Thanks for the replies - very useful - so it is also to do with the hardware within the radio itself!

So....I take it from the lack of replies (apart from the non-quantifiable ranters), no-one actually knows why we shouldn't take radio RECEIVERS on board aircraft - even pilots themselves??? :ugh:...

Thats cool.

I have just had a quick look on Airliners.net, but there doesn't look as though there is the aircraft I saw on there - so it must be quick illusive. I have also checked around on...

Well from the earlier posting today from wub about the Rutan 33 VariEze, I googled it to see if I could find info on the type and found the Beechcraft Starship.

Hi wub,

Thanks for the reply, but it wasn't one of those - the wing configuration is the same though. What do they call this configuration type?

Hi,

I could tell if it was a jet or prop as there was apparently no sound coming from the craft and I...
