Alternative to the Boom Beam?
Is there one?
I would like a brighter landing light -- but I ain't paying $800 for it! -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

You could install the Xevision system under a 337.

usually about $25, instead of $10. I haven't run anything but Q4509s since '98. They're better, and last longer -- but they still suck. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Some people have problems with this. I put the halogen in my Maule and don't like them much at all. They're great on short final, but don't illuminate anything useful much once the tail's down.

It's a shame that 235's can't use the ones that mount in the wingtips. I'm sure someone must make a kit for the Cherokees. --- Jay -- __!__ Jay and Teresa Masino ___(_)___ http://www2.ari.net/jmasino ! ! ! http://www.oceancityairport.com http://www.oc-adolfos.com |

Don't forget to measure the cable-run distance from where you can install the ballast to where the light will be. If you don't tell them that length you'll get a too-short cable. |

Yep, the RMD HID kit, half the price, STC'd for your Cherokee. http://www.rmdaircraft.com/ Bob DeBorde (RMD) had the patience of a german elf answering all of my questions before I finally bought the kits for my Skylane. They work great, and they are super bright. Very pleased with the product and the service. -jav |
