Since one of the pre-flight check list items for C-152s and C-172s (and
probably others) is to check for ammeter flicker by momentarily actuating
the flap motor, these symptoms are probably normal.
However, for a better answer I suggest you post this query to the
AeroElectric-List for your Wichita neighbor Robert L. Nuckolls, III at
nuckolls@aeroelectric.com This is a very good group for all things
electric, and Bob is particularly helpful.

Subject: Pulsing Instruments
I have noticed that whenever I turn on my Strobes the current draw is
noticeable in as much as all the instruments pulse - voltmeter, engine
instruments, tacho even the panel and instrument backlighting which is kind
of weird to look at!
Everything is powered from a power panel including the strobes.
Should I have wired the strobes differently?
Any ideas would be appreciated.
