| Subject: | Aiming Taxi and Landing lights |
Hi Guys,
I am at the 90% done, 90% to go stage. I have installed the ZAC
supplied landing light option in both wings so I have a total of four
bulbs, two each taxi and landing on outboard area of left/right wings.
Do any of you guys have suggestions for how (and at what focal point in
front of plane) to properly aim the beams?
Any help and/or suggestions are very much appreciated.

Yeah, man, get it on! MY fighter-style control stick used to be from a
video game, came from e-bay, cost less than $20, and has a four-way hat
switch for trim, a PTT, a flaps down, a flaps up, and a leftover real
neat trigger, for either the guns or the missiles. Once you strip it out
of the base, you get a stick handle with all those micro switches, whose
cumulative value exceeds cost.
It works, and it's cheap, so what's not to like?

Trim, Flaps, PPT on my stick. Woohooo! I also have a switch on
stick that cuts out the flaps so I can't hit them by accident.

Carlos,
Are you planning to control your radar, missiles and machine
guns from that stick ? (;>)
Seriously, why do you need anything more that a PTT button on
the stick ?

Subject: Zenith-List: wiring the control stick
Hello,
What have you used for wiring the control stick?
At this time I still don't know what buttons I will have on it
(other than PTT), but I would like to do the wiring once. Period. I am
going to use a Tosten grip (
http://www.tostenmanufacturing.com/catalog/aircraft-grips/ ) which comes
wired with 10 wires 16 AWG. (I probably won't use all of the buttons,
but better have too many than wish I had bought a grip with one more
button.)
I am interested on the wiring used (multi-conductor cable? a
bunch of single conductors? type, source?) and the connector. (The
multi-conductor cables I found on the 'net are sold in spools, the
smallest 100' long.)
I saw today a cable with D-sub 15 connectors ( like this:
http://images.pcworld.com/howto/graphics/193829-belkin_pcmonitor_606_ori
ginal.jpg ) that I could cut and attach the shorter length to the grip
and use the longer piece to connect to the panel. Problem is (is it?)
that the wires are too thin...
Interested in not reinventing the wheel...
Thanks for your comments
Carlos
