Subject: Re: RV-List: Off Topic: Hanger Lighting
Living in a residential airpark I've got to see a variety of lighting. All of the
hangars on my street are the same dimensions, 45'x40', 15' ceilings.? Stock
lighting was 6 -2 bulb 4' flourescent fixtures. This is inadequate. One of my
neighbors went with 6 -4 bulb 4' fixtures and this improved things greatly but
still wasn't ideal.
?
By far the best lighting I've seen is large Halogen fixtures. My next door neighbor
has them and his lighting is unequalled. Another followed his lead but added
a couple of extra fixtures. He has light.
?
Another huge factor is the floor. My floor is epoxy and gray in color with a slight
gloss finish. My next door neigbor (with the halogens) floor is tan, leaning
toward a more yellowish tint with very little gloss.?Although the lights are
white the hangar has a yellowish tint when the lights are on.
?
The other neighbor who added halogens has a light blue floor with light gloss.
He has the best lighting on the block.
?
If doing again, I'd go with the halogens despite the added cost. The lighting is
incredible. The fixtures hang down from the ceiling making bulb changes although
my neighbor hasn't had any bulb failures in 6 years. Good lighting makes
things so much nicer. I'm going to go with the halogens before next summer.

Negative, Sam James. Tracy has pants from Lightspeed Engineering. Klaus
developed them to go fast on EZs. He sells them on his website. Don't
know the price without looking.
Tracy made the original fiberglass gear leg fairings and I think his
daughter still offers them along with his side mounted throttle
quadrant. Check the yeller pages for contact info.

Hangar lighting is simple and cheap...good hangar lighting is a bit more
complex and costs a little more.

The very same tool will both punch and dimple a skin next to that
freshly match drilled hole and of course violate edge distances in the
process. :) Of course I only know that from this list. NOT!

Sam,
You know that the accuracy of the GPS coupled to the autopilot is probably what
caused the Brazilian GOL 737, and the Embraer Legacy 600 Collision in October
06 both were at 37,000 feet and on opposing courses between Brasilia and Manause,
both probably used the airport coordinates in a common data base. There
are probably not more than 75 airplanes in the air in northern Brasil at one time.
Sometimes being accurate down to the micron is not good, and being able
to fly an offset course is good. The Trio will do that easily all day long.
Just a thought. Trying to justify being a sloppy pilot }:>)
Bob Perkinson
I still marvel at how a sub-$2000 autopilot can hold my plane within a
wingspan of the course line with an inexpensive handheld GPS providing
the data! How many King Airs and Citations can match that? :-)
