Yes, Dan, I am confident. I've done quite a bit of drag testing on
Ercoupes.

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.

Just a caution, Ed. Each landing light assembly will cost you
about 4 mph. Are you sure you want to do this?

I found two old farings with landing lights in them but I think they
are too far gone to salvage. 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?
