Hi all,



When I was at the PFA rally in 2003 I purchased a nice tear drop shaped

strobe light which I installed on my fin.



Unfortunately the cover either fell off or, more likely was "appropriated"

at I fly in I went to last week.  I'd like to buy another one, but I can't

remember the suppler.  If anyone could hazard a guess as to who the suppler

was along with a WEB page I'd certainly appreciate it.



Thanks,  Paul

Paul...I thought you had a Whelen A500A-14-V on your fin. Are you 

saying you had found a tear drop shaped cover for it?

Paul,



I could sworn you had a Kuntzelman Strobe which you get at www.kestrobes.com 

Click on the button for the online store and you find the spare parts. Spare 

lenses are $10.



But I am not 100% sure. The last time I have seen your plane was about 1 

year ago.

I've not seen your plane but there is a company in the UK called  

airworld who supply teardrop shaped strobe systems - they may well  

have been at the PFA rally. Replacement lenses about 44 GBP I think.   

www.airworlduk.com

Paul,



It could also be a Skyflash from Airworld (UK), they do a strobe system 

that can include a teardrop shaped head.



Their contact details are: http://www.airworlduk.com, tel: 01296 714900

It sounds like your strobe is one from Airworld. The price of 44.70 GBP

is for the complete head, not just the lens. I don't know whether the

lenses are available separately but it might be worth buying the

complete head so you have a spare strobe unit.

As others have said, you most probably bought a Skyflash strobe from

Airworld.  These are actually made by KUNTZLEMAN in the USA and re badged

for the UK.

The strobes sold by Airworld are Kuntzleman strobes, imported from the US.

Plus Pete Smoothy's mark-up!

Paul (McAllister),



Regarding your tail strobe/position light...could you let me know its 

location and orientation on your aircraft?



I have been planning on mounting the Kuntzelman strobe w/ LEDs 

vertically on the rear edge of the rudder; however, after learning that 

if I mounted it this way, the LED's would be pointing up and down 

rather than towards the rear thus being problematic (in terms of 

meeting FAA requirements). After an engaging conversation with Dick 

Kuntzelman, he says he'd be happy to make up a special unit with the 

LEDs pointing to the rear; but before ordering this, I wanted to have a 

better idea of your installation and how you dealt with this issue.
