• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

Hi All, I have a Hatz CB1 with O-320. its loud in the cockpit but mostly wind noise. I'm experimenting with different windscreens but I'm wondering about my radio too. Before start the radio volume is loud but not real loud. At cruise, I can barely hear the tower and other planes. I've been told my transmissions are weak too. I'm using a DC 13.4 headset but sound quality is not improved with my Lightspeed Zulus. I'm going to try my Clarity Alofts next. anyone use in the ear headsets? The radio is a King 97A and I'm using the radio's internal intercom. Are there other radios that have a more powerful amplifier? What radios do others use?

Thanks,
Dave
