Speaking of light bulbs;
I'm taking bright white-light diodes and putting them in my yak light
bulb (lamp) indicators like the gear and flaps. I'm breaking off the
glass portion and soldering in the diodes. They take tens of years to
burn out. They may just outlast your lifetime.
So, to answer your question, it takes one to think of the idea for a new
light bulb, another to actually build the product and make it work and
one to sell it to those who want to benefit from this promising new
product :)
I'll let the list know how it turns out.

Anyone have a damaged Yak spinner; the big one? I could use
the backing plate center section.

Was down in Palm Springs today doing some prep work for next weekends
ACM clinic. Walt Fricke is "wintering" down there for a month, so I
stopped by and picked him up. After a short visit to the air museum to
grease the wheel with there management, we went down to Thermal to meet
with Larry Gaylor who will be letting us use his hangar facility and
ramp space next weekend - if you're ever in the PSP area, stop by
Larry's hangar at TRM and say hi...a nicer guy you will not find, young
Jedi.
About a half an hour after arriving and checking out the T-28's and
L-39's that were there *this* weekend for a fly-in that Larry puts on
every year, we hear a turbo prop coming down the taxi way and Larry
hussles outside...one of the T-28 guys sarchastically says "the
maintenance crew is here!"...as I make it out the hangar door I see
Larry marshalling a King Air 350 onto his ramp. That guy wasn't
kidding! One of the T-28's that I guy just recently purchased was
having a gear indication problem and made a phone call to the outfit
that he bought it from...they put 2 mechanics on a turbo prop and flew
the 200 miles with a new micro-switch part in hand. Two hours later it
was fixed and he was flying.
My only remark to Walt was, "that's the difference between these guys
and us." Walt's response, was "yeah, our guys would have shown up in a
Studebaker!" LOL!
One T-28 nose gear micro switch $150
King Air round trip fuel bill and 2 mechanics x2 hrs to replace it.
$500
Being able to go flying again with your buddies....priceless.
There are some things money just can't buy, but not many when you can
afford same day express maintenance on a T-28! ;)
