I finally finished harnessing the sun. It sure took a lot of wiring to do it. :mrgreen:

12 Grote Trilliant lights and harnesses from 2 of those HET lighting kits that are out there right now.

This is how they were mounted on the HETs.

Twice the lights on a truck half the size of a HET.

Interesting.

I have encountered people doing just that.
Yes the Feds prosecuted every one.

Even had one speed straight towards helo (shutdown to fuel) only to swerve away at last second.
He's still in prison.

Only he really knows.
He and some friends cut the airport fence to get in.
Then couldn't find the opening again after his little stunt playing chicken with the Helicopter.
Called police about it, then saddled up and once airborne, stayed over him until the police arrived. Feds showed up too since it was airport.
Watched all festivities from above for a while and also took notes of times, etc.

Grand Jury heard all they needed to and he and front seat passanger (who had a loaded AK type rifle) were each sentenced to 18 years.

Thats just one instance.

Seen a ton of stuff in my 28 years of flying helicopters.

Had extra led recognition lights sitting around so my brother and I installed some on the M925A2.
Huge difference for visibility to other drivers.

Spacing could be a little closer I guess, but happy with the way it turned out.

He's OK, be nice to him, he works hard 6 days a week providing for his family. I modified my post and will be nicer in the public arena. We do it just out of entertainment. I know who my wife sleeps next to each night, no worries there. I went to school in Detroit, nobody is not able to hurt me verbally. We're a little tougher than that around here. I just helped simp for several hours on his for profit delivery job for free on Friday and that went unmentioned.

8.3L A/C bracket kits make great Christmas gifts to other members!
