This is a forward off the RV-list. Thought some KR guys might be
interested.

Well, after a few delays, including learning how to use the latest
printed circuit board (PCB) design software, the prototype LED position
lights are complete and working perfectly. I tested the finished units and
they put out more than enough light in all directions to meet FAA specs.
Here is a link to the write-up with some pictures:
<http://www.KillaCycle.com/Lights.htm>
The prototype board is designed to lay flat against the aft wall
of the Vans sheared tip interior space. It's important to note that the
actual physical lay-out of the components is quite fluid. That is, as long
as each of the LEDs is pointing in the direction it needs to, it is
possible to move any of the components wherever you would like or re-shape
the board completely.
The next iteration of current regulator PCBs will be considerably
more compact. I thought I might need de-coupling capacitors, so I put in
pads for them on the prototype PCBs. However, the circuit works fine
without them so I will eliminate the pads (and the space they occupy) on
the next design iteration.
