Will do. Hopefully should get some time at the hangar this weekend, though the weather isn't looking like a flight will be possible.

Understood, good advice.

I was hoping that shot would show a feel for the lines, I am looking forward to when I get the aft section built out and the stringers on so I can...

Nothing wrong. LEDs aren't equal. Shopping price isn't always the best path. That's all I meant.

I know what I want, what's wrong with a bargain? I see AeroLed's landing lights vary $200 from one vendor to another.

Try shopping with your eyes instead of looking for bargains. Anti collision lights need to be bright. Brighter is better. You can't see the...

I'm thinking SunNFun might bring some deals

Can you tie the old wire to new and pull them into place? Check the routing of your lights power wires and the antenna coax. They might be bundled...

Sounds like I don't want to mess with pulling new wiring then. I'll see if I can find the aeroLEDs for a more reasonable price. The Whelen Chroma...

Looking good. Those longerons are "swoopie".

Thanks for the numbers. I knew it was something like that but I wasn’t sure the numbers. I still have to build a baffle at the exhaust from the...

A few pics after some welding this morning, the front end is almost complete as far as tubes go. I am waiting on the material to make the...

Actually couldn't get past looking at the main focus of the camera.

I wish I had one source to go to. I'm in the same boat as you, as I have to shop around for any particular model. Try to catch a sale or show prices....

Nav lights are not anti collision lights. However the terminology used is 'anti collision lights'. What are strobes for? To keep people from...

I've had that same report from friends who've installed LED nav lights. EMI, static, whatever....noise on the radio is noise on the radio.

Describe the noise? It goes on/off only with the LED's? It's a pain to pull a new wire into a covered wing, but that's what the fishing pole is...

The Aircraft Spruce catalog has a whole page devoted to anti-collision light coverage. Page 627 in my 2016-17 catalog. From their drawings, it...

Correct, it's no longer a shield but the technique works. Still only a single path to ground for the light so it does not produce a squeal in the...

Opportunity to brag here. My personal record is 888 mph in a Cessna..., Citation X from Georgia to NY. It was about 17 yrs ago when the ride was...

anyone notice the nice moguls in the background?

If I go with the Tailbeacon, I will disconnect the aft nav light from the nav light switch, and connect it to a 1A breaker on the avionics master...
