  1. The blue fluorosilicone o-rings are legal if installed and signed off correctly. They are military specification parts (considered a standard part) and should be signed off with a logbook entry as a minor modification by your mechanic. I've had my fluorosilicone o-rings on my fuel caps for four years now and I have never had a problem. I still sump my tanks when the airplane sits outside over night. You are correct that the inner o-ring is often neglected because it cannot be seen. You have to disassemble the fuel cap to really see what is going on. www.gallagheraviationllc.com/products <--- Order fluorosilicone fuel cap o-ring kits Most Mooney aircraft have the Shaw 431-9R type fuel cap but some also have the Shaw 531-001 or 531-046. All of those fuel caps take the same kit, which is pictured below.
  2. I now have a very healthy inventory of the PAR-36 and PAR-46 lenses in stock and ready to ship! https://www.gallagheraviationllc.com/whelen-aircraft-lighting.html <--- Order here!
  3. Maintain your o-rings! Even if you don't get them from me!
  4. These flush mounted fuel caps are more susceptible to letting water leak in and they have to be maintained in order to help prevent that. That is why Cessna went to a fuel cap that sits over the tank and is not flush mounted. Same with some Piper aircraft. It is much less risky. If you maintain the fuel cap then the risk is less. Even with the fluorosilicone o-rings, you still need to sump your fuel tanks. The hardware in these old fuel caps can wear down and even new o-rings won't stop water from getting in. Be vigilante!
  5. If you're thinking about upgrading your stock incandescent landing light or an older generation LED landing light consider the Whelen Aerospace Technologies (WAT) Parmetheus Pro LED landing light. It comes in a PAR-36 or PAR-46 with dual voltage so any particular light can support your 14V or 28V electrical system. It is nearly twice as bright as the WAT Parmetheus Plus brand and is one of the best bang-for-the buck lights out there. These lights were originally designed for turbine aircraft such as Kingairs, Citations, Challengers, Hawkers, etc. so the quality in design is much higher. That is exemplified with a heat sink on the front of the LED so it does not frost over in icing conditions (assuming it is exposed and not behind a lens). They carry an STC for all piston aircraft and come with a 5 year warranty.The PAR-36 light has been one of my best selling lights. I often sell fellow BTers with nose bowl mounted lights and one on the nose gear a PAR-36 Parmetheus Pro landing light and a PAR-36 Parmetheus Plus taxi light (P36P2T for 28V and P36P1T for 14V).I just installed a pair of the PAR-46 Parmetheus Pro landing lights in my M-35 and there is a noticeable difference between the PAR-46 Parmetheus Plus landing lights and the Pros. I love them.I am working on a YouTube video that highlights the differences between the Parmetheus Plus and the Parmetheus Pro landing lights.You can order them off my website at https://www.gallagheraviationllc.com/wh ... hting.htmlPlease email me any questions or concerns you have at gallagheraviationllc@gmail.com or give our sales department a call at 1.833.425.5288.
  6. The Whelen Aerospace Technologies (WAT) Orion 650E Model is an all-in-one LED forward facing position light with a 90 degree LED strobe light, which is designed for aircraft with enclosed wingtips such as the Mooney Bravo, and Ovation aircraft. These will replace your legacy Whelen A650 position and strobe lights. As your strobe power pack wears out converting to LED is a great time since replacing a wingtip power pack can cost between $600-$800. These are direct replacement lights, can use your existing wiring, and you'll remove your worn out strobe power packs for up to 10,000 hours of hassle free LED reliability. You'll gain more useful load from less weight, a more modern look with the LED lights, and be the envy of the airport! You will need an OR6501GE (14V) or OR6502GE (28V) for the right wing, OR6501RE (14V) or OR6502RE (28V) for your left wing, and an OR5001V (14V) or OR5002V (28V) for your tail light. These lights are FAA PMA/TSO/STC approved and for Mooney models that it does not carry an STC, a logbook entry as a minor modification utilizing AC No: 20-41A “Substitute Technical Standard Order (TSO) Aircraft Equipment will suffice (I can provide). Orders over $500 ship free and there is no sales tax outside of Ohio. They come with a 5 year warranty and you can order from my website at http://www.gallagheraviationllc.com/whelen-aircraft-lighting.html Email me with any questions at gallagheraviationllc@gmail.com or call us at 1-833-425-5288

  9. @Aspen2013 I am a Whelen Aerospace Technologies (WAT) authorized dealer. If you have an A500 tail light, it will have a white incandescent position light and an embedded strobe light with a power pack somewhere near that light. If that power pack is bad, they can run around $800 new. You can buy used ones on eBay for $100-$200 or so but buyer beware. Going to an LED light, I have the Orion 500 LED light for $399.99. gallagheraviationllc@gmail.com <--- Email address http://www.gallagheraviationllc.com/whelen-aircraft-lighting.html <--- My website with WAT LED products
  10. I have an excellent inventory and a wide selection of these LED beacon lights available for sale.If you're not sure what to get, email me at gallagheraviationllc@gmail.comhttp://www.gallagheraviationllc.com/whelen-aircraft-lighting.html <--- Order here!
  11. If you want to keep the existing fixture and just go to an LED nav, a Whelen Chroma bulb will do ($125 a side). It is FAA PMA/TSO/STC approved. If you want a strobe, the Orion 650E is your ticket ($479.99 a side). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. If you're thinking upgrading your old Whelen or Grimes rotating beacon light consider the Whelen Aerospace Technologies (WAT) Orion 360 LED beacon lights. They come in all LED red or a split LED red/white with a couple different bases. For most Mooney applications (usually fuselage mounted) you will need the 3.75" base. These beacon lights are significantly smaller than the WAT 71080 series LED beacon lights and can use your existing wiring for fairly straight forward installations. They come with a 5 year warranty and are FAA PMA/STO/STC for Mooney aircraft. I have sold several to Mooney aircraft for mounting on the belly. For those mounting options, the beacons with the 3.75" base are needed. Orders over $500 ship free and there is no sales tax outside of Ohio.Model numbers:OR36R1W - All LED red beacon with a 3.75" base 14VOR36R2W - All LED red beacon with a 3.75" base 28VOR36S1W - Split LED red/white beacon with a 3.75" base 14VOR36S2W - Split LED red/white beacon with a 3.75" base 28VYou can order them off my website at http://www.gallagheraviationllc.com/whelen-aircraft-lighting.htmlPlease email me any questions or concerns you have at gallagheraviationllc@gmail.com
  13. The Whelen Aerospace Technologies (WAT) Orion 650 Model is an all-in-one LED forward facing position light with a 180 degree LED strobe light. This will replace your legacy Whelen A650 position and strobe light. As your strobe power pack wears out converting to LED is a great time since replacing a wingtip power pack can cost between $600-$800. These are direct replacement lights, can use your existing wiring, and you'll remove your worn out strobe power packs for up to 10,000 hours of hassle free LED reliability. You'll gain more useful load from less weight, a more modern look with the LED lights, and be the envy of the airport! You will need an OR6501G for the right wing, OR6501R for your left wing, and an OR5001V for your tail light. Orders over $500 ship free and there is no sales tax outside of Ohio. They come with a 5 year warranty and you can order from my website at http://www.gallagheraviationllc.com/whelen-aircraft-lighting.html Email me with any questions at gallagheraviationllc@gmail.com
  14. They look great! Your hangar neighbors will be more envious! If anyone is looking for these lights the model numbers are OR5601G, OR6501R and I quote them for $459.99 each. The Orion 500 tail light (OR5001V) is $399.99. Those are the 14V versions.

  15. It's okay, everyone knows Spruce, not many know me and that is something I have to work on. ~ James
  16. An Orion 650 is a direct replacement for this legacy unit. You dump this, the old strobe power packs, and keep your existing wiring. Installation time is probably a few hours maximum for a competent mechanic. LEDs are brighter, last longer, weigh less, and look way better! Many Mooney 20C aircraft take the OR6501G and the OR6501R. Don't forget the OR5001V for the tail! http://www.gallagheraviationllc.com/whelen-aircraft-lighting.html Email me with any questions - gallagheraviationllc@gmail.com

  18. I have 28V and 14V Whelen Aerospace Technologies Orion 500 series LED tail lights available for sale. These are direct replacements for many Beechcraft tail lights and come with a white LED position light embedded with a white LED strobe light. These are phenomenal units and I had this installed on my Bonanza before I became a WAT dealer. Orders over $500 ship free and there is no sales tax outside of the state of Ohio. You can use your existing wiring and installation time for most aircraft is about a half hour. They are FAA PMA/STC/TSO approved. Advertised price is $481 but if you add it to your shopping cart it will provide an updated price.Order at http://www.gallagheraviationllc.com/whelen-aircraft-lighting.htmlNeed a custom quote?

  19. Did you know that your Whelen PAR-36 or PAR-46 Parmetheus LED landing or taxi light has replaceable lenses? These lenses are easily replaceable because they do wear over time. I have new PAR-36 lenses available for $30 and PAR-46 lenses for $36 plus shipping. You can buy them off my website and they are toward the bottom of the web page. I have a limited stock at the moment but I am working on getting more. The PAR-36 lenses work for both the landing light and the taxi light. These lenses also work for the first generation Parmetheus and the second generation Parmetheus Plus lights.http://www.gallagheraviationllc.com/whelen-aircraft-lighting.html <--- Order here!
  20. Folks, I owe you an update. The LED version of this light is in preliminary design work and there is no established time frame. Covid has delayed the project but your inputs have helped this get onto their radar. When you all go to purchase these, don't forget me!
  21. Thank you! She's getting new windows soon too. I'm always restoring her!
  22. Greetings MoonerySpacers! I am proud to announce that Gallagher Aviation is now a Precise Flight dealer of their popular PulseLite 1210 model. I installed this module in N11GG to allow me to pulse my Whelen LED landing and recognition lights as shown in the video below. The module was installed behind my instrument panel and a two way switch was installed (Off and Pulse) allowing me to keep my piano keys intact for the left and right, steady on. What's great about this module is that it allows you maximum flexibilty with setting it up to your desire. It comes with a three way switch (Off, Steady-On, and Pulse) or you can take a different route if you wish. Cost is $499 per unit plus shipping. Bundle it with Whelen LED lights I sell and they will ship for free with no sales tax outside the state of Ohio.Precise Flight's patented Pulselite® technology is the only onboard solution to reduce costly birdstrikes to aircraft. Available and certified for a wide variety of aircraft, large and small, fixed wing and rotor, the Pulselite switch is designed to pulse your aircraft's existing lights.Bird Strike PreventionThe Pulselite® System has been installed on more than 25,000 aircraft of all categories, including airline jets, business jets, general fixed wing aircraft and helicopters. The Pulselite® System serves two purposes - to reduce bird strikes and to increase aircraft recognition for collision avoidance with other aircraft. The Pulselite® System features patented TCAS integration to enhance the margin of safety. Precise Flight's Pulselite switches are installed on some of the world's safest airlines, including Qantas and Alaska Airlines. Research has shown that the planes equipped with the pulselite technology experience up to 60% fewer bird strikes, saving airlines millions of dollars annually, while increasing passenger safety.Make Your Aircraft More VisibleThe greatest benefit of the Pulselite system is found on commercial aircraft. In the air everyday, in all weather and conditions visibility is key to safety. Airlines that pulse their lights exhibit a lower occurrence of near miss events. Air Traffic Controllers and other pilots alike know that pulsing lights make an aircraft much more visible throughout all phases of taxiing and flight.Cost Savings on Existing Aircraft LightingBecause the Pulselite switch modulates your existing lights, it allows the filament and bulb to run at a lower temperature. The bulb retains full rated candle power; less heat, less stress, more visibility. It's a win-win situation. When using landing lights for visibility, you'll experience the highest visual benefit and save on bulb replacements and maintenance.

  24. I have new Whelen Orion 650 LED wingtip position and strobe lights available for sale. They come in 14V and 28V with model numbers OR6501G and OR6501R for 14V lights (G = Green, R = Red), and OR6502G and OR6502R for 28V lamps. These are great for replacing old A650 incandescent position lights with a xenon strobe light. With the installation of the Orion 650 using your existing wiring, you remove old strobe power packs, which will save you weight and increase reliability with each unit. The LED light is much brighter and draws a lesser load on your electrical system. These are sealed lights so they can weather harsh conditions while sitting outside and they come with a 5 year warranty. All orders over $500 ship for free and if you do not live in the great state of Ohio, they are sales tax free. Consider upgrading your LED lights to these http://www.gallagheraviationllc.com/whelen-aircraft-lighting.html <--- Order here gallagheraviationllc@gmail.com <--- Don't know what to get?
