| Subject: | New landing light for the RV-7 and -8 |
HI!
I just saw that Vans has a new landing light system in their online-store.
It's designed for installation in the wing tips (2 in each), gives a total of 300W
(4 x 75W)
It can only be installed in the new wingtips with the straight TE. (W-715-1)
Has anyone experience with this product?
Is it better than the Duckworks 100W for example? Easy to install?
It appeals to me that I don't have to cut in the nice LE of my QB-wings... and
more light ofcourse.
Best regards Alf Olav Frog / Norway

Ordered these, and when they came in I hooked them up to measure "in
rush current" as I noticed that they are the high wattage minature
halogen. In rush current was greater than 20 amps for about 8 seconds
until they came up to full bright. I then measured the in rush current
for the Duckworth and found that the current barely exceeded 10 amps for
less than a second. Also the heat generation in the confined space in
the wing tip and the fact that the composite laminate of the wing tip
was barely adequate for the loads, I felt that I should just go with the
Duck lights in the wings. Sent the other lights back.
That's just my opinion

Larry,
I did some searching and finally ordered a Bogert towbar from ACS (their #
13-01811 for $74.00). Short story was it didn't work properly so I called
Richard Bogert, the owner, and he sent me modified parts at no charge which
solved the problem after I re-drilled the pivot hole to fit my wheel pant.
I also clamped on a simple stop per his suggestion to hold the bar in closed
position so it won't pop off when steering the nosewheel. I think he may be
adding a stop/latch in the future. If he does, it will be one trick unit.
Lightweight, good quality, and collapsible for stowing in the baggage
compartment. I would give him a call. He is super nice. info@bogert-av.com
or 509-736-1513.
Regards,
Scott Diffenbaugh

I do not have any experience with the product that Vans sells but the
Creativair.com landing lights look very similar.

Dave is correct... the rudder skin goes OVER the counterbalance skin.
This has been brought up several times in several places, all with the
same conclusion... the dashed lines on the plans indicate the rudder
skin is on top of counterbalance skin.
If you do as Dave says and taper the counterbalance skin, as the plans
indicate, you will be surprised at how flat the rudder skin sits on top
of the counterbalance.
But hey, don't take our word for it... call Van's if you need
verification.
Good luck!

A friend has wing tip landing lights. They don't really light up front and
center all that well because the notched tip introduces its own obstruction.
It's not unusable for that flaw, and they are nifty otherwise. I wanted to
be sure of plenty of forward light, so I went with duckworks HID in the
leading edge. Mine are only lighting up my shop at this point...
