I pulled out all the HID brackets and put in a new homemade bracket
for the Baja
Designs Squadron PRO LED fixture. It used the same mounting holes as the
previous bracket. VERY bright. Over 4000 lumens. Of course, I'm still in
construction mode, so all I know is that it really lit up the hangar! A
bit less weight as well.

If you want insanely bright lights you can get a Duckworks kit and the Baja XL80
light. 9,500 lumens each. Its more expensive, slightly heavier than an HID setup,
draws almost 6 amps, but its so awesome!
The HID looks like a candle next to it. :)

There is an RV-12 here that has the LED cluster in the wing that seems OK.
But I'm reluctant to cut open the wing....

It varies. Pointy screws work fine.

| Subject: | Elevator Pushrod Priming? |
Has anyone primed the inside of their elevator pushrod per Van's
recommendation? If so, any quick and easy methods anyone's discovered? I
actually can't imagine why this is a recommendation unless you live in a
salt water climate.
Thanks in advance..

I did. Using a string I pulled some pads back and forth through to scuff,
did the same with some rags to clean, then soaked a rag with primer and
pulled it through a couple of times.

I primed mine per the instructions. I don't think it's so much "salt water
climate" as much as that no one is ever gonna look in there ever again.
And if it somehow did fail, it would be really bad. So it should be as
reliable as possible.

Keep in mind that the parts for the pushrod are not Alclad, and thus do
not have the corrosion resistance of the exterior skins. I wouldn't be
surprised if the tube and end caps are different Al alloys.
Van's limits primer recommendations to a very small portion of the kit,
to just those parts that have some risk of corrosion in damp air.

Same here. After primer had cured, just before inserting rod ends, I also sprayed
LPS-2 in there, just for added measure.
