----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]---- Blaine, Don' you just love the night stuff. I don't have a strobe, so haven't gone up in the Coupe at night. I'm starting to thing about putting them on. By the way, are you aware of the Fly-in in Heber City in two weeks? Call the airport up there. It's antique and classic aircraft. Think I'll go up on the 23rd. Might even fly her up and let her be judged. Won't win any thing, but it'll be fun.
