I can’t do very much for now while I’m waiting for the cabling kit for the Savannah’s new radio to arrive from the UK. This is what I’m expecting to drop into my mail box some time during the early part of next week.<\/p>\n

And what an amazing resource Le Bon Coin is. I logged on yesterday evening to search for general aviation headsets. I wanted to get hold of two in very good condition and both of the same model, of course. I immediately found three of the same model that fitted me down to the ground. One (the cheapest \ud83d\ude42 ) was already sold subject to payment so I went after the other two, one of which is in Albi in the far south-west and the other in the outer Paris area, and I’ve acquired both of them. Here are the shots of them that the sellers posted in their ads.<\/p>\n

So amazingly, after deciding that I had to completely re-do the whole radio fit in the Savannah, in under 24 hours I’ve managed to acquire all of the items I need to do so at ‘cut prices’. Now that has to be a result, if not some kind of record!<\/p>\n

Today I removed the headsets and headset extension cords from the Savannah and tomorrow I’ll strip everything else out leaving just the PTT and power supply connections ready for the cable kit when it arrives. Some weeks ago I applied for the unique 24 bit code for the Savannah’s new transponder but, this being France, have received no reply.<\/p>\n

So today I’ve sent the issuing organisation (NOT the DGAC) with a chaser email, so with a bit of luck I’ll have that by the time the new avionics system is ready to go. Then it’ll just be a matter of arranging a ‘rendezvous’ with the radio testing station at La Rochelle and finally I’ll be back in business and rarin’ to go!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
