Vilvens24 Posted April 27, 2021 Report Share Posted April 27, 2021 1968 G, I thought it was for a LoPresti Boom Beam, but I don’t see any reference to it in the stc install or stc guide. And the element in the bulb seems to be burn out so I have no way of checking. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMM Posted April 27, 2021 Report Share Posted April 27, 2021 Interesting knob. Take a look at the bottom of this page. Looks like a Knots2U Mod but I have no idea what it does. https://www.knots2u.net/categories/mooney-aircraft-models/lighting/landing-taxi-lights.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vilvens24 Posted April 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2021 Thank you sir, looks like it turns my G into a disco ball. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 27, 2021 Report Share Posted April 27, 2021 That looks like a Max Pulse light control for your landing light. It’s selectable for pulse rate. Clarence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A64Pilot Posted April 27, 2021 Report Share Posted April 27, 2021 (edited) It’s a max pulse light controller, however I’ve never seen such a nice placard on the panel, the Maxpulse comes with a cheesey black card that goes under the switch. AC Spruce shows the cheesy card well, I’d like to know how the placard was done on your airplane. does anyone know? https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/elpages/1105737_stc.php Edited April 27, 2021 by A64Pilot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1964-M20E Posted April 27, 2021 Report Share Posted April 27, 2021 looks like a custom instrument panel with screen printing. Nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carusoam Posted April 29, 2021 Report Share Posted April 29, 2021 For all the fancy disco options... X = Both Circuits Off S = Starboard (right) on only P = Port (left) on only S+P = Both circuits on A44 = Alternate 44 PPM B44 = Both Flash 44 PPM A88 = Alternate 88 PPM A120 = Alternate 120 PPM Best regards, -a- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesm Posted April 29, 2021 Report Share Posted April 29, 2021 The funky thing about that landing light controller is that if you have A single circuit i.e. landing light and no taxi light It doesn't do anything on "S" starboard position. Don't why they did not a make a single light option or have a jumper for the taxi "S" position so the light is on when that position is selected.

If a company can use one part, without any changes to it, for multiple jobs, it is a big money saver. 20 or so years ago, a study at Ford showed that just by eliminating a part number from their inventory would save the company $1,000,000 per year.

It's so you can light up your turn when on the taxi way! /end sarcasm/attempt at being funny Having both on would be much more helpful!

Vilvens24 Posted April 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2021 Upon further review, that knob does about 6 different strobe light patterns. Wayyyyyyy overkill, but it came like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carusoam Posted April 30, 2021 Report Share Posted April 30, 2021 As far as the false economics of minimum part numbers goes... GM changed the design of their ignition switch... and left the part number the same... Somebody got called out for hiding the evidence... the original design was proven to kill people when the keys fell out... The new design stopped the killing... but didn’t change anything for the old owners... Use caution when trying to save money on this tiny scale... Somebody invented the internet, and the cloud... to save so much money these bad decisions don’t need to be made any longer...
