Very nice Chad. You've given me some great ideas. Now I just need to figure out how to accomplish what I want to do. Thanks for the reports!

Jeff has a couple of really need products. These position lights are one, the other one I'm really interested in is the fiberglass plenum that connects to the stock engine baffles.

Nearly three years later...and I've come full circle. Again. Most of you may recall that I installed these, then sold them thinking that I wouldn't fly at night. Surprise, surprise, I changed my mind, and a set of these came up for sale from Joe Ferraro (nav's) and John Roberts (strobes). Fast forward to last night, and I have two sets of Jeff Bordelon nav/strobe lights re-installed! This time, it's the full size version...no need for an AL back-plate like I had to make before. Actually, these were a bit big, and I had to trim them down about 3/16" to fit, but they are ready to hook up...again.

Beat me to it Spike! I think I might start calling Chad Brett from now on! (little cheesehead joke there)

I have only flown in twilight once since I have been flying the RV. I am glad I have it set for night VFR, as you never know when you might be delayed getting home some evening.

You'll be glad you saw the light Brett. :P
