Introducing FlyLEDs

[dwranda]

Today I started assembling mine. First I used the scotchbrite wheel to ground the edges to match the 9's wing tips. Then I started in with his excellent instructions. I haven't done a lot of soldering in my life and know almost nothing about electronics. I got the strobes and the red led's soldered on. It was a blast and I love the way they look. Being able to say I built them is icing on the cake. Can't wait to keep going on them.
On a side note Paul realized my kit was shorted a couple pieces as he was assembling a kit for another customer so he emailed me about it and shipped them out same day. Great service so far!!!!

All 4 boards soldered. All work great. Lot of fun putting these together!!

From your picture I can't fault your soldering work, Dave.

Just the right amount of solder, nicely flowed and smooth joints. 10/10!

Thanks, it was very easy with those boards and your great instructions!

Looks cool, but the Products, News, Information and Contact Us sub-pages on your site are throwing 404 (not found) errors:

Thank you.
Either Wordpress or my web host was having a bad morning.

Hi all.
Firstly, to Bob (and others), the W-415 boards to suit the -4 and -6s are now ready to order!

Introducing a new product I've imaginatively called The Skinny.
Designed for those of you with landing lights already in your wingtips, and you can't bear the thought of slicing into your leading edges to move them...

The boards are sold as a $20 addition to one of our kits. Simply use the 1" wide Skinny board on your forward facing light panel instead of the regular Flyleds board.
It should leave you with plenty of room for your existing halogen lights, or even room for an LED spot light, as per the Baja Designs LED spots some of you are installing.
It won't be as bright as using the full Flyleds board, but you'll still need eye protection!

I had contacted Paul about being able to use my existing Creativair Halogens with FlyLed's. He was already in process of designing "The Skinny." Here is one mounted. The Skinny requires about an inch inboard of the light. Paul provided some heat transfer tape that allows my Alum. light mount to be used as a heat-sink for the strobes. I haven't run the (-) negative wire back through to wing the control board for the strobes, but they are very bright on the test stand. I have a 7A with Bat-Wingtips(curved trailing edge.)

G'day all.

I'll be visiting Oshkosh this year from Monday to Wednesday. (Woohoo!)

If anyone was thinking about buying a Flyleds product, I'd be more than happy to bring your kit to the show and hand deliver it to you.

That's a $30 saving in freight, or a 10% discount on a wing kit.

Actually, I'll extend the offer to: ALL orders placed before the end of Thursday 21st July will be posted for free.
There's an Oshkosh discount even if you're not attending!
(Select Oshkosh shipping, and in the order comments, write "Please post" or leave your cell number so I can find you there.)


In other news:
I have been waiting (and waiting, and waiting) for Van's to supply me with the parts required to modify the RV4/6 flat-top wings.
I will have the lenses and the last of Van's stock of the W-431 metalwork for six only kits at the show.
More lenses will be available after that, but the metalwork will be a DIY task for you instead.
Please email if you're interested!

Ordered your tail unit and received in good order, this thing is Bright! one question, is there a way to run the tail light, and then with another power lead turn on the strobe? right now it is setup to have both when power is applied but what if I want to turn off the strobe portion while we taxi at night?
