Re: Handheld radio - New purchase & Licence application
Many thanks for the suggestion Clive and I'm veering towards buying a Yaesu at present. Jim, has your Yaesu radio met your expectations? Do you use just the internal batteries or a separate 12v supply? (I'm assuming a 12 volt supply is OK. I read somewhere that this may need an adapter to drop the v...

Re: Handheld radio - New purchase & Licence application
Many thanks Clive and Jim.
I originally assumed that I wouldn't be eligible ( hence my delay in applying ), but then I have lost the choice of buying a used old radio and will have to go for a new one, so am hoping that Jim is right and that I'll qualify as suggested.
I'll give it a try!

Handheld radio - New purchase & Licence application
I'd like to buy a new 8.33 handheld radio for my project, which is progressing now, in the hope I may qualify for the CAA/EU(!) discount, if there is any money left in the kitty. I don't yet have a registration for the aircraft and assume I must, therefore, apply for a £15 Radio Licence for a handhe...

Re: Hand held radio.
I'm following this with interest, having made and installed a half wave dipole ( following instructions found on the web: http://chrusion.com/BJ7/InvVeeAntenna4ULs.pdf ) and mounted it inside the fuselage woodwork, in the hope of achieving better performance with a handheld. The antenna uses a "Paws...

Using Brackett type carb air filters
Has anyone experience of making up the required aluminium frame for a "custom" shaped filter of this type? There is a welder local to me who could deal with that aspect. The hot air box I'm using is of the type that would fit an Aeronca Chief/A-65 (not the application in my case) and there isn't a s...

Re: Leather helmet: Adapting old RAF"C"type to a modern radi
Wrote to Headset Services and they replied very promptly. Unfortunately - and not surprisingly perhaps - they are no longer able to assist with this type of work.
I'll keep looking & hope there will be a solution ( a helpful boffin ? ) out there somewhere!
Regards.
