REFLECTOR: Re: Relector - Landing Lights

[Ron Brown]

No, I mounted my heated pitot where the landing light would normally be.

I can't find any close ups, but here's a picture

I spent a lot of time designing my panel lighting but I don't have enough 
guts to fly out (or actually land) at my home airport, 3000' with tall trees 
on either end.  I took my plane over to Lincoln County which is 5500' for 
the night work.  What a sight!

Tell me about your night flying.

Ronnie
