidetone and the mic and may require periodic charging. One of my headsets has low sidetone so I think I may have killed my battery from neglect over 8 years of not placing it on-charge between flights 😞 Additionally - has anyone ever replaced these batteries before? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.

Thanks Scott & much appreciated.

Does anyone know where I can buy Aeroshell Sports Plus 4 oil in SE QLD? Thanks in advance :)

Thanks again Onetrack & good to know.

Hi Onetrack, Thanks very much for taking the time out of your day to write such a probing & detailed reply. These links are really helpful and I should most definitely be able to source something. Really appreciated and have a great day! Andrew

Thanks Flyboy :)

G’day Aviators, could someone here please tell me where I can buy silent blocks? Pictures attached. I have one that’s worse for wear. Any information would be appreciated. cheers, Andrew

Hi Ian, Thanks very much for your reply! i've just sent you a PM. Cheers, Andrew

Hi Spacesailor, thanks & good question - yes it would definitely go down the wall of a shed (picture attached with dimensions). cheers

Hi All, Looking for some help. I'm planning a trip to Airlie Beach (departing Brisbane) in late September and seeking some temporary hangarage for my Gyrocopter (approx 3 weeks) somewhere that's near to Airlie Beach. Shute Harbour, Prosperpine and Bowen Airfields come to mind and I would be so grateful if someone could help me out with a small corner of a hangar. I'm obviously happy to pay a reward in return :) Thanks in advance! Ozi

Thanks for all the constructive feedback gents, I really appreciate it - tailwinds 🙂

Thanks Onetrack for your feedback and much appreciated mate, I generally replace all my zip ties annually so it's not a problem 🙂
