Bose Headsets
I am the
owner of a Bose Aviation X
headset. Wow what a big difference. I enthusiastically
endorse and recommend Bose aviation headsets.
Helicopter Flashcards
These flashcards are a Chinese import geared completely towards FAA
helicopter checkrides and written exams. Surprisingly enough they
are free from any kind of english errors and are surprisingly
useful. I'm not usually a fan of Chinese products but...
Doc MacKinnon: "Truly worth every cent! Clear, concise, &
ideal for the busy student."
Jim D: I got your flash cards today, and love them!

Very bad people. They don't know how to read or write
english. Rude.
Yahoo Webhosting
You suck Yahoo. I hate that you killed geocities and the 500 free
aviation websites that died at your hands.
FlightCom Denali
I've got to say that the worst
headset maker in America goes to
FlightCom who produces the worst ANR headset in terms of quality and
service that is available in this hemisphere. The following is a
description of my dealings with them. Subsequently, I've learned
from others that their headset bands are known to break
repeatedly due to poor engineering and their service after the sale is
about the same as my experience. If you don't catch this advice
below, DONT BUY FLIGHTCOM products (unless you want bad quality, over
priced crap).
20 May 2004 Don't buy anything made by FlightCom (i.e. Denali Headsets)
.
Met the Director of Marketing Will Antunes at Sun N Fun
(Lakeland). He promised me (in front of a
student I brought
there to
buy a FlightCom Denali) that he would not only repair my
in-warranty headset
but see that it was upgraded with the new leather ear seals. After trying to contact him 5
times over the following 2 weeks, the guy never kept his
promise, never even answered my phone calls or emails.
This is a company director who
did this...
if that's
the attitude at the top... why should we support them by purchasing their products?
So I wrote the President of the company, Brian.VanderPloeg@flightcom.net
to share my thoughts on this. I never got a response. Even
called and left a voice mail. Nothing. Sad because I
used to be such a fan. When they needed
me (brand
new
Denali product line), I bought the
best they had to offer. I even brought my students to the product
and they bought because of me. When I needed them to support
the product, they gave me the best they could do: silence. So... moral
of the story, dont buy FlightCom. Buy David Clark, Lightspeed
(with far more features), Bose... anything but FlightCom. This is
my story, your mileage may vary, but I'm sure not by much.
1 June 2004 I am now the owner of a Bose Aviation X
headset. Wow what a big difference. I enthusiastically
endorse and recommend Bose aviation headsets.
10 May 2005 An update a year later about the headset. Well after
a year, FlightCom looks asked me to send in the headset so maybe they
will actually honor the
warranty. I sent the headset to them. Turns out they wont
cover the problem with the headset. So again I remind everyone,
dont buy FlightCom products. Now that I have seen the light of
better products on the market, add to it that they dont stand behind
their product or their word, why should anyone do business with such a
group of liars?
1 January 2010 Yes FlightCom, you still suck.

Comments = I tried a pair of FlightCom's once when beginning my
flying....wow, they sucked. I had a plastic knob fall off in my
hand in the first 5 minutes of use. I went with a David Clark for
my first pair. Now I have a Lightspeed, and life has changed for
the better.

Comments = More Comments: I couldn't agree more with your comments
about FlightComm. Their stuff sucks the big one!!! I've started using
nothing but Lightspeed products and couldn't be happier. Inexpensive
and HIGH quality and value.
