Hi All,
I wanted to hear from taildragger pilots out there about how adequate your landing/taxi lights are while taxiing in the 3-point attitude. I've got RV-14 QB wings and am working on the light mounts. I'm using the standards Vans supplied dual AeroLED Sunspot 36LX landing lights. AeroLED makes a taxi light version of this 36LX light as well with a wider horizontal beam.
1. When using these dual landing lights is there enough adjustability in tilt to adequately light the taxiway in the 3-point attitude?
2. Has anyone swapped out one 36LX landing light for a 36LX taxi light version? Seem like mounting this on the left side would make some sense.
This may be a non-issue since Vans supplies dual landing lights and no dedicated taxi light. I called AeroLED and they said they don't get queries about this either. A tri-gear probably would have no problem. A taildragger with its nose pointed up in the air may be a different issue.
I appreciate everyone's time and responses.
Cheers,
Scott
