Flying helmets
I have an open-top Turbulent and I'd like a helmet in case I should ever tip it upside down. By far the cheapest seem to be RAF mk iv military helmets. Alas it's hard to integrate a headset to my old hang-gliding helmet.
I'm considering trying to fit an ANR module using the same conversion kit that I used for my David Clarke headset.
I really don't care how I look. The RAF wear Nomex and hard helmets for a reason and if as a side effect of being cheap, I end up looking like a poser, that's fine. But are there any downsides to these helmets in a small wooden aircraft - e.g. too big, bulky, heavy, overkill, plutonium contamination etc?
