My 415-D has the lights on the wheel fairings, one on each side. One points slightly more downward than does the other. I kind of like the landing gear installation (with one on each gear leg) since people in front of me can see my bank angle. And, I have some apparent size and reality rather than being a formless point in the sky. I've heard it said there's enough drag from this installation to slow you down some small amount compared to a wing installation. Now, if you put a light in each wing tip, they'd think you were an airliner coming toward them and give you some real respect. I've heard of a couple of people encountering idiot FAA inspectors who refused to sign off even a well installed wing light installation. Whatever you do, ask around about the more reasonable FAA people, make your drawings and take them to the right person __before__ you cut metal. --------------------------------- to unsubscribe send mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ___________________________________________________________ T O P I C A The Email You Want. http://www.topica.com/t/16 Newsletters, Tips and Discussions on Your Favorite Topics
