To: lancair.list@olsusa.com Subject: Landing lights X-Mailing-List: lancair.list@olsusa.com Mime-Version: 1.0 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<--->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> << Lancair Builders' Mail List >> <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<--->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >> I have seen a few Lancairs with landing lights in the leading edges of the wings. I would like to install one on the outer portion of each wing on my 360 but I am concerned about heat from the bulb not being able to escape and possibly melting the lens or worse yet, blowing up my gas tank since I will have the extended range tanks, and only a thin portion of the main spar to separate them. Has anyone come up with a good design on landing lights on the wings? If so, I'd really be interested in hearing your comments and seeing your designs. Thanks in advance. Also, what type of plexiglass is the best and how did you form it? ... and fair it into the wing? Matt Reeves mreeves@nuskin.net
