>>Is it possible to use fuselage mounted strobes on the top and bottom of the
fuselage,<<
MOst people seem to be opting for a fin mounted strobe. No reason I can see why
you shouldn't put another one underneath the fuselage. The main consideration is
interference with the coms and GPS signals, so get it as far away as possible.
We put the Whelen power unit below the tail mass balance unit, 1/2 way to the
tail. We still get interference on a handheld. Haven't tested the KLX 135 yet.
Tomorrow, probably.
>>We are discussing the idea of covering the wing tips in bid,<<
The plans specify BID, so I'm not sure what the question is. You could use UNI
at 45 deg but there's not a lot of point. Structurally the only consideration is
mechanical damage, except for the torsion from the aileron hinge.
