Hi,
two different problems on my 9A anyone might have the answer to:
Having used CreativeAir/WhiskeyVictor?s LED nav lights, (those with strobe head mount) for not too many hours, a few of the green LED?s only light with limited strength, and a few others don?t light at all. Red one?s are all ok.
Since I soldered the LED?s on myself, it may of course be "finger trouble" - I may have damaged either the LED?s or their regulators, even thouh I was very careful.
Does anyone know the specs. (ser. no, brand) of these parts to replace, or if this would not work out, any other LED installation approx. the same size that holds the strobe in it.
I have like many of You tried to reach Bill VonDane without result.
It would be nice to be able to use my wingtips without to much modification.
My left wing is a little heavy, requiring full aileron trim to fly hands off. I have tried a temporary trim tab taped on the left aileron that solves the problem, but it doesn?t look nice. (Maybe I should just put it on the right aileron)
Have anyone tried using different left and right springs for the aileron trim system or maybe twisted the one of the gear leg fairings just a little bit? This last action may also require a rudder tab. Any other good ideas?
I am aware that my problem is best solved at the "root" which can even be a small empennage misalignment, and returning to that aileron trim tab, does anyone have good experience with wedge type trim tabs instead of the traditional ones?
Thanks for a great forum!
