I've had Kuntzlman strobes on mine since 2003, no problems yet with em.

Hi Russ,



Strobes?  Going to do some night flying? we have to be on the ground by 

sunset over here. VFR only.



Sounds as though you are making progress. Lets have an update.

Pat,

I run wingtip strobes during every flight as an anti collision measure. Anything I can do to see and be seen is a plus.

I just got an Ad from Aircraft Spruce today for a new manufacturer that has some new and reasonably priced LED Nav and Strobe lights. I also have a circuit for the DIY people that might want to build their own strobes that I have been running on my Firefly successfully for 2 years now. I used teardrop shape Motorcycle marker lights, pulled the guts out and installed my own High power LEDS inside for the strobe heads.  I have 50 bucks or less into my strobes. Anybody interested in the circuit can E-mail me off list and I'll send a copy of the schematic. It would make a fun winter hobby project for somebody.  The Aircraft Spruce price looks attractive though as well.

I put strobes on the wingtips of Ed's FSII when I rebuilt it, they turned out nicely. This is from the archives.

If I had it to do over, I would have bent the counterweight tubes to lay closer to the wingtips. But it looks good and fly's good.
