So one thing I like about new builds is I get to tweak them after the maiden. I picked up a new tail wheel assembly from Ohio superstar products, it is a steel leaf solid asembly with a 3" wheel, much better looking and works great, that little 1-1/2" was just not looking right, although it worked it was to small. Next I am setting up my new navigation lighting. I am replacing the LEDs on the landing light with two 20w 12v halogens, this is on a Rcexl optical switch and for now on a 8v Lilo but I will get a 11v lips soon.

The strobes are on a Rcexl switch with a 8v lilo and will be installed on top and bottom of the fuselage, a third Rcexl switch will operate the red and green 1w 8mm LEDs on the wing tips.

Also I need to open up the cowl a little for cooling. I got a sail plane toe release I need to install too.

I am hoping to get that done this weekend, then off to Kingsbury to their Aerodrom for a spring fly, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
