My E has the large round vents front & rear, the dome light is about half way between them and offset about 10" right of center
carusoam Posted March 30, 2018 Report Posted March 30, 2018 Some of the pics don’t seem to be showing..? Especially the last ones... Shu, you get a special award for the effort to make a really cool printed solution! I thought you might find some lighting fixture lenses in the aviation aisle at HD... instead, you made your own? Best regards, -a-

steingar Posted March 30, 2018 Report Posted March 30, 2018 I really, really hate to be the naysayer, but this seems an awful lot like owner produced parts, which are a pretty serious non no on certificated airframes. And its hooked up to ship's electrical power, so its not just "interior decoration". I would seriously get a mechanic involved in the installation of this stuff. If I'm wrong it could cost you a few buck$. If I'm right installing this stuff could render your aircraft unairworthy. Again, I really hate to be saying this. The parts look utterly awesome. Its just that the FAA has never been known to be sanguine about new technology in old airplanes.

Right now it's sitting on my desk at home.
