Headsets for Open Cockpit use
I'd be interested to hear opinions, recommendations, avoidance recommendations, abuse, whatever on the subject of a suitable, noise minimising headset & avionic kit for open cockpit use.
Just bought a share in a Luton Minor which uses an ICOM transceiver, (minimalist flying but GREAT fun), and may occasionally need to talk to someone on terror firmer.
Whats' the view on the ex-military gear (eg cloth headset, RAF Mk1 helmet) versus the newer but distinctly moped-looking microlight helmets and kit? I appreciate the ex-mil stuff will need conversion for microphone impedances.
