My name is Henk Menger, 72yo and living in the Netherlands. My hobby is building, scale 1:32, model planes. I install in al my projects an ATMEGA328P microprocessor the control the nav lights, canopy open/closing and more other things (I was an DEC field service engineer for many years).

If the lights were the steady or blinking .. for sure the steady type. But if could blink , there is no info found.



and the nav light at the port wing tip ...
