Hey All!


Ever since I've owned my Yak, I've wanted to install a landing light. I feel like I struggle with night landings when the runway surface is not lit by my aircraft. I've never found a particularly suitable external installation, so I am kicking around the idea of a wing-mounted retractable type - Cessna 310 models look like they'd work well. Has anyone else done this and / or would anyone be able to offer tips on location / model, etc?


So happy to see the snow dwindling in WI! Soon, it will be our yearly 3 weeks of decent flying weather!! 🙂

Baja design lights are small and very powerful. One can be easily adapted to the nose gear.
