I have one of those, for the same reasons- it works and is affordable. I'm in the process of getting a Stinson, too, so its good to see you can wear yours comfortably in yours.
I started wearing a helmet snowboarding and skiing back in 1999. I did get bugged back then. But I tell you what. Seeing stars and still wearing a helmet makes you think how bad it would have been with out one!! They ain’t called brain buckets for nothing!! Great review. I also think HJC makes great helmets. Had a few for dirt biking/street bikes and loved them.
I sure hope I never see stars wearing this helmet because if I do something has went very wrong. Though if it does happen I sure will be happy I was wearing it.
A helmet for flying never occurred to me. You video has been a success in making me consciously think about that now. Cost less than filling the airplane up with fuel? How much gas does the Stinson hold?
Well the 108-3 holds 50 gallons. I use the helmet for the unmarked/backyard/farm field landings. When just going out around Troy I don't see the risk being high enough to justify it. The STOL contests and playing ATV airplanes I sure think it makes sense.
Interesting, when I am out flying the Cessna around with friends and family I don't helmet up. I have found that when flying to peoples backyards or off field I sure like it, I also carry a trauma kit, 3 days of rations, water purification ect. in the trunk.
This is a great idea.......especially when you are practicing STOL: aggressive short landings with early braking, etc. I am a long time motorcyclist and helmets are essential. Many of the attributes and dangers of flying are similar. I think you have a great perspective. I might go without it on 100 degree days though........lol.

Really helpful review. Appreciate you putting it together. Enjoy that Stinson!
Thanks for watching and glad it helps

This thumbnail is gold, you already get an instant like!
I thought it was an awesome thumbnail! The RUclips algorithm seems to disagree. 😂

Thanks for watching. The idea wasn't mine, but I'm sure glad someone told me I'd have to wear one.
Who did you purchase this helmet
from?
I purchased it from Comtronics. It took a while to get
Genius!
I think the thumbnail will change... I'm glad you found it funny, I got a belly laugh.
What am I watching... SPACEBALLS MOVIE.
Great video
Thanks for watching. When are you going flying?
@@GreatMichiganBushCo I have no idea
I’ll ask if I can go flying this Saturday
@@thelittlebird69 I think Sunday we are flying off some lakes south of Lansing if the ice holds
I’ll ask if I can go flying that day
TL;DR : 8:06
What was too long?
