I'm afraid that a 3D printed part might not bond well to the cowling. On the other hand You could pull a mold and make a vacuum bagged fiberglass or carbon fiber part that is light wieght that should be a simple bond on and finish part. Sounds like a new business venture for Indiana. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibjet Posted December 28, 2019 Report Share Posted December 28, 2019 Hey Indiana, What did you use as a parting agent (how did you keep the carbon fiber from sticking to your mold)? Just curious in case I ever try to do a lay up like that. Thx, ET Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTSW Bob Posted September 10, 2020 Report Share Posted September 10, 2020 Hello- love this thread. Switching to LED makes total sense. I can only run my landing light for a short period, especially with reduced power on landing and idle at taxi before the low voltage alarm is sounding. Using .75 amps with an LED would solve all those problems. So now I’m thinking of taking this to the next level.... I would love to fly all the time with a pulsing landing light that would really make our planes stand out night or day. I found this module for $5 that would pulse the light. I’m thinking a three position landing light switch (off, pulse, on) and a few simple mods behind the switch panel could really add to the safety factor. Here is the module: https://www.superbrightleds.com/moreinfo/strobe-controllers/pulsing-strobe-module/196/846/?utm_campaign=Child+-+Organic+Shopping&utm_source=Vehicle+Lighting+>+LED+Strobe+Controllers&utm_medium=LSC-100B&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIgtPmiuTc6wIVZOyGCh30xQMVEAQYAiABEgLxiPD_BwE What are your opinions? If we could get an approval letter from FD it would be for the light, switch, and module in one shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
