Jay, (and others), I just stuck that wing into the fuselage
outside around dusk and went out in front of the plane about 60 feet. I
moved the light so the low beam hit me direct near the ground and the
high beam was nearly waist high at the same distance. Should be fine.

Jay I haven't done it yet but I realized that I couldn't find how to aim them anywhere.
Then it dawned on me that there are plenty of aircraft at the airport
so my plane is a follows. Find an airplane that has them aimed correctly. Then
get the pilot to turn on the taxi light see where it hits the ground. Repeat
process with landing light.

Mike, it is very possible. It is, however, a bit close
quartered in there, but very do-able. I think I have a pic of my
endeavor on my site.

Mike,
Patience is the first tip I can give you. The other is a tool that is not found
in most tool boxes. I pulled a neat tool out of a trash bin that can help with
all sorts of safety wire jobs. From a distance, it looks like a screwdriver.
The tip end is like a small flat disc with two small holes in it. The two
holes get safety wire inserted in them and you twist the handle. It is really
handy for tight places. The 2007-2008 Aircraft Spruce shows one on page 603
for $13.60.
My prop hub safety wire job is not the prettiest, but it is passable. I mainly
wired mine because the Jabiru installation manual said it could not be done with
the deeper prop hub. That kind of a challenge is all I needed. Plus, I was
not comfortable with just locktite on the bolts.
Good luck,
DaveG

I've seen Jim from Jabiru Pacific safety the deeper extensions. One trick he
recommended was to twist the wires backwards to make them lay better.
Quality Sport Planes just held their Jabiru FWF class with Jim. Did anyone
attend?

| Subject: | Garmin 250XL internal battery |
I asked this on the avionics list but got no replies, so I will try
here.
I understand there is an internal battery for the memory of the user
input stored data. I have had my 250XL for about 5 years and it works
great.
Has anybody had to replace this battery and if so what and where is the
battery? Is it difficult to replace?
Thanks,

They had nothing posted other than they were shooting for 800# empty weight on
the production model.
It's about 43" wide at the rear of the doors and appears in general to be about
10% larger all around. The rudder looks the same although the wings and horiz
stab wider and have a longer chord and are much more like the 801 in constructions
(no solid rivets at the TE).

Congratulations Floyd. I know exactly how you feel... the next several
flights will feel much better. My first one, I felt like a toy on the end
of a string! Then I started to get the hang of it and it now feels great!
