And, it will be much better advice than the mob you see on that other group.

Welcome, Mike! If you're just getting started be sure to check out whitearmor.net. There is a lot of great info there on selecting your armor and getting started.

Hi Kyle, since you'll be joining the MWG, you can go to the private group for MWG Anovos builds at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/172465196455783/

I don't know of any party planned, but if you are going to be joining the MWG, you can visit the MWG Anovos private group on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/groups/172465196455783/

A lot of troopers do use microphones with their armor, but the speaker is generally not in the helmet. There is one 501st member who makes hovi tip microphones, but most go with an external amp. Do a search on the whitearmor.net boards for microphone, or speaker, or Aker and you will see lots of dis...

Looking really cool. I can't wait to see what it looks like when you start putting it all together.

I have heard that this tailor in Woodfield mall is very, very good. I stopped by their place once, and they appear to be professional tailors, unlike the people who sometimes work at dry cleaners. However, I think they are a bit pricey.

Welcome, Jack! I look forward to seeing your build and meeting you. This is a great group and you'll love trooping.

Ok, if you want any help in taking a look at it and trying it out, I'm happy to help. The only negative I've seen with Tapatalk is that it affects ad revenue of forums that are connected, but since we don't show ads, it doesn't make any difference to us. I think it would make viewing on mobile devic...

Has it been considered to add the Tapatalk plugins to our forum? For those who are not familiar, Tapatalk is an app that allows multiple forums to be followed and viewed on your mobile device.

I suggest posting on whitearmor.com and asking opinions there. They can't say whether will be a approved or not, but you'll get some good opinions and some quick replies.

I am having the same problem as 9965. The unit transmits but no static. I have figured out that it is because it is registering in the unit as always "live" and transmitting. Since it is never sensing the end of the transmission, it is never triggering the static burst. Maybe there could be a way to...

TK0000,<br><br>My friend works for eBAy, so he told me all about this. eBay does not allow any mentioning of any additional fee regardless of the what it is for. He said the way around this if you need to is shipping and handling. They state that S&H should be fair, but they have no rules for how to...

I ordered mine 1/2 to 1 size bigger than I usually would. Then I put an insole in for better cushion and support.

I wouldn't put a bead on the outside of the seam after already assembling it. Remember that the ABS glue melts the plastics together. You don't want melted ABS showing on the outside of your helmet! <p>Jim - TK159<br>......................................................................................
