A customer who posts as Ryan Flys on YouTube has published a great video describing the process to build and install a Flyleds The Works kit in his RV-7A, and of course the same process applies to The Essentials kit. If you’re wondering what’s involved with fitting a kit to your wingtips, please click through!
The Flyleds team will be back at EAA Airventure this year along with the crew at Flyboy Accessories at booth 644, diagonally across the way from Van’s Aircraft out at the Homebuilt Aircraft vendor’s area. Look for all the flashing lights!
If you have a tail dragger aircraft then we have the best and brightest light on the market for you! It’s similar to our renowned Seven Stars light but with the top two light modules tilted downwards, so you get light properly aimed for landing and properly aimed for when the tail is on the ground, all in the one light. There’s nothing else like it!
Happy customer Don H wrote up the assembly and installation process in this thread, and had these words to say about them:
I have yet to take photos with both lights installed, but while practising formation flying last Sunday, with me in trail behind Lead, #2 commented he could see the reflection of my lights on the bottom of Lead’s wing. It was a nice bright sunny day.
I’m calling the mission to burn retinas at 10 miles accomplished!
We know our Seven Stars lights are the best lights you can buy on the market, and our happy delighted customers agree.
Vic Syracuse from Base Leg Aviation recently installed a pair on his RV-10.
I think your Seven Stars are a safety upgrade for all night flyers and are quite shockingly fantastic. There is so much light it is like landing in the daytime. Depth perception is there, and the usual procedure for night landings of “flare-and-let-it-settle” was gone. All three landings were squeakers. I even taxied back to take a picture of the runway from the cockpit view. It was amazing! Upon arriving back at my home field (grass) which is usually a black hole, at one hundred-fifty feet over the approach end I could see almost half of the runway!
The new lights exceed my wildest expectations.
