'We, EAA 1250, decided to inventory the 2nd aircraft and try to sell it as a whole project. That way, we'll be sure to have all the parts to finish the first aircraft.

Each pole is rated for 7 amp lamp load and since there are four poles, it can handle a 28 amp lamp load when I parallel the connections. Our landing light ...

'Our local EAA chapter is restoring a 12 volt Fairchild F 24. Anyone now what modern make / model of switch is used to switch on incandescent bulbs, e.g. landing light. For example the parts list, for a 24 volt version, lists an AN3018 switch. However, currents are doubled in the 12 volt version: 15 ...
