Paul tries his best to keep the battery charged in our hanger for anyone night flying. Please ensure you use the switch with the timer working. At least twice someone twisted the timer to the point where it stuck and discharged the battery that powers the hanger light. If you get caught without a hanger light you can pull your vehicle around to shine into the hanger. This works quite well.

Our two Cessna 172s and Piper Cherokee are owned under a corporate partnership with 38 members. The planes are hangared for better protection from the elements.

HEV has its landing and taxi lights mounted in the wing rather than under the prop. This works well when landing as the lights are aimed to meet a few hundred feet in front. It is not so good when on the ground. When you come to a corner or even a curve in the taxi way it makes the forward path very dark until you complete the full turn. Please be wary of this and watch carefully as you transition from runway 25 to ramp 3. The curve disappears including the reflective beacons. As there are no blue lights, only reflectors, one has to watch carefully.
