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.
Cheers

First the home brew landing light. Haven't flown it yet, but looks to be mi
ch
better than the driving light, even with the HID conversion.

And lastly, the all important EFIS cover. This video really shows the refle
ction
off the canopy as I lift and lower the cover.

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.

Subject: | Getting back on your feet after bankruptcy |
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.
