Headset Panel Installation

[Dorsal]

I also have only limo plugs but installed them just behind my shoulder, same on the right seat.

You're right Paul, that image can't easily be read. PM sent re emailing the full sized image.

Cheers,

Another consideration is resale. I know we don't ever anticipate selling our creations but...


Larger considerations have already been mentioned, emergency use of older headsets, replacements while getting the primary units repaired, etc.


Power takeoffs for other equipment, cameras, audio, etc.


I really don't see why having the extra jacks would be a problem? Just an added convenience if ever needed.


Just my .02,

I'm doing LEMO-only. Adapters to standard headsets are cheap and easy to come by. Like others, mine are in the upper triangle behind each occupant's shoulder. I did them as low as possible so that the wires can run up the fore leg of the triangle window. I don't have any pictures that show them, but I could take them. I just bonded in some little aluminum plates to mount them to. Pretty straightforward.

As an aside, if I ever find out who dictated that on the front panel, knee-level, and by the door should be the standard place for the headset jacks in a GA airplane, I might slap him.

Clark, you ought to feel how heavy these four connectors are with their service loop worth of wire. Swear, its over 2lbs. I don't have that much extra wire either, maybe one loop of about 6-8 inch diameter.

Thanks for pointing that out. Obviously, I hadn't considered that. That is definitely a consideration!
