Frank,
I fitted Aeroleds wingtip strobes to mine and they fit straight onto the Wh
elen mounts. Have a look at
their Web Site. They are beautifully made and are available as TSO'd or E
xperimental.
regards
Trev

Hi Frank
First off follow the old saying "Keep it simple", why four? I have been
flying my europa for 18 months and have not felt the need to increase the
number of xenon strobe lights from the one I have on the tail fin. Having
stated that, as I fly out of a very busy airfield with only an information
service I think I will fit landing light at some time, not so as to see at
night but to show a clear intention that I am planning to land.
A warning though we have landing lights fitted on to our Euro Fox glider tu
g
and all the pilots use them on approach, they were changed recently for led
s
and they were found to emit a lot of RF noise which required one of the
clubs electronic wizards fix.
Best of luck
Richard

Subject: Europa-List: Strobe system
Looking round for a strobe system and well done lots of reading, looked at
lots of different systems and am still confused. I want 4 strobes, 1 per
wing, fin and belly. I wanted to use an LED system and found X1100
Hide-A-LED Modules which if I have understood correctly can be linked up
with up to 20 led's and doesn't require a big power pack as this is built
into each of the leads coming from the LED itself including multi flash
option and they boast 1100+ lumens BUT I have read some reviews from people
who bought them and they aren't impressed saying they are not all that
during daylight and not that bright. Then I thought well just stick to the
normal xenon tube style. Once again building an aircraft is most defiantly
a
learning curve AND a very personal thing so my questions are what are peopl
e
using, xenon or led, do you wish you had the other? If you were or are stil
l
building what advice would you have given yourself in regards to wiring,
positioning (fin or fuselage)!
. Thanks one and all, Frank .
