Nav Light Controllers


Recommended Posts

Hi folks
I’m building an old L1011 1:144 model and would like to custom install all the navigation lights with the 3 modes functional. 
Taxi mode
Inflight mode
Landing mode
Need to find a controller or circuit board that will allow all light types to function. 
Strobe double flash. 
Anti-collision flash or slow flash
Landing lights
Wing nav green and red solid on
I’ve been experimenting with different sizes and types of lights. 
Making progress but need the controller to make it all come to life. 
Adding some pics of the progress
Does anyone have suggestions on what to use and where to get what I need?
Thanks so much for any help. 

Regards
Mark

Mark,

Nice project! Have you looked up an article about the topic of adding LED lights to aircraft models in Fine Scale Modeler May/June 1984 issue? I think it was pretty basic. I also remember a vendor from the late 1990s to 2000 timeframe who offered custom control boards and chips to do just what you want. I can't remember where it was discussed,  an early airliner bulletin board forum is my first guess. 

HTH,
