My questions are: 1. with a 75watt halogen is the light adequate? 2. It seems that at the very best the lights will parallel the chord vs getting the light(s) to point towards the centerline. Dose this leave a dark spot along the center line? Thanks Ed Clegg RV 8 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 02:07:40 PM PST US From: "Scott R. Shook" Subject: RV7-List: EAA Tech Counselor --> RV7-List message posted by: "Scott R. Shook" So I am done with the HS and working on the VS and wanted to know if there are any EAA tech Counselors in the Phoenix (East Valley) area with some time on their hands to come out and have a look at my progress? Also, is this a good time or should I wait until the control surfaces are done? Thoughts?

They'll stop by as often as you want. I would, however, go ahead and start on the control surface. I like to leave one major part exposed so they can see the "innards".
