Mike,
As you might be aware, we pay significantly more
here in Aus for such equipment, can you tell me what the Bose -X and the Zulu go
for in the states.

My headset is the original Lightspeed 20K - about
12 years old and still fine. I've tried a Lightspeed 33K swapping back and forth
between it and the 20K in my buddy's Mooney. The 33K is slightly better than my
old 20K, but not enough to justify upgrading.
I borrowed another friend's Lightspeed Zulu a few
weeks ago and flew with it in the RV for about an hour. Significantly better
than my 20K and I plan on making that upgrade once I can scare up the
cash.
Another friend has the Bose which he just bought.
Havent been able to talk him out of it yet for a test flight but I hope
to.

Is there anyone out there with a Lightspeed Zulu that can
report on its effectiveness?

Good report Mike. I know what you mean about a quieter
muffler. My ANR headset does a good job of killing the low
frequencies, but a poor job on the higher frequencies. The
rotary has both. So take your pick, turn the ANR on
and listen to the high frequencies, or turn it off and
listen to the low rumble. If I could only find an ANR that can
do both I would be a happy camper.

I added another 1.3 hours to my total
flight time today. And for the first time I landed and was
completely satisfied with the flight. I'd still like to quiet it
down a little, but this was the first flight where I didnt feel like
there was anything that had to be fixed before the next flight. Even
the landing was pretty decent.
I've got just over 9 hours of
flight time and about 40 hours of engine run time now. So far
all of my flight time has been directly over the airport because to
venture away requires flying over about 50 miles of mostly
unlandable mountainous terrain. But I'm starting to think seriously
about stretching the legs a little...
