Hi Syd, Are you confident that number - 8 MPH for two landing lights? The reason I ask is that I put two landing lights on the main gear fairings of my Ercoupe (no shades) about 5 years ago and it didn't seem to make that big of a difference however; I didn't take before and after measurements.
I fly at night and also appreciate the visibility while flying here in very busy SoCal.

Each landing light assembly will cost you about 4 mph. Are you sure you want to do this?

My existing farings are in great shape so one idea was to obtain a pair of cylindrical sections that house the lights and connect them to the farings already on the main gear. Does anyone have a pair of these or perhaps the entire faring-light combo in good shape that they would consider selling? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No virus found in this incoming message.
