Steven Pate of El Paso Texas has won a Free 'BoomBeam' prize from Lopresti SpeedMods. The BoomBeam prize is awarded by a random drawing of registered LoPresti newsletter recipients.

Steve started flying in 1970 and over the years has advanced to a commercial certificate with SMELS/Glider/Instrument airplane private privileges for helicopters and is a CFI/MEI/CFII, as well as flying as a Mission Pilot for the Civil Air Patrol.

His current airplane is a 1978 Arrow III that he has been gradually upgrading with new avionics and airframe modifications including 'Speed Spats.'

“I was very impressed with the looks, engineering and performance of the SPATS and even more important than the airframe mods is the ability to see and be seen, " said Steve, "the new BoomBeam will certainly make a great contribution to that end. I really wanted the BoomBeam but I just kept putting off making the purchase but now I have my eye on the LoPresti Cowling."

loprsti says the Boom Beam HID lighting systems improve lighting in most cases by more than 500% and consists of a power supply, shielded high voltage wire harness, plug in HID lamp, mounting hardware, and a choice of lens reflector assemblies.

These systems are available in 14 and 28 volt certified versions with pricing from $948. Non certified systems from $449.
