David Clark H10-36 “Best Value” Helicopter Headset (12508G-20) U-174 Plug
The David Clark H10-36 “Best Value” Helicopter Headset (12508G-20) is a dependable passive helicopter headset built for clear communication, long-wear comfort, and proven durability. Designed specifically for rotorcraft pilots, it features a single U-174/U plug and a flexible 5-foot coil cord—making it a trusted choice for flight schools, operators, and everyday helicopter flying.
Helicopter-ready connection: Single U-174/U plug fits standard rotorcraft audio and intercom systems
Reliable noise reduction: Certified NRR 24 dB helps reduce rotor and engine noise for improved focus
Balanced audio control: Dual volume controls allow independent adjustment for each ear
Built as the helicopter version of David Clark’s popular best-value pilot headset line, the H10-36 delivers professional-level performance without unnecessary complexity. Its dual-ear, over-the-head design provides a stable fit during flight operations, while strong passive noise attenuation helps reduce distractions in high-noise rotorcraft environments. The amplified dynamic noise-canceling microphone is engineered to minimize background noise and keep your transmissions crisp and intelligible over the intercom. Comfort features like a cushioned head pad and undercut Comfort-Gel ear seals make it an excellent option for long training days, utility operations, and cross-country rotorcraft flights. With the U-174/U helicopter plug and rugged coil cord, the David Clark H10-36 is a smart, reliable headset for pilots who want value, comfort, and durability in one proven design.
I purchased the David Clark H10-36 headset for my son and he was so happy this Christmas (2024) when he was presented with it. Very good vender that I will share with him if he needs anything in his future as he continues pursuing his helicopter license.
I built this kit as a teenager most of 55 years ago. The kit is essentially the same, but now they’re laser cut. In the past, the panels were die-cut, sometimes you get one done with a dull cutter. That took a lot of extra time, carefully re-scoring everything with a narrow Exacto blade so the pieces wouldn’t split. This kit is so crisp, it’s a joy to assemble. It’s fun seeing old reflexes come to life while assembling this baby. I only have the FW-190 from those years, but also built this one (the Hellcat), the Spitfire, Me-109, and the P-40. Good times!
Pilots HQ had the best price on the pump needed to replace the one on my plane that was failing. It actually shipped ahead of schedule, arrived quickly to my IA who was ale to install it and get me back in the air in a timely manner. Great service and price.
