 Posted: Mon Jul 07, 2008 6:03 pm Post subject: Rudder Light Custom Fairing |
 |
|
Has anyone successfully fabricated a rudder light fairing for a 601XL? If so, do you have any details that you could share? I think I may be going with a tail light instead of the combo wing tip lights, and I would like to use the new Kuntzleman round combo tail / strobe light, however the Zenith fiberglass fairing appears to be a little too small for this light fixture.
Craig referred me to an example of a 701 with a nice aluminum fairing, but it was quite large, and I would prefer to keep it as small as possible for the faster 601XL.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

If you want to save power Kuntzleman has a new LED taillight:

Also the fiberglass taillight fairing from Zenith is not a great fit for
some taillights. Others have bent up their own from Al sheet.

Dave,
I fabricated a fairing for my rudder light in aluminum. Look at the empenage section of my website. http://daniel.dempseyfamily.net

All,
I apologize for the error in my web address. It should have said:
http://daniel.dempseyfamily.us
The rudder light fairing is on the empenage page.

Craig, you're exactly right about the tail light fairing. I showed up one morning to build, and Gus had decided he did't like the plastic one the night before, and had whipped up the metal version in very little time.
Perhaps he should offer them as an aftermarket item?
Maybe if he got enough requests through flywithgus.com, he'd consider it...
