I've got cheap strobes too - the ones Steve & Linda sold in kit form
(minus the lighting fixture) for around $35. I ended up buying four. I
use one for a "rotating" beacon on the bottom of the plane (
The length of wire from the power sorce to the light (LED) is not a
problem. Not a lot of current draw, and heat is not a problem if you use a
proper size wire. I would suggest you run shielded wire and ground the
shield at the power source not at the wing tip. This will keep electrical
noise down.
Larry,
We installed also a cheap led strobe. The are also very lightAnd bright.

Larry,
Have you considered replacing your standard position wing tip bulb with one of
the new LED types that works as a strobe or constant light?
Aircraft Spruce has them for approx. $25 and might be a cheap solution.
I bought one to try out and it works great.
I just need to figure out how to get
There are strobe units out there that all you need is a power wire to the
strobe and if you need it to time with the other wing you will need another
wire to hook those two together. They are not cheap there about $300 apiece.

I've been flying with "cheap" strobes for 13 years now, never use them,
and I'm considering upgrading to some aircraft quality strobes. Current
strobes are on the fuselage, top and bottom, but I'd like to mount them
on the wing, piggyback to my position lights.
My concerns: I assume the p

I haven't mounted mine yet, but did a good bit of research and have wiring

Rob,
I saw the following caption under one of your pictures:
The RC Servo trim system was said to be unsafe by the DAR
so in its spot is the ELT remote panel.
Just what did he consider "UNSAFE" about your setup?
Even a total runaway of the system to a limit could
be over-ridden with the contr

I have an Aeroflash single flash 3 way Nav/Strobe/Position light assembly. It

problems mounting the power supplies in the first bay of the wings themselves,
and then sealing the rib back up? This position put
