Excellent choice, I also had Midland G9s and changed to these radios. Sorry can't answer your questions but and give advice on my change over. Yes they are very good and easy to set up and use. I would suggest you check out the plug on your headset If you use one? they are both different and are NOT compatible but you can change your original one to fit but me change of cable cost £79. The good thing I found was if you quickly needed to change back to the Midlands you do not need to change the jumpers as they both work on same ones but you will need to have the original cable with you.

I guess this may of already been asked but I can't fing the information sorry. Can anyone advise me of the contact phone number, company name or web site that the full PCM use to take out the insurance? I see from other posts this years policies started on March 1st 2017. Any advice appreciated.

Maybe up for it but can you give more details on what's included? Flights acommodation from where to where? dates?

I am up for it, and a lot more in the future I hope.?

Thanks again Alan. Now I understand a lot more. I have just gone and ordered a BAOFENG BF-F8+ Dual Band which I understand will do both and add a 3rd radio to my G7's ?? . My only concern with this new radio is that it has an auto vox, will it still work on the TTP button? As it's coming with a ear bud head set my guess is that it will? Do you or anyone have user experience with this radio eg pitfalls or advantages? Only thing left to do now is to order the correct fittings to connect it to my Peltors, hopefully via my original supplier??

Thanks for the reply Alan. With my G7'7 I don't find it to bad if I let off the power. That's not always possible I know but I manage to get around it more often than not. I am not radio minded at all. The main reason of adding another type of radio is that when flying with others a few weeks ago they said that they were on 143.750. This was over my head and guessed I needed another type of radio to get on this channel? Please tell me if I am right or wrong? My thoughts were if I fly with these again I will need a radio to be able communicate with them? If so would it be a UV5R +plus type of radio? sorry all I know my questions to some may seam silly but I am not into radio and just don't know the answers.

Hi all, I see from the dates that this post is a few years old now and I guess things have move on a bit? I am now using Midland G7 radios and looking to upgrade / change etc. Can anyone advise me on the current model / number of radios being used successfully these days? I have Peltor cups fitted to my helmet with a splitter cable connector which may make it a little less hassle the change the radio end plug? I am thinking that my helmet supplier may be able to help me with the correct fittings once I know what new radio I have. Thank to anyone to anyone for the advice. Happy flying.

I used my local beach to learn to fly the wing, only problem I had was that the salt caused the aluminium buckles to corrode on my risers. Had to get new ones fitted by the Loft. Guess my advice would be to wash off any aluminium with clean water at the end of the day before storing away. I would also advise about thinking to fit an extra air filter to breather on fuel tank to eliminate sand particles getting in.

Anyone got a ticket they can't use? I am now able to go due to last minute changes. Web site sold out. Happy to go just on a spectator ticket. I M me please.

Hi all, I have been flying for 3 years. Happy to meet up and fly with others. If interested drop me reply. Happy to travel. Safe flying!
