Let's plan on a hot summer, and I'll take a Leiney's Honey Weiss. I look forward to meeting you. I'll bring my shades......

If you use the BuckPuck LEDdriver, all you need is 5v to trigger the external control function. It doesn't have to drive the LEDs themselves.

This is good to know. I am not an electrical engineer and I did not sleep at a Holiday Inn last night so I am needing all the information I can get to keep the smoke in.

Interesting that you post this. I just came back from a trip to Radio Shack and saw the stuff on the shelf for the same price, less shipping, that I bought it online.

Default what are the relevant FARs?

Hi guys,

I was looking through the FARs and I can't find any details on what are: the required wavelength/color of the position lights, the required brightness of the position lights/strobes/etc...

Can anyone point me to where those types of specs are called out?

thanks

Default RE:Stand OFF from Al.

Hi

I started the Pete Howell version of the led nav lights today.....

Question? What is the stand off distance between the Aluminium and the Acrylic Mirror? I would assumn the thickness of the star led.

Question? What did you folks use for the spacer in the stand off?

Frank @ 1L8 ...RV7A... engine about to start.................

Default Nylon Spacers

Frank,

I used some nylon washer/spacers from the local HW store. Small nuts will work fine, too.
