Someone confirm Taxi and Landing light spec?

A 2010 thread started, but failed to resolve this question. Best I can tell, PAR 36 for Taxi and Par 46 for Landing? No, I take that back ... I can't tell at all.

If you can't tell which 400 version, post a pic. I'm guessing a 400A given the G model, but maybe a B. Either way, it ain't likely a straight 400 (like mine) and is, according to ample research,...

Now we're talking reality. About a year ago I got a quote for 35k, though I can't remember whether it was Garmin or JPI. They're comparable in cost in any case.

Yeah ... if you time it right and keep cycling the gear up and down it's really effective. Maybe the mod we need is one that stops the doors mid cycle, for those long descents.

Gear door removal: birds and other critters?

Wondering if anyone has ever observed an issue with critters since the wheel wells are wide open for weeks on end, and if so whether you have a fix that doesn't involve a hangar.

Mushy brakes

My IA, who has been working with at least two other skymasters, has been struggling with my brakes. Every time he tries to bleed them he struggles to get good pressure at the pedals. The Masters have...

I had a front one that was converted to manual (i.e. motor elimination) before I acquired the plane. I sent out to Skymaster mods & parts (think that's still the Bells, but previously Aviation...

Thanks. I did just that, but always look to the forum first. Commodore is a great service to the community, but it does come at a premium.
