Default Fly leds

I picked up the "works" kit at Oshkosh. Had a great conversation with Paul who answered all of my questions. Finally got around to installing it this week. Very straight forward install. It took a while to understand how to interface the switches and wiring from the Vans landing lights and Whelen strobes that I was replacing but everything worked on the first try! Very bright.

Update, I did some night landings to try out the new flyleds. They work great! I really like the flood option, when flaring for a three point landing it really lights up the area visible to the side if the plane.

Just a caution - on most RVs the strobes are the only anti-collision lights (assuming there is no tail beacon). In the US you?re supposed to have anti-collision lights for night ops, so you probably shouldn't be operating them in flood mode in flight.
