    The factory demo plane has the landing light mounted just behind the front cowl air scoop that is right in front of the engine (912s) oil pump. Apparently no problems with blocking coolong air flow.

    What type/where did you get your lights? My buddy replaced his stock lights in his Cessna 210. The led lights doesn't produce heat, therefore they get covered with snow/ice and donot work. Not an issue for my flying. Picture of my paint

    Nice job on the paint! I like your paint scheme. I'll be painting my final coats this week.

    I went with Aeroleds.

    The Aerosun (x 2), mine are in a box awaiting retrofit (rainy day project) of the old 55w halogens that are in the wing tips. They are real bright and also feature a wig wag mode for recognition.

    I helped a guy finish a Series V with the SS 7 firewall forward. He wanted the lights below the spinner. We made a mold of fiberglass then plaster and heat formed a piece of acrylic for the lens. The forward facing oil cooler provided the perfect mount. As you can see, the two modules are somewhat offset so one is primarily the landing light and the other a taxi light - tailwheel.

    I made a mold for the aeroled led. Here is a photo what I came up with. Also, I am painting my plane with easypoxy with a foam brush and tip it with same roller. This is only the second coat of paint, one more to come

    I made provision for mounting the Aeroled Microsun, by adding a molded pocket. I made a foam male with alum angle inserts, laid up the fiber glass over that, then removed the foam.
