Thanks, Ron.



That is a common sense approach. I wish my CAD skills were good enough to 

do the same.

		  Gentlemen, I have just used a CAD system and drew up what you are trying 

to do.  It works with lots of clearance if the lights are at the furthest 

point out and as high on the wing tip as you can get them.  I also made 

mine perpendicular to earth so there will be good coverage above and 

below.  I am using the AeroFlash units but the solution is still the same.

It is good to hear that you are going to Oshkosh. While you're there, 

compare the mount of the GS-Air combos (Thank you Pete--From catalog 

displays I'd say they are identical to the Kunzleman's) on the Jabiru 

models with the mount location on the 601XL. I think that you'll conclude 

(as I did) that, if it's legal on the Jabiru, then it will be legal on the 

601XL. That said, it never hurts (except for weight) to err on the side of 

visibility, so your plan to go with the 3-location light system is sound.

Hi Ron,



Thanks for your reply.



Length and width are not an issue.  The mounting base is much larger than

the base of these small light fixtures.  However, the standoff from the

wingtip is an issue.



To your point, it is my plan to study the possibility of building up the

mounting base on the wingtip fairings when I look at completed aircraft at

Oshkosh.  However if it will require an overly long standoff, which would

look bad and potentially interfere with the aerodynamics of the Hornier

wingtips, then I will opt to install the third tail light instead.



By the way, I will probably get the satisfaction of creating and executing

my own design in either case, because if I go with the tail light, I will

probably have to custom make a rudder fairing.  Jeff Small was good enough

to share his techniques for doing fiberglass molds and layups, and is

answering any questions I have - "See, Learn, Do".



Regards,

Dave

The Kuntzleman strobes are most certain NOT the same as the GS Air ones. I

have the GS Air product and have seen the Kuntzleman units in person. Take a

look at the pictures:



www.kestrobes.com/



www.gs-air.com



IMHO the Kuntzleman strobes are superior. For one thing the strobe tube

sticks out beyond the LEDs so it can actually be seen from the front or

rear. For another there is more metal in them.
