Re: Lightspeed Headsets
I've had two Lightspeed 30-3G's and two Lightspeed Zulu's. I'd rate them as slightly better than Bose, and Customer Service is great. (no offense intended to those who prefer Bose. -- I agree about bluetooth and spend a lot of time listening to bluetoothed mp3 music on the Zulu's).

Re: Tail Wheel
David, we did have a lot less on our plates back then. I learned in a J3 and most of my time to this day is in taildraggers, so I never got into the habit of using much rudder in one. I just put in a rudder deflection for the average crosswind and modulate that as required by the gusts, so I general...

Re: Tail Wheel
.....If there were enough tail-draggers around so that everyone could be trained to First Solo in such an one how much more complete and comprehensive and less costly would be our training. I agree with the less costly part (am not so sure about the more complete and comprehensive). I bought a J3 Cu...

.....Have one of our own in bits so not my bag. I know that feeling. My PA-11 and J3 are currently in bits. Am in the midst of overhauling a C85 stroker for the 11, and am finishing up my PA-12 rebuild (recover and installing an O-320-A off a 150 hp Pawnee). In the meantime, I've loaned my O-200 to ...

It seems to take longer these days. In 1965, I solo'd in a J3 in 7 hours, 20 minutes. Would have been quicker, but I had my arm in a sling after a motorcycle accident, and my instructor wouldn't solo me till I got the sling off. On the other hand, modern teaching techniques probably make for better ...
