Garmin Stuff
Don't remember where but heard Garmin is coming out with a new and improved 396, 496 maybe. Also heard of a mini version of the 1000.
Pretty good time to be building. Better time to be flying!!!!!

David Clark
I got all excited the other day when I received an email from Sporty's about David Clark's new headset. It's priced at $799 and has a lot of nice features, but at that price, I was disappointed it doesn't include Noise Cancellation ala BOSE. Sport's is taking orders but can't ship until late July. Does that sound like the week of Airventure?
Someone said don't buy any new avionics until Oshkosh; that's no real surprise, but I would have thought we would have some good rumors by now!

Don, it sure does. If it didn't, I think they would have a hard time selling a $799 passive headset.  |

David Clark has ENC
Thanks, Brad. Somehow I missed the description of the David Clark headset ENC in the email I received from Sporty's and I confess I didn't take time to check the DC website. Now I'm wondering if Bose or Lightspeed will have some new products/prices at Oshkosh.

OSH Rumor Central
I heard that the G men are coming out with a 496 that is larger has an internal A/P and approach plates with free weather. And the next Turbo belchfire 400 can be built from a QB in just 7 working days!! But really, I think the actual RV-12 will be there........

Van's Product announcement
My copy of The RV Ator 3rd issue, 2006 came today. Page 10 contains a paragraph that says,
"If all goes well, we will have a significant product introduction at AirVenture 2006 -- the result of over a year's intensive work.
No, not the RV-12 (Which is not expected to be finished in time).
Something else."
What is in the works? Is it the matched hole version of the RV-8 fuselage?
