Just ordered a new handheld for N502R and wondering where others are mounting/keeping them. With each cockpit & panel being somewhat different, I'd like to see what others have done, before I mount mine. Photos would be a big help.ThanksGene, in Hot & Humid Tennessee (this poor Ol' fat Alaska boy doesn't do well in the Southern humid heat). Looking forward to winter.________________________________________________________________________________

Longest cross cournty I've ever heard of! If you'd use a chart and a compass you might be able to find your way out here. If all else fails, look for a town's name on a water tower. The Mississippi flows South, The Tennessee flows north, the Ohio flows West and if you reach the coast, turn right.Good LuckGene ----- Original Message -----

Hi Rick,Last night ordered the Vertex VXA - 300 Pilot III from www.skygeek.com for $219.00. Aircraft Spruce wants $340.00 for the same radio. I had read somewhere else, some time ago, that it was easier to use that the Icom and it has a better battery, plus it comes with the headset adapter. I mounted a 45 degree antenna under my cowling (using the cowling as my ground plane). I tried it with an old radio I had and it seemed to work just fine, without engine noise.

I am thinking about getting this same radio.... I think it would beperfect for the Piet. You get anything done the wife's new car? Do youwant to meet to get the shear up to your place and exchange the $70? Ithink we could cut up some of that heavy steal angle to send with you tomake a stand.

I have the Icom IC-A22 NAV/COM. I don't have a lot of experience with many aviationhandhelds, but I've used a whole slew of Icom, Kenwood, Vertex (Yaesu) radios,and others in various hobbies or other applications. They are all prettygood, but I've come to like Icom's robust audio and ease of use. I've got3 Icom handhelds... one is an old IC2AT 144MHz "brick"... aside from the lackof DTMF tones, it still works great. I also have an 8 year old 4008A FRS radiothat has been through everything (wet, hot, dropped repeatedly) and it too worksgreat. I'm sure other manufacturers offer a decent aviation product line,but I can only speak for the ones I've used personally. As for the NAV feature... it is a great backup for the VOR radio. I actually usedit on one of my cross country flights, just for fun. It works great, andwhy not have a backup? Actually, it will be my only VOR reciever in my Piet.Most likely I won't be doing a lot of cross country anyway, and when I do I'lllikely use my GPSMAP 195, but it will be nice to have the VOR in the event ofa GPS failure. I've never used the Sporty's radios (not sure who actually makes them), but theylook like they operate real similar to the Icom for ~$100 less. Can't speakfor their performance though.--------Mark - working on wingsRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

Gene, I use an older Sporty's handheld radio. The antenna is one of those Cessna bent external ones which I straitened and put behind my seat,.with a cable to the handheld. The radio is strapped to my left leg with a velcro strap glued to the back of the radio. I didn't want to mount it to anything. It works--Jim Lagowski ----- Original Message -----

The one I recall was a fellow that had his work done through emachineshop.com,which offers a neat little 3-D drawing tool that requires you to draw all yourown parts, as they do not allow "second prints" so to speak for anyone otherthan the original customer, or something like that. I actually drew some smallerparts and priced it... very expensive. I can almost picture the guy's website that had the work done... lots of greenin the color scheme of the airplane I believe... and I think he also has an R/Cmodel to match. I have it bookmarked at home, but maybe this will help someonesmemory if we are thinking of the same guy. I may know of a guy... well, shhhhh.
