Default Anyone installed a landing light flasher?

Thanks for letting me know Jim. I've got lots of project to keep me busy
also.

Mike ... I've got some work that is going to keep me out of commission for
about a week. I haven't gotten your SASE yet and I'm about to start that
week. Don't think I've forgotten about you.

Jim

Thanks to everyone for the feedback. I'll post my own experiences when I
get the flasher circuit built and installed.

I installed AvTek's Pulsar on our Pathfinder a couple of years ago. It
works great in conjunction with our wingtip landing lights, wig-wagging
them so that we look like a 737 on short final.

AvTek's owner (Mike Peter) is fantastic to work with. We managed to
hook
it up backwards and blew out the mosfet circuitry. No problem -- mailed
it back to Mike, he repaired and mailed it back -- no charge. He's
truly
one of the good guys in GA, and he caters to Cherokee owners. (By the
way -- contact him directly through his website -- he'll beat that $320
price by a long ways.)

Although it sounds like you got the best deal of all from Jim -- it's
hard
to beat free!

:-)

Forget that "30 minutes to install" stuff. Mine said TWENTY minutes on
the packaging -- and it took more like half a day. Any time you try to
do
ANYTHING behind the panel of a 30+ year old Cherokee, it's a cluster
f*ck,
and hooking these *******s up means connecting little-bitty wires to the
back-side of the landing light switch. That, my friend, is no fun at
all,
unless you have teeny-tiny fingers and don't mind doing a 30-minute
half-sit-up while working 14 inches from your face with cruddy lighting.

Still, it was well worth the effort. We hear from controllers and other
traffic about how noticeable we are -- and that's what it's for.
