Actually, I don't know. I have a vague memory of talking to some people in Atlanta, who came and did your aircraft. Professional installers. I'm pretty sure it was at least $2K, or more.

Ken, it's my understanding they are used on jets. Must be pretty good. Got no personal experience.

Come now Marc, us polocks know what we are, nothing wrong with admitting the truth. Then again, if we do well, is it such a slur?

I'm going to guess the requirements for lights is for aircraft with an electrical system? Would I win on that guess? I wonder how acceptable lights running off a small battery would be?

I won't argue about "legal". It's well spelled out. No question. However, one size does not fit all. Perhaps there should be methods for pilots to get the BFR they require. I will say, using another a

I haven't looked at the Lycoming seal, but as a general method, if very small holes can be drilled in the seal, and small screws inserted, then prying on the screws should pull the seal out. [canard-a

The first thing I'll declare is that I'm not so good with electronics. Yeah, single purpose LEDs and such can be cobbled together. But, we got self driving cars, and all types of helpful displays, and

As I read about this, something occurs to me. In my car, if the hatch back is not closed, there is an indicator on the dash panel. Seems to me to be a nice touch, even though it's not a life threateni
