Aye, so did I. I also added the strobe/taillight to the rudder as it
didn't cost much more. I also bought my power supply from an internet
site (can't think of the name of it right now.) that cost half as much
as a Whelen aircraft supply and supplies the same power, commit flash,
etc and it turns out to have been made by Whelen! I put the supply in
the tail as many others with CS props have found that they need to add
weight to the tail to get their cg's right. I also am putting in LED
position lights behind Graham's wingtip lenses and will add a 55watt
halogen light to each for recognition and landing lights. (cheap, $30
to two at auto supply stores.)
If anyone wants details, email directly.

Hi Brian,
One consideration you will need to make is the power consumption of the
strobes and lights. If you have 914 which needs an electric fuel pump
then
the electrical demand can approach the limits of the alternator
I put a single strobe on the tail fin and a single position light in the
rudder to reduce the power requirements for this reason.
