Landing light mounting template for CH-701 slat

Hello All. I'm looking to hear from all of you that have mounted LED landing/taxi lights in your 701 slats.

I'm ready to cut the holes in the leading edge of the slats and want to make sure I get them in the correct location.

Can anyone give me measurements of the hole size you used, and where it is located?

A measurement from the trailing edge to the top of the cut out would be a great starting point. The distance inboard from the tip, as well as the size of the hole you cut in to the skin.

I'm using the AeroLED Microsun lights.

I just want to get the alignment right so the lights project correctly for taxi and landing.

Thanks in advance.

Peter

So... I decided to strike out on my own and design my own slat landing/taxi light system.

I think it turned out well.

I laid out all the drawings in CAD so if anyone else wants the cut out templates, I can send them to you.

Hello P. Richards,

I saw your posting last year when I took delivery of my CH701 kit.  I'm at that time to purchase and install landing lights.  My research has lead me back to your design and offer of having the templets emailed.

If your offer is still good I would like to receive a set.  My email is Glennrs@ymail.com.

Thank you.

Glenn
