So there's this one guy...

Hey everyone! New to the forums here, and just wanted to introduce myself and give the proverbial group "wave". Looking forward to hanging out with y'all.

Thanks for having me!

If going through the photo and video section doesn't do it then there's no hope for you.

And welcome!

Mmmm, plane porn!


Ok, so I know I've spent time in the patterns here at HYI with some of y'all, watching you enjoy your cubs, AC's etc. I know I've heard 428AC, 254AC and 3609Z many times, and I probably have video with some of you on the radios.

Well I'm always looking for people to hang out with in the area here, so if you ever need a flyin buddy, let me know. I don't know how to pedal dance yet, but I meet all PTS for BBQ. :D

Re: So there's this one guy...

Welcome! Love the avatar, btw - I went by "Jetdi Pilot" on an airline BB for a long time :wink:

Do you guys do any ANR setups for aviation helmets, by any chance?

Hey thanks!

You need to have an ANR setup put into an existing helmet, or you're looking for a custom helmet too? We can do both, but tell me a little more about what you need and we can make it for you, or point you in the right direction.

Not sure yet - I need something for driving around in my Silverado and I'm trying to decide what to replace my fuzzy ear muffs with... :wink:

Actually, I have a bunch of friends in the warbird community and I'm slowly heading in that direction one way or another. Trying to get a feel for what is out there. First airplane for it would probably be a Stearman. My buddy keeps trying to sell me his Nanchang, but I've been stiff-arming him so far. I didn't see helmets on your page, tho. (?)

Re: So there's this one guy...

We're just now getting into the custom helmets side, but I haven't put them on the site for sale yet. Still working out some production bugs. Are you wanting to do a soft skull cap or a flight helmet?

I like the hard helmets. Are you guys starting with your own custom shells, then? Or modifying off the shelf items? What kind of materials?
