Ryan Posted February 14, 2005 Report Posted February 14, 2005 ebay has quite a few used Gentex, good prices too. Quote
Winnie Posted February 15, 2005 Report Posted February 15, 2005 Please don't buy a helmet you don't know/have not seen please! Buy from somebody you know, or buy from a reputable source. www.flighthelmet.com www.flightsuits.com www.helohelmets.com Be very careful out there... Quote
Ryan Posted February 15, 2005 Report Posted February 15, 2005 I'll vouch for Flight Suits, got my HGU-56 from them. Great install of all the gear, nice selection of hardwear too. God bless ANR! (At least in a Robbie) Quote
Skidz Posted February 15, 2005 Report Posted February 15, 2005 If your plan is to build your own from a used shell, the only consideration when buying used from eBay is that the shell not be cracked or otherwise damaged and that the canvas and earcups are ok. You're gonna want to change almost everything else in it anyways... Quote
Skidz Posted February 15, 2005 Report Posted February 15, 2005 Oh yeah, almost forgot. If you buy a used helmet, make sure it has high impedance earphones and either an amplified dynamic or electret mike. Unless of course you're planning on changing them out... Quote
Ryan Posted February 15, 2005 Report Posted February 15, 2005 I would think so. I'm about 6'2" and barely fit a R22 with a helmet on, and the 300 has more head room from what I hear. Quote
advancing blade Posted February 15, 2005 Report Posted February 15, 2005 I can also vouch for head room in a 300 Another site where I got my new melmet is http://www.aviationhelmets.com/ Got one in 97 and same price today. Do spend the extra few bucks for the coil cord/ Straight cord is a total pain in some aircraft. Also I would recomend a dual visor. Just putting in a conversion to dual now. A buzzard in the face is no joke, although it sounds amuzing Quote
