    Bill, nice update. I replaced both my landing and taxi lights with the AeroLED 1600s. They ar e REALLY bright and don't draw as nearly as many amps as the other ones. I also built a visor for the pax side GRT display, more to keep the bright sun away from the display during day VFR ops than anything, as I was someti mes having difficulty reading it from the pilot side in bright sunshine. I also angled it a little towards the pilot. Then I decided to build a hold er on top of it for my I FLY GPS unit. Here's a pic of the visor.

Haven't flown it yet, but looks to be mi ch better than the driving light, even with the HID conversion. http://youtu.be/Ez7XVVyu2U8 And lastly, the all important EFIS cover. This video really shows the refle ction off the canopy as I lift and lower the cover. http://youtu.be/9flV5mP-zJ4 I have pics of the cover, but I'm sure everyone will be unique. I just glue d some Velcro to the side of the EFIS that extends past the panel and the cov er velvet is on. It's just two layers of stiff synthetic cloth with a layer of adhesive stiffening foam between. It's just firm enough to hold shape But not pose a danger in a crash. Knock on wood.

    Last year, over one million Americans filed for bankruptcy. Contrary to popular belief, bankruptcy is not an easy way out. It carries with it some long term negative consequences. Perhaps most damaging of all, a bankruptcy negatively affects a persons credit score for up to ten years. That makes it harder to borrow money in the future and causes higher interest rates on borrowed money. In short, bankruptcy makes a persons financial life much harder for a number of years. If youve filed for bankruptcy, theres nothing you can do about the bankruptcy remaining on your credit score for a number of years, but there is much you can do to ensure a faster financial recovery and a more stable financial life in the future. Ask what led to bankruptcy When you file for bankruptcy, you will be required to undergo credit counseling. While you might feel like you dont need it, it can be a great opportunity to see some factors that may have led to bankruptcy. Contrary to popular belief, the main cause of bankruptcy isnt reckless spending but unforeseen financial hardships such as medical bills. Whatever was the cause of your bankruptcy, find it and learn from it. If it is reckless spending, learn to better manage your money. If it was circumstances outside your control, then make sure to do a better job in the future at having an emergency fund. Rebuild credit A good place to start after bankruptcy is a secured credit card. In reality it is more like a debit card in that you have to put up the money first as collateral. But with a secured credit card credit bureaus have to record your responsible use of the card. Any good use of credit is going to help you recover after bankruptcy. Pay on time When you pay your bills can have a huge effect on your credit score. Get in the habit of always paying your bills on time. Dont get in the habit of only making minimum payments either. Pay off your debts in full each month. Watch out for credit repair scams Often times after bankruptcy, credit repair companies will start contacting you. Many of these are not reputable at all. They will, for a fee, promise to help fix your credit score by giving you a new credit profile number. Sometimes this new number is actually stolen from somebody else. It is best to avoid these companies altogether and focus on improving your own financial situation by practicing responsible spending habits.
