    Subject: Landing Light
    Hi=2C Kids! This Summer I installed an LED wig-wag landing light system on the Yak. Whi le it's great for getting the attention of other aircraft for collision-avo idance (OK - it looks cool=2C too) it does pretty much ZERO as far as illu minating the runway at night. Normally=2C I wouldn't find the need for said illumination to be so acute=2C except that my bright annunciation lighting tends to diminish my out-of-cockpit night vision. It really is just DARK i n my windscreen=2C and as the passing years render my eyes more like a mole 's than a hawk's=2C my post-twilight flare last evening was a little higher than I was comfy with - as I waited to settle to the pavement that I could a' sworn was there when I took off! That said=2C I've noticed a number of n ose gear landing light installations on other Redstar aircraft. Therefore I come to you once again to humbly seek advice on this matter. What rocks? W hat doesn't? Talk me into it - talk me out of it. As cost is always a consi deration on my shoestring budget=2C what's the best bang for my buck? Guess ing LED is the way to go. My conventional wingtip strobes make my ammeter d ance appreciably... Thank you all!

    Hey Mark... Tell me you have not grown up and turned into a boring adult!! We are pilots. We fly amongst the clouds We go where others only dream about. Enjoy life and never, never grow up. If you do you will sell your aircraft, sit on your front porch, wave at cars passing by and look upward and see us "KIDS" playing high above your front yard!!! P.S. Me and Peter Pan are good buddies!!!!

    From: Dave Laird <dave@davelaird.com>
    Hey.... I've also wondered about installing some nose gear leg / main leg la nding/taxi lights... Is it possible to use the circuit already there for th e little lights already attached to the CJ legs? Sure would be nice to just strap some new LED lights on and go! Or maybe ev en run a sense line or two to grounding switch for wigwag/ brightness?

    Way back in the Yak Pilots Association magazine was an article about putting a Beech Bonanza Landing light on the nose gear. The Bonanza's light is on the nose gear, should be able to find one in a aircraft salvage yard. Frank N23021
