Interesting story, Jr... Panel lights are nice. The ones in the C152 I used in my primary training were so weak, it was very annoying. Even for dusk flights, it was sometimes hard to see the guages without fixating on them for a few seconds while my eyes adjusted.

You'd think somebody would come up with a good Nulite type solution that uses LED's, they are so bright and use so little current.

I BS'd some with the owner of a local Pacer today, and was eyeballing his plane when I noticed that he had a red nav light mounted on the ceiling of the cabin for a panel light--I thought that was pretty slick! Paint job was a bit rough looking, but otherwise it was a pretty cool airplane: skylight,pilot-side door added, observer doors, rear-seat door eliminated (set up as two seater), VG's,droopy tips,800's, big (77"?) flat prop,plus he's in the process of getting his paperwork approved to convert from yokes to sticks. Quite a little bushplane.
Anybody here flying a Pacer? How's it set up?
