Hi all!

I need a helmet. Helmets are required in Canada to fly basic ultralights and I do not have a headset yet either so I am considering purchasing a surplus fighter pilots helmet with integral headset. I am NOT talking about some vintage 1960's MIG helmet but 1980's-1990's NOS units that are sometimes quite reasonably priced considering they come with headphones and mic.(200$-300$)

Am I nuts? I am a whiz with a soldering iron so I am not too worried about connectors but I have no idea if the mic and speakers would be compatible with modern civil radios. Would they have active noise cancelling?

Any thoughts?
