Subject: | New Light Upgrades |
RV-Listers,
I posted this information to the RV-10 list in response to a discussion, and
figured you would be interested in it as well.
We recently added 35w and 50w 'Low Cost' replacement HID lights (see our
'Upgrades' page).
We have the MR-16 2" HID lights for the Tips in both wattages.
We also have GE-H3 style HID lights that are simple, direct replacements for
the Halogen bulbs in our lights.
These lights work very well, in fact Joe Blank just installed a couple in
his old RMD style wing tips using my PAR-36 Reflectors with the Low Cost 35W
HID. He reported back that he has now lifted his self-imposed 'ban' on night
landings at his home strip, since the 4" HID lights work so well.
If you do have the MR-16 tip lights, the HID is far 'brighter', cooler, uses
less power, and doesn't burn out, making the HID version a great upgrade.
OH, and we have finally joined the modern world - we just enabled Credit
Card processing on our website, on the 'Upgrades' page initially.

I know of at least one RV-7 builder who had an issue with cracking there and
decided to rebuild his h-stab. Van's did make a change in the plans
regarding better stress relief (a rounded notch) in that that area. The
change in plans showed up sometime after Sept 2001.
