    Subject: Oshkosh
    --> Commander-List message posted by: "Randy Dettmer, AIA" <rcdettmer@charter.net> Hello Commander fans, I am planning on flying 53X back to Oshkosh, and have one more seat available (for a total of 4 of us...now that's comfort..!!)...if any of you are interested. We will probably depart SBP (San Luis Obispo, CA) on Sunday 7/31 for a leisurely 2 day journey, to arrive at OSH on Monday afternoon (the day before it opens). Then we'll head back to sunny California on the following weekend. You can join us at SBP for the departure, or if reasonably convenient, we can stop along the way to pick you up. I hope to park in the "Vintage Aircraft" area and camp under the wing. The "Vintage Aircraft" area is usually down at the approach end of runway 36, and if they park us like the last time, it will be at the end of the row (for "BIG" airplanes) - right next to the runway. In fact, it would really be cool, if we got a bunch of Commanders to go, and all park all together. What do your think..?? If anybody is interested in joining the fun and comfort of travel in a 680F (and participating in buying the gas...) shoot me an email or give me a call. Randy Dettmer 680F/N6253X 805 541 4864

    --> Commander-List message posted by: "John Vormbaum" <john@vormbaum.com> Randy, I say this every year, but if I can swing it, I'm going to try to fly 3CC to the event with a couple of friends. Perhaps off-list we can get together to discuss camping spots/parking etc. I'll know how feasible the trip will be by late next week, probably. I can give you a call after that to chat. /J ----- Original Message ----- From: "Randy Dettmer, AIA" <rcdettmer@charter.net> Subject: Commander-List: Oshkosh > --> Commander-List message posted by: "Randy Dettmer, AIA" <rcdettmer@charter.net> > > Hello Commander fans, > I am planning on flying 53X back to Oshkosh, and have one more seat > available (for a total of 4 of us...now that's comfort..!!)...if any of you > are interested.

    Subject: Long-life white LED replacements for #327 bulbs
    --> Commander-List message posted by: <dfalik@sbcglobal.net> I discovered that these bulbs are not applicable to all applications of the #327 28 volt bulbs. Be advised that these bulbs will not work in the eyebrow units that light all the instruments in my 500 shrike. They will work only in the push to test and the post light units. It must have something to do with how the bulbs ground in the eyebrow light units. I ordered 25 of them thinking I could use them in the eyebrows. If anyone wants them let me know. -----Original Message----- From: owner-commander-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-commander-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Stan Subject: Commander-List: Long-life white LED replacements for #327 bulbs --> Commander-List message posted by: "Stan" <swperk@earthlink.net> Hi all, I just acquired a bunch of white LED lamps that are direct replacements for the standard #327 28-volt bulbs that we all have in our Commanders. Compared to the incandescent #327 bulb, these are brighter, whiter in color, use a *lot* less current and therefore run a *lot* cooler, are immune to shock and vibration, and for all practical purposes will never burn out (rated MTBF is >100,000 hours). I changed out all of the bulbs in my "push-to-test" indicators, and they are now not only brighter and easier to see in daylight, but I'll never have to worry about a failed bulb scaring me into thinking that one of my wheels is not down and locked. I have more of these lamps than I'll ever need, and I'd be happy to sell them at my cost of $2.50 each, plus postage. It may or may not seem a bit pricey (depending on how long you've been around airplanes), but for reference, one LED lamp is priced between $7 and $10 from the distributors. And just think--you'll never have to change one of these again! If you're interested, please e-mail me. Stan N548GQ

    Subject: Long-life white LED replacements for #327 bulbs (Part
    Deux) --> Commander-List message posted by: "Stan" <swperk@earthlink.net> Hello Group! I have just acquired the second (and probably the last) lot of #327-style 28-volt LED lamps. If you want some and haven't gotten them from me yet, please let me know and I'll set them aside. Even if you asked me earlier to reserve some for you, please let me know again so that I can be sure 1) that you still want them, and 2) that you will get them. All of the people who have paid me for these lamps should already have received them from me. If not, please let me know right away. As I said in my original posting to the group, I installed these LED lamps in my plane to replace the #327 bulbs in the "push-to-test" landing gear indicator lights and a few other "push-to-test" indicator lights. I did not try them in any other applications, such as instrument post lighting, instrument eyebrow lighting, internal instrument or radio lighting, instrument panel backlighting, other types of indicator or warning lamps, or anywhere else. I recently received one anecdotal report from someone who tried them in eyebrow instrument lights and thought that they did not provide adequate illumination. After receiving this report and examining the lamps more closely, I concluded that the inadequate illumination was probably because these LED lamps are designed so that most of their light radiates from the end of the lamp, with a lot less light radiating out the sides. Therefore, please be aware that there may be some limitations in using these bulbs in applications other than the push-to-test (or similar style) indicator lights. I can't possibly test these lamps in every possible application, so please keep the above in mind when you order them. However, in the interest of TCFG peace and harmony, in case you should find--or have already found--that these LED lamps are unsuitable for your needs, just return them to me and I'll cheerfully refund your money. Regards, Stan
