John is right about Sportys' prices. Early on I bought their goggles andleather helmet. Sportys has a "one size fits all" policy and I looked like Iwas sticking my head out of a covered wagon and without the overpriced goggles,it would not stay on unless I choked myself with the strap. Also, there is noprovision for a headset, which is pretty close to required with the air trafficdensity here in So. Cal. This combination is now a wall decoration adding"ambiance" to my hanger.WarrenJohn Duprey wrote:> Years ago when I had a PT-19 I bought a nice leather helmit from Sportys> Pilot shop.

I am fortunate to have my grand-mothers flying helmet given to her by a WWI acewhen she was learning to fly. The unusual thing about the old "Sculley" (brand)design is, when you place it flat and look at opening for the face it hasa 90 degree angle from the forehead piece to the piece that runs down your cheeks.Current designs are usually more than 90 degrees and not as comfortable.In 1990, I had a custom helmet made at a small shop down town Brodhead of all places!I noticed the shop and went in and asked the owner if he could make oneup. I trusted him by paying in advance, explained this difference and he followedthrough and I have my helmet. I looked quickly when I was in town lastyear but don't think he is in business anymore. If I'm not fortunate enoughto make Brodhead this year, and you find yourself downtown, look for a small leathershop set back from the main drag running through town. It'd be great ifour "event" helped keep a local business in business.Bill Sayre> ----------

Gordon,I know what you mean. My open cockpit Minimax 'Maggie Mae' flies much better since I began wearing a leather helmet instead of a bone dome and its high rate of climb is definitely due to its silver paint; its a happy aircraft.I'm going to miss the helmet in 'Maggie Mae II' the Jodel D18 I'm building now. Maybe I'll leave the sliding canopy open and wear the leather helmet and goggles.Happy flying to all,Leo --On Tue, 23 Mar 1999 07:08:12 arkiesacres wrote:>I bought a set of Black Leather Goggles from a Harley shop years back for>riding, WW1 style.>>So someday I'm going to build a WW1 Airplane around them.>>Gordon-----== Sent via Deja News, The Discussion Network ==-----http://www.dejanews.com/ Easy access to 50,000+ discussion forums________________________________________________________________________________
