Whelen informed me today that they are moving this up on the project list.

Excellent news!

Please?  @OSUAV8TER

I talked to the folks at the Sun n Fun Whelen booth. It sounds like they're pretty far along in developing it and had hoped to have it ready in time for this show, but got delayed. It should be ready "soon". The impression I got was "months, not years". So hopefully that's good news.

And they confirmed that there's no better way to find out about it than to be on James's list!

James Gallagher of Gallagher Aviation. Party of 1 although I need to hire Katy, JP (James the III), and William “Liam” Gallagher as W2 employees. Is 3 weeks old too young for little Liam?

Yes, aiming for Oshkosh. I'll have a large PO for them too.

OSH 2022 still achievable for this project ?

I think we will introduce this at Oshkosh but it won't be ready to walk away with. I've seen the prototype and worked with a Mooney owner to fit check it. They had to make some adjustments with the design but are moving out with it. So soon thereafter Oshkosh.

Email me at gallagheraviationllc@gmail.com to express your interest in this and if you want to get on my list for future notifications.

Thank you James.  I should be on your mailing list already

Great news on the Recognition lights! 

Now here's another one for you (and anyone else going to OSH) to hit them up on....  (Unless you have some options!) 

I'm not aware of any "legal" <cough> LED Panel hose lights.  The ones you see in a lot of panel pics.   Can you bring this up to them and see if they'd come up with a solution.  (Would love to say "inexpensive" solution, but don't want to put people into convulsions....)

It covers all of them if you have a recognition light in the wing tip. It will not be STC or TSO certified so installation basis will be a minor alteration. They will be manufactured under WAT’s PMA.

It will be all of the M20M’s, all Ovations (M20R) with the exception of the Ovation Ultras (M20U), all J & K models that had forward facing projector-type recognition lights in the wingtips. Each owner could easily look at their airplanes and see if it applies.

I sent my deposit in five minutes after I got the email while at Oshkosh
