Radio noise when Cub flying with the window open?#1479616 By rusty eagle - Thu Aug 25, 2016 7:37 am Like Thu Aug 25, 2016 7:37 am #1479616 I seem to have a lot more radio noise when flying an L4 Cub with the window open. Is this a common problem and what can I do about it?

Yeah, I did find that while checking for poor plug connection. So flying on a hot day with the window open and passive headset is a poor combination. johnm liked this
