CMW Aviation Supplies Offers a Wide Choice of Headsets

Warren Delp Offers Top Service



Warren Delp Aviation-Headset.com is an on-line aviation supply store operated by CMW Aviation Supplies, Inc. We represent excellent aviation products from manufacturers who provide quality products, service and support.

When CMW Aviation Supplies decided to establish aviation-headset.com we planned to represent just a few very good products. We realized that by limiting the number of products we sell we would also limit our potential for a large sales volume. However, we believe that by limiting our selection to a few good products that we know intimately we will be able to provide the service and support a customer deserves. If we provide quality products and unsurpassed service we think our company will grow without losing sight of our goals, which are to provide excellent products, warm and friendly service, and customer support all at a fair price!

As President of CMW Aviation Supplies, Inc., it will be my privilege to serve you. Over the past twenty-five years I have been a "Road Warrior" for many of the aviation distributors. Before going into avionics sales I was a pilot for several corporations and served as Director of Aviation for a large charter and flight training school in the Northeast. Due to health reasons, at the age of 68, I retired to sunny Venice, Florida to enjoy the warmer climate and to pursue my dream of starting up this little business. Little is exactly how I want it to be. Service, support and knowledge of product seem to be a thing of the past nowadays and here at CMW we would like to change that. I will be the one who takes your order, and I will gladly try to answer your questions and resolve your challenges.

Whether you visit our web site to purchase one of our fine products, or just to get information, I will do my best to provide you with prompt and courteous service. Remember, after twenty-five years of selling I have a vast knowledge of aviation products and information. Thank you for visiting aviation-headset.com.

Never Before Seen Video of the Japanese Surrender

Fellow veterans of all services---

What a moment in history!  What it must have been like to be aboard this ship on that day!!!! 

 This  is an actual film made of the surrender ceremony of the Japanese to McArthur in  Tokyo Bay in September 1945.  Actual voice of the General.  Never  been shown  to the general public before.  We always saw the "stills" but never the  film itself.


If  you are a history buff you will enjoy it. In the end, MacArthur asked God to preserve “Peace” for eternity.

Historical  Footage: Japanese Surrender Signing Aboard Battleship Missouri Sunday  Sept. 2, 1945.

Exclusive Video: Using a Portable GPS for Valley Flying — TAA Thinking

Original, Exclusive Videos from AVweb


IFR magazine's Jeff Van West shows how a portable GPS can be used to evaluate what altitudes will be safe for flying up valleys (without actually changing altitudes) and how to use the GPS while in those valleys to enhance safety and situational awareness.If you enjoy this video, be sure to check out our sister publication, IFR magazine.



Heeman's "Flying" Hovercraft"


New Zealander (he's half Australian) Rudy Heeman has, over 11 years, transformed his hovercraft into a wing-in-ground-effect vehicle, and now it's for sale. Heeman says he's found the ideal flight altitude under the vehicle's 7-meter wingspan to be about 1.5 meters, over flat water or land, where he reached a top speed of about 60 mph in a test. It will hop small bushes or short trees and, yes, Heeman has hit shrubbery with it (and continued to a safe landing). Theoretically, the pilot plus one vehicle can cruise at about 55 mph for roughly 140 miles. The project includes parts from six different cars, including what was originally a 1.8-liter Subaru engine, and a gas bottle from an old barbeque. Its wings consist of what appear to be a front and rear aluminum tube spar, foam/fiberglass ribs (four per side, plus an end rib) and zip-to-close fitted fabric covering -- all of which separate for storage/transport. The vehicle is controlled by rudder and elevator, actuated by a control wheel (no rudder pedals). The cockpit includes a GPS and engine gauges, but Heeman has included other creative refinements.To better manage the aircraft in flight, and improve its performance, Heeman has created a system that allows him to retract the hovercraft's skirt while in flight to reduce drag. He's also devised a "thrust diverter" that at the same time "converts lift air to thrust when flying." The vehicle operates under New Zealand's rules for boats, according to a recent SkyNews report, even when flying with its removable 23-foot wing attached. Heeman has put about 150 hours on the craft. Last we checked, the vehicle's auction (plus trailer) had attracted a bidder at $26,800. The sale includes training ... and a liability disclaimer, "which must be signed on pickup" according to Heeman
