The instructions are somewhere in the archives, but the short of it is this:1) cut an 'X' in the lid, big enough to let the mic pass through2) push the lid over the mic3) wrap the mic with gauze or soft, open cell foam4) drill a small hole, 1/8-1/4" in the side of the cannister5) place cannister over mic and snap on the lid6) position the hole in front of your mouth and talk.On 01/29/2010 12:07 PM, Michael Perez wrote:> Well, what is it you do with the canister?

Hi Perry - I bought a complete package from these people:http://www.miracleantenna.com/includes headsets, intercom, radio, external antenna (that reaches out more than50 miles on a handheld). It was expensive, but when I priced all the stuffindividually the package was cheaper. Works great but there's no getting aroundopen cockpit noise.Kevin PurteeNX899KPRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: low and slow in a Champ with the door off

Yup... I've done my share of simulated aerial application in 41CC. We have a verynice array of farms in the area around 8T8 where I'm based, and I have oftenapplied swaths of virtual bugjuice, invisible fertilizer, and transparent herbicidesfrom the imaginary booms and hopper in my Piet. If I would just goahead and complete the installation of my smoke system on the airplane, I coulddo some REAL insect control with it!--------Oscar ZunigaSan Antonio, TXAir Camper NX41CCRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________
