Headset Question
Good evening,
I am starting my flight training and just ordered the A30 headset by Bose. My training will be in a R44 and I was wondering which plugs to go with? I got the 6pin and plan to buy the u174 adapter based off of reading a post in this community advising that but when I spoke with someone in the flight training he said it didn't sound right and to just make sure it said Helicopter on it. Please advise as I am clueless. TIA

Spreading something from the tanks
It was fun watching this helicopter take off and land all day to fill the tanks on its sides with bags of something. I guessed fertilizer.

would this be legal for logging hours?
During the flight, a slack cable is always connecting the helicopter to an unmanned vehicle on the ground. The helicopter flies over an empty concrete pad. The vehicle automatically follows the helicopter. The helicopter can actually land on the vehicle.
