COMING SOON! Please excuse the prototype stage pictures.
Following on from the success of our Combo and Tail Dragger Max lights, Flyleds introduces a light made specifically for Ran's S-21 tail draggers.
(No doubt you'll be able to fit this to other tail dragger aircraft as well, such as Van's RV-15...
For other Van's models please refer to our Combo and Tail Dragger Max lights- you have the room!)
Rather than aiming the light on one wing straight ahead and the light on the other wing low, with two Tail Dragger Skinny lights fitted you get a whole lot of light aimed straight ahead for landing, and you can then still see down both sides of the runway and taxiways when the tail is on the ground.
The dual taxi light module is angled downwards by 20 degrees (fixed) and they are fitted with a wider angle lens, perfectly suited for taxiing.
For 12 volt systems only, the Tail Dragger Skinny has two power inputs. The main input will light all five light modules (~5 amps, 6000 lumens) and the second (optional) Taxi input will light up just the two tilted lights (~2 amps, 2400 lumens). Perfect for taxiing without blinding others!
Two built in diodes light keep the power inputs separated, no issues with one or both being energised.
With our proven linear power supply design there will be no radio or intercom noise. None. Ever.
580grams / 20oz weight.
Main board size is 160 x 76 mm, or 6.3 x 3 inches.
Combine two of these lights with one of our Wigwag solutions (see below) and you will be seen coming for miles.
1: We have a mounting bracket and hardware pack that makes fitting the Flyleds light to the leading edge extruded spar an easy task. +$16
2: We have made a clear lens that allows you to make your own light bays in the Ran's S-21 wing spar. Instructions and templates are supplied for cutting the leading edge and fitting the lens. Our lens is modeled on Ran's design but is wider at 7" across. +$50
Hopefully none, it should bolt right in. Watch this space!
Supplied un-assembled as the completed light PCB, heatsinks and collimating lens, the light requires about 20 minutes of assembly time. (Just one screwdriver required!)
Assembly instructions are available here. (coming soon!)
Our generic light assembly video is shown here. Your light is assembled in a very similar way:
