    Thanks Tommy, I guess I never thought of checking with ZAC. I'll make some calls on Monday. PS, Flight Crafters in FL has a used 914 for sale. I think he is asking 20k (cost close to 30k new) Mike H Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=220378#220378

    I have not built that part yet, but from the way its drawn I'd say that the outboard rivets are a good safe edge distance in, with respect to 1C7-5 and the inboard ones are 30mm in and the same good safe edge distance from the edge for both 1C7-5 and 1C 7-4. do not archive Kevin -------- Mark Twain: Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do.

    Subject: Landing light cowl location
    Vic, I was asking the same question a few weeks back. Here are some links to some pictures of what I did: http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee150/charlievictor102/100_2982.jpg http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee150/charlievictor102/100_2984.jpg http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee150/charlievictor102/100_2987.jpg http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee150/charlievictor102/100_2989.jpg http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee150/charlievictor102/100_2990.jpg The wing is upside down on my bench. I used the guts from a PIAA P.N. 2112 driving light. I broke the glass lenses out and pretty much only used the reflector and light fixture. It's mounted on a bracket so I can tilt it up and down. I will cut a slot in the skin if I need to move left or right. I have no idea if the angle is even close. http://www.piaa.com/Lamps/Lamp-pages/2100.html I had some trouble shaping the polycarbonate cover using a heat gun. So I made the jig shown below, clecoed the plastic sheet to it, and then baked it for about 1/2 hour at 325 degrees F (while wife was at work). The plastic drooped down over the jig pretty well. http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee150/charlievictor102/100_2985.jpg I talked to someone that was using an LED light and they said that the beam was not narrow enough.

My next burning decision is if I should mount my landing/taxi lights in the slat or cowl . I like the new LED "pucks" which are suppose to be vibration resistant, small and low power draw. I was wondering if anyone with the new style cowl installed on the their 701 could advise if there is sufficient room to instal 3" diameter by 1" deep LED lights in the nose of the cowl on either side of the center line. Seen pics with the old style cowl but not with the new slimmer cowl. Thanx Vic 701 tail done skinning wings Whitehorse Yukon at -35 C yikes!

    Have you turned the light on yet?

    No. I have not tested it for heat yet.
