Final Approach
Got the Whelen Parmetheus landing/taxi light combo today - should be here by Saturday. People will be like "Who is that great American with the LED light?" I will be like "Dunno, but he must be pretty awesome."
They running a special, or are you just rich?
David, Is that YOUR plane, or a family owned plane?
I'm jealous either way.
I'll be interested to see what you think. It's on the list of "nice-to-have" upgrades for the 310 eventually.
It's a night and day difference (and when you turn it on at night it becomes day)
Plus it adds alot to ramp appeal.
A chick magnet
My problem with twin Cessna landing lights has always been the gear/motors, the lights themselves have been fine. I repaired or replaced both landing light motors in my 414A in 2 years/150 hours. replace one in my 421 last year. Cheap plastic gears. I am careful not to extend them until I've gotten full flaps down, under 120 knots.I'll be interested to see what you think. It's on the list of "nice-to-have" upgrades for the 310 eventually.
