Landing Lights

[Bryan Cotton]

My Fresh Aero lights have two separate brackets - one on each side. Works well.
I mail my pictures to myself. Apple lets you reduce size when you mail. Then save the smaller picture back to your photos. That is one way to trim file size.

Gotta say that I liked the duckworks installation on my Sonex. Pretty straightforward and well thought-out. Lots of little details to consider that I hadn't thought through until the kit came. My first reaction was "wow, why so many parts?" - but then as I assembled it I realized that everything had a purpose. It works as-advertised (at least in tests while in the wing-cradle; my Sonex is not finished yet)!

You might be able to save a few $$ rolling your own landing-light; but you'll burn a lot of extra time figuring out your custom installation. It comes down to priorities: Are you more interested in the process of building and tinkering, or is getting the thing in the air more-important to you?

I ended up buying Duckworks a few minutes ago. Couldn't figure out how I could get my lens pressed into the backside of the LE without another access hole. More to follow....

Seems to me like I remember using safety wire with hooks on the end that I pivoted and then pulled out after lens was in place. Installed Duckworks in my Onex.

Hmm...could I get some more color on that?

Duckworx is a nice kit, but its a real pain to fit the lens in at the end. Like building a ship in a bottle.

That's exactly my problem. Figured Duckworks had somehow solved it.

I made up several new words while installing mine.
