Rob,
I did essentially the same thing you describe with a pair of AeroSun lamps. The only difference is that I just turned them both on all of the time. I want to be seen. I really don't care w ... |

Hello Rob, I think you are overthinking it. By all means aim them differently so that you have the best lighting for both landing and taxi, and using the wig wag function is better than not using the ... |

Ground wires should be the same size as the positive wire. Use 12 AWG.

Going with one of Bob's proven wiring diagrams is a good decision.

Hello everyone. I’ve taken my first stab at the wiring diagram. I based this off of a Rotax 914 because that drawing has the turbo charger electrics depicted. The one thing it doesn’t show is the ... |
