Stobe lights

[Guest Redair]

Greetings each, I seek advice from anyone who might have installed wingtip strobes onto their Savannah. I have bought a set, (aeroflash, if it is of importance) and wish to know how and where the control units have been fitted. Is it OK to place them inside the wingtip cover, (concerned about weight/handling issues) or should they be mounted inboard, and the wires to the strobes extended?

 

Also, are there any issues with attachment points? That is to say, will drilling mounting holes in the wing ribs or other structures, cause weakness or stress problems?

 

Regards, Redair.

Redair,

 

The mate mounted his power units on a plate cut into the tip. He can remove the plate and withdraw the unit for maintenance. - works well.

Thanks Mark, sounds interesting. Do you have any pictures or drawings of the plate and fittings?

Redair,

 

Will take a photo of the mates wing tips showing the access plate he fixed the unit to within a day or two and post it here.

 

Cheers,

Thanks Mark, that will be a great help. Do you know if your mate has noticed any handling differences with the extra weight out at the wing tips?
