UFlyMike Headset Survey

[Say Again Over]

Fozzy, I'm not worried about a total comm failure, just don't want to miss a call, we still manage to do that with two operable headsets I'm afraid.

I miss WAAYYY fewer calls with the UFLY than I did with the POS Telex 750 the company provides.


BTW Mike, do I get commissions? My co-pilot this week is the 4th guy I've convinced in less than a year (he ordered it after we flew together two weeks ago). He has to wait a few more days because of the back-order. And any luck convincing your employer to relent since you received the TSO?

I have yet to suffer a catastrophic headset failure and lose all control of the airplane due to my battery dying in my headset. I have had it now for 2 1/2 years. Maybe it is because I use Duracell and Energizer instead of "crap ass" AAA batteries. The red light flashes for like 4 hours before it dies, if it takes that long to notice a flashing red light then I would be concerned about other indications being missed.

I usually make sure my partners battery is fresh because that stupid flashing light drives me mad.
If I didn't like my current headset so much, UFly would be what I would have.

I can give you a smoking deal on some stock. Help me pay for that frickin TSO.

Good one! Wish I'd said that "crap ass" battery line.
