• Strobes, rotating beacons, interior cabin lights, can be placed on separate circuits to turn on and off independently with switch closing sounds.
• Background airfield noises, tower chatter and even recordings of your voice.
• Due to the many variations possible, no prices can be quoted but enquiries are welcome.
• Wiring is done using small gauge magnet wire for unobtrusive installation

	Flicker through the exhaust ports.  Can change from Orange to blue as pilot adjusts fuel mixture.  Includes fiber optic rods.  For inline and radial engines.
	Navigation, landing lights, formation lights, IFF.  Every light on an aircraft can be made to turn on and off independently with synchronized switch sounds.
	Gun barrel flicker with synchronized sounds.  Nose, wings etc.   20mm cannon flicker at a slower rate than .50 cal machine guns.  (comes with flyby sounds)
	Gatling gun with spinning barrel, smoke and gun flicker.  For the A10 Warthog in 1/48 scale or larger.   See video at left for our first prototype.
	Rotating red tail beacon as in A1-H, OV-10, DC-3, etc.  The A1H also had a ventral beacon in front of the tail wheel)
	Cabin overhead, desk and cockpit lights to display your detail.  Any number of interior lights are possible with independent switching.  Pictured is a cabin light above the ball turret in a 1/72 scale B-17G.
	Cockpit and instrumentation lighting.  Radar screens, HUD, instrument dials, switches etc. can all be illuminated.  1/48 scale and larger.
	USN F4 Phantom landing and approach lights.  Angle of Approach – An approach light assembly on the nose gear fairing indicates aircraft AOA to the LSO during a carrier or field carrier or landing approach. The approach light assembly contains three individually controlled lights: red, green, and amber to indicate low, high, or optimum AOA, respectively. The approach light system operates when the landing gear is locked down and the hook is extended. The approach lights can be checked while the aircraft is on deck by setting the approach light switch on the center console from NOR to Test. This causes the light corresponding to the AOA pointer position to come on. Otherwise, the AOA system is automatically activated when the tailhook is dropped.  If the ANTICOLLISION light switches are at WHT and Both or Upper, the white strobe lights will also come on regardless of the position of the exterior lights master switch.
	Strobes and blinking lights       Video of Patrick Fix's Dassault Falcon 10 - Scale 1/48  (2.71Mb)
	For added realism a decay can be added to the light circuit to simulate xenon, halogen, etc. as opposed to incandescent.  LEDs turn off instantly which does not look realistic.  Click on the decay video at left.

Sound Options

The speaker provided with our sound sets is adequate for single engine aircraft in 1/48 scale or smaller.  However, the difference in sound quality with a larger speaker is hefty.  The tradeoff is that the diorama base height has to be increased.

	Any 8 Ω speaker with 15 watts (or less) input can be used with our sound sets.  Simply disconnect the supplied speaker and reconnect matching +/-.  Do not use AC powered speakers.
	External speaker jack can be added to allow for convenient hookup of desktop computer/ipod/walkman type speakers.  Click on the icon at left (larger speaker) to hear the difference in sound quality using a Dell desktop computer speaker
	Background airfield/flight deck noise and pilot to tower chatter can be added to any sound set.  Audio clips from the appropriate period add ambiance to your diorama.
	Background sounds can be added to in-flight models with Doppler using two speakers where the attacker seems to pass from one side to the other.  Flak, bombs dropping etc. increase the hullabaloo.
	Dropping bombs with explosions and drop tank animations with synchronized sound.  For in flight diorama only.
