Will,
Recently I was helping an EAA friend looking to night equip his Kitfox 4.
Like you, he had no exterior lighting.
His solution was the Aveo Powerburst wingtip lights. He uses the Ridgid in
dustries SRQ series for attaching to his gear legs. Note on Rigid and othe
r LEDs: They must have cooling air or they will die. Rigid has an interna
l CB to prevent failure.
For just a tail light beacon, Aveo makes a very neat, LED, low drag model.
I asked them last year at Sun =91n Fun for such an item and they came thr
ough. However they have changed it already and I only see it as a certifie
d unit now. I have looked for the unit from last year and cannot find it.
Reasonably priced red tail top light LED flashing unit. It was about $250
. Can=92t find it any longer.
The tail top light will fit the Europa (much better than the Kitfox) and I
have said, they have changed it again this year slightly and it is certifie
d and called the Super Nova FS Titania (Kind of an overreaching name with a
n overreaching price).
I=92ve been happy with their Powerburst wing tip assemblies. No noise, low
power, and work great. Reasonable price. I use the 4 wire #20 gauge wire
s to wire it in. No problem punching the holes for the wire. Heck, I=92ve
drilled a Classic wing for lights, just go slow and take your time.
Bad news is the Aveo are a polycarbonate that is like auto headlights. Ove
r time left outside, they tend to yellow a bit and get hazy. So to keep th
em bright and shiny, learn to buff them with #2 McGuires, or Flitz once a y
ear if you leave your plane out of doors.
Best Regards,
Bud Yerly

Subject: Europa-List: USA Compliant anti collision
I understand that USA requires anti collision strobe.
I am already flying and dont have conduits to the wing tips
I believe that I can place the strobe on the top of tail cant I?
What is the recommendation for a low consumption compliant system?
Many thanks Will
