Hi! Tom & Cathy again.
I can't help about the BMW question but why not go for 6 cylinders for
inatance , a Jabiru 3300 !!! However , on the question of Nav lights and
Strobe I got fixed up by John Bourn of Goldwing Aviation Ltd.
He was producing molded lenses for the MKI wing and he does a good strobe
kit but 'not for free'!!!! I saw him at Cranfield and I believe he said he
is getting a similar mold made for the XS . Beware though since it is
absolutely 'mind blowing ' to cut the wing tip to the right dimensions to
recieve the lens.( lots of filing and I had two lenses wasted)
His 'phone is 0044 1992 524722 Fax. 0044 1992 524 723 and he is most
obliging . I think he is also on the Europa internet circuit so he just
may get in touch with you before you get this.
Regards
Bob Harrison 337 G-PTAG

Hi Builders
Nine months ago in Europa Aircraft News 12, we were informed that a
package of wing tip strobe and navigation lights were being developed
to be mounted behind lenses in the wing tip leading edges to fit the xs
tips. They were to be available in early 1999. I am a half world away
and have not heard anything about them..
I am at the point of needing them now. Has any one any information about
them? If the factory has failed, (again?) does anyone know of any
subsitutes?
John Moran tells me that someone in Germany has solved the BMW problem.
Can anyone give me a person to contact about a prsu for the BMW cylce
engine?
Many Thanks,
A very over heated Yank at OSH.
