I got my first ride this year at Broadhead with Bill Rewey. He has thefront seat controls completely hooked up and he provides great insites tothe feel of the airplane. To say it feels a lot like a Aerononca 7AC wouldbe a close statement.To say it was a blast is an understatement. There is no real way to talk toeach other without an intercom, something Bill did not have set up.David Scott 8/31/98steve(at)byu.edu wrote:> -----Original Message-----> Sent: Monday, August 31, 1998 8:36 AM> To: Steve(at)byu.edu> Subject: Intercom>> Steve->> I spent the past few weeks giving tons of rides as you have been doing.> Was wondering if you use an intercom to see how your passengers> are liking their ride or not ?
