I had my first extended (2nd night flight in the RV) night flight coming back from OSH and found several things I would like to put on my "to do" list.
The strobe flashing was pretty visible and got kind of annoying, has anyone done anything to minimize the flashing in the cockpit? The standard whelen strobe lights are mounted per plans in the cutout on the front of the newer style wingtip. Only pic I could find of the wingtip lights was when I was calibrating fuel tanks.
I did dim the G3X several times to get it to a comfortable level. I installed one of these dimmer switches http://www.kicklighting.com/PWM-dimmer-switch-for-LED.htm to run a led light strip. Great for illuminating the whole cockpit for entry and exit but the dimmest setting is so bright I can't see outside while flying. Is there a way I can reduce the voltage to this switch so it will dim further?
I installed the duckworks leading edge HID 50W in the left wing and 75W in the right and they are pretty awesome. I was lighting up the runway like daylight 300 feet up on 1/4 mile final.
