Re: Nav/Strobe Lights
The experimental lighting manufacturers often make two versions of their position/strobe lights: TSO'd and non-TSO'd. For experimentals, position/strobe lights are one of the few areas in the FAR's that are required to be TSO'd if used at night (daytime you can do whatever you want). I'm not making...

Re: Nav/Strobe Lights
Thanks for the clarification Mike; I'll have to dig out the specs I received from AeroLED and bump it with the requirements. Pretty sure I will be ok. I think I'll start hitting up the FSDO next time one of the inspectors is in town doing a FAA wings presentation. Never to early to get them "p...

And one of my EGT probes was measuring the inside of my cowl before it got installed. It was running about 130 deg F on average.

Re: Prop Hub Bolt: How to hold crank while tightening?
Can't you just put the crank in a vise to hold it while you tighten down the bolt? Most surfaces of the crank are critical wearing surfaces. Would not be a good idea to use a vice. Besides, half the weight of the engine is in the crank. It's heavy! Tough to hold such an animal in the average work b...
