I was looking at Marks web site and in particular, the Super Bright Wide Angle LED lamp to his rudder. The LED lamp is an 1156 automotive. It is the wide angle design which gives a full light effect of 120 degrees and can be seen 180 degrees. My question is what is the normal usage for this light. Is it stop lamp, turn or backup. Normally the Stop light is brighter then a regular tail light. All of my position lights are stop/ tail lights with the two solder pointes joined into one, so that when switched on, all the elements illuminate. I use normal aircraft clear, red and green lenses over the auto bulbs. Your light looks really bright and perhaps I could get more light if I switch.

The LED does look bright in the photo but I have done testing between the LED and the standard 1156 bulb and have determined that I prefer the standard bulb. I honestly believe that it has greater visibility in all directions. I am currently running the standard 1156.

Thirty minutes later, N886MJ returned to the earth and the pilot had one of those big KR/Corvair grins across his face that still has not faded away. So here it is guys and gals............................. YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I am now a true KR pilot. Does that mean I have to sing at this years gathering? Joe Weber flew in from southwest Wisconsin to witness the event. He even got the take off on video (which I have viewed at least 20 times since I have been home). The KR flew better than I ever expected. Take off and climb out were smooth as glass and absolutely no porpoising. I had intended to stay in the pattern and make one circuit and land but the plane felt so good that I made two circuits around the airport then left the pattern and headed north of the airport. My carb is an Ellison EFS2 which is a little too small for the Corvair but still yielded me a cruse at wide open throttle of 144 mph with the Sterba 56 x 64 prop I have. My static rpm is 2650 but I can not tell you my cruise rpm yet as I forgot to look. CHT temp at cruise was dead on 300°, oil temp at cruise was 180°, oil pressure at cruise was 50 psi, exhaust temp was around 1200° (I did not write that down but called it out to Joe down on the ground). Here is the best part....this KR is as stable as you could possibly ask for. Not one time did it pitch, wobble, shutter, or cough, and IT FLEW HANDS OFF. Just thought you guys would like to know......

Or , is it okay to > just paint thr inside of the holes with epoxy? Sleeve them with aluminum or 4130, using just the right thickness wall tubing from Wicks or AS&S to take up all the slop. Epoxy would soften the first time the engine was warmed up with the cowling on and sag.

I have been advised to buy a Dynon 10 because a Dynon 10A will require a separate encoder, but the Dynon 10 will not. This being the case, I am inquiring if there are any Dynon 10 that may be for sale. ( I know the Dynon 10 is no longer in production).
