Lynn,
I have one of these on the nose strut of my IV-P… as a taxi light.
It’s bolted to the stainless “closeout plate” that separates
the engine compartment from the nose gear well when the gear is retracted.
Works well. You’ll need to check clearances in the retracted position,
but you can get just a bit more retraction, if needed, by cutting off the
bumper block so the gear will retract just a bit more. …This requires
resetting the gear door linkage; perhaps other things??? DO NOT TRY THIS unless
you can also do a good retraction test.
I did replace the
bulb last week…it burned out after 18 months/360 hours on the
airplane…probably not more than a couple of hours of “on”
operation. I suspect a couple of firm touchdowns of the nose wheel when I
landed “on speed” with it on contributed to a shorter than normal
life span for this bulb. I can’t hold the nose off the ground if I touch
down below 90 kts..which I do for short field landings…

Has anyone installed a “Tim
Ong” landing light on the nose strut of a Legacy? I would like to know if
there is an interference problem. If you have any information, I would
appreciate hearing about it.
Has anyone put any kind of taxi light on
the nose strut?
Thanks,
