Headset Holder Ultralight Aircraft FK9 Cockpit

Headset Holder for FK9 & UL Aircraft (Cockpit Organization)

This holder is a pragmatic solution to an annoying problem: headsets flying around the cockpit or ending up on the floor. Originally designed for the FK9, its simple design allows the clip to fit many common tube frames or edges in ultralight aircraft.

Why this design?

• No Frills: The part is optimized for function, not aesthetics.
• One-Hand Operation: The shape allows the headset to be hooked and unhooked blindly, even during flight.
• Secure Clamping: The upper hook is dimensioned to fit snugly without damaging the structure.

Important Printing Notes (Do not ignore!)

Anyone printing this in PLA will have problems in summer. Cockpits heat up extremely.

• Material: Minimum PETG, better ASA or ABS (due to UV resistance and heat deflection temperature). PLA will deform under direct sunlight.
• Orientation: Print the part lying on its side. This is crucial for layer stability. If you print it standing up, the hook will break along the layer lines under the weight of the headset immediately.
• Infill: 25-40% (Gyroid recommended for uniform stability).
• Wall Lines: Increase to 4 wall lines to ensure the necessary spring force and stability in the clip.

Compatibility

Tested on the FK9. Should work on all tubes/strips with a similar cross-section. If it doesn't fit for you: Scaling in the slicing software can help, but it also changes the clamping force.

Disclaimer: Every pilot is responsible for safety in their cockpit. Ensure that the holder does not block any controls or obstruct emergency exit.
