Gene,



Great photo, indeed. But now you got me wondering. I assume the bright white light at the nose is a landing light but I don't get the orange lights about mid-span on each wing.... sorta makes it look like a twin.

Tom,



I  stuck a couple of small LED lights on the top of my lift struts.   

They are mounted in a small piece of lexan inserted into the top of  

the strut. They are clear when off, and RED when turned on.

Thanks for the info and photos, Gene. That is very cool. 



I broke my LED "landing" lights recently and do not plan on replacing them, but still have my excellent wing tip strobes. 



do not archive.

Pat,



"Officially" ? ,,,,,,,,,,,,,  simply a man in an office ,,,,,,,, with  

bigger things to worry about.



Unfortunately  "Laws" are sometimes out of sync with reality.

"Laws"  exist for the purpose of the benefit of mankind, not the other  

way around.

Patrick:



Sun sets at 9:23 PM BST in London tonight.



In the States ULs can fly 30 minutes after sundown if they have appropriate 

anticollision light.

Yeah, Thom,



His messages are coming through fine  via e-mail, but not on the web  

for some reason.



Perhaps Matt has a bug to fix in the program somewhere?

Why do you want red lights facing forward? Or to put it another way, why do you want other pilots to be confused? (I can understand doofus Elton John screwing up, as in  "I can see the red tail lights, heading for Spai -ai-ai-ain" but - why are you doing this?

LOL,

Reverend, pray for me.   I can't deny it,  I'm a hopeless renegade.

  But my tail lights are red too. : )

I'm not pretending to be conventional.

I don't mind other pilots being confused as long as they see me.   The  

speed I fly they they may just think I'm backing up.

Red just happened to be the only color I had on hand when I got the  

inspiration to increase my visibility.



I apologize to any pilot I may have succeeded  in  confusing with my  

little red LEDs.

Gene- Nice photo.  I am very surprised at how much those little LED's stand out.  Color aside, how much power do they draw?  Expense?  Definately attention getting.  Probably don't weigh much, either.

THAT confused, eh ?

I guess I could always fly lower but then I'd be a risk of being run  

over by an amish buggy.

Gene:



I think you previously posted this one, or one nearly like it.



Tugs at my heart strings and makes me want to land right there next to you 

all and the gang.



Tremendous contrast in one respect, yet similar thinking and interest on the 

other.

Here is something similar to what I actually used.
