Anyone installed a landing light flasher?
Thanks for letting me know Jim. I've got lots of project to keep me busy
also. -- Best Regards, Mike. http://flickr.com/photos/mikenoel/ "RST Engineering" wrote in message m... Mike ... I've got some work that is going to keep me out of commission for about a week. I haven't gotten your SASE yet and I'm about to start that week. Don't think I've forgotten about you.

I'll post my own experiences when I get the flasher circuit built and installed. -- Best Regards, Mike. http://flickr.com/photos/mikenoel/ "Jay Honeck" wrote in message news:OiXul.612068$yE1.503051@attbi_s21... I installed AvTek's Pulsar on our Pathfinder a couple of years ago. It works great in conjunction with our wingtip landing lights, wig-wagging them so that we look like a 737 on short final. AvTek's owner (Mike Peter) is fantastic to work with. We managed to hook it up backwards and blew out the mosfet circuitry. No problem -- mailed it back to Mike, he repaired and mailed it back -- no charge. He's truly one of the good guys in GA, and he caters to Cherokee owners. (By the way -- contact him directly through his website -- he'll beat that $320 price by a long ways.) Although it sounds like you got the best deal of all from Jim -- it's hard to beat free! :-) Forget that "30 minutes to install" stuff. Mine said TWENTY minutes on the packaging -- and it took more like half a day. Any time you try to do ANYTHING behind the panel of a 30+ year old Cherokee, it's a cluster f*ck, and hooking these *******s up means connecting little-bitty wires to the back-side of the landing light switch. That, my friend, is no fun at all, unless you have teeny-tiny fingers and don't mind doing a 30-minute half-sit-up while working 14 inches from your face with cruddy lighting. Still, it was well worth the effort. We hear from controllers and other traffic about how noticeable we are -- and that's what it's for. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 Ercoupe N94856 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
