What about aiming them? Is this similar to auto lights where you aim lights at a wall and measure up so far to be in correct alignment? I am wondering about aiming each light for a different purpose one for landing and the other for runway illumination . Good or bad idea? I have also installed a flasher system for better recognition. Anyway anyone that has been there and done that...how did you go about it. Any measurements that would be helpful. Sincerely Doyal R.

It is a very slow build kit. I would appreciate some advice on rivet tools. What rivet gun seems to be the best all around as far as versatility and longevity? Which seems to have the best trigger? Is a 1X enough? Is 3X too much? What rivet sets are the most useful and which are useful in some limited uses? Long sets, offset sets, C frame sets, swivel sets, cushioned sets. Any other accessory that any of you found useful or would have liked to have to make setting a particular rivet easier? What size yokes are useful or needed in some locations on a pneumatic rivet squeezer or on a hand rivet squeezer? I apologize if you get several copies of this message. I am subscribed to several RV lists. Thank all of you for the information and encouragement. Lyle Peterson
