I have had the same bulb in my nose bowl light for over three years now (about
150Hrs) and it is still working....

No drag penalty if the light is in the nosebowl, but I've been told
that the bulbs don't last long due to engine vibration.

OK... What about the nose bowl option?

Cut into the beautifully flush riveted and custom painted aluminum wings of
my Ercoupe???
That's NOT going to happen gentlemen !!!! :-)
If I really needed that extra 8 MPH I'd be flying an RV.

Skyport has a kit to install them in the wings. If I was installing landing
lights I would go that way.

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 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?
