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 William Daniell LONGPORT +57 310 295 0744 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 01:52:10 PM PST US Subject: Europa-List: Re: USA Compliant anti collision From: "h&jeuropa" Will, Here is a link with the requirements called out. As you can see a tail mounted strobe is fine if it is bright enough, 400 candela. https://www.whelen.com/pb/Aviation/System%20Requirements/Anit-Collision%20Systems.pdf Jim Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=479958#479958 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 05:38:52 PM PST US Subject: Europa-List: Re: USA Compliant anti collision From: "AirEupora" ELECTRONIC POSITION / TAIL LIGHT / ANTICOLLISION LIGHT sold by Aircraft Spruce might work for you. Whelen are good, but they draw about 14 amps when you have the Nav lights and Strobe on. I had to put a 40 Amp on my Jabiru to handle the load for night flights. Your engine only puts out 15 Amps, then when it gets warm it decreases. Read this from EAA Am I required to have anti-collision lights on my homebuilt? No, if you are only going to using your aircraft for day, VFR flight. FAR 91.205 lists the instrument and equipment requirements for standard category aircraft. This FAR does not apply to Experimental-Amateur Built aircraft. If you intend to use your aircraft for either night VFR or IFR flight, you will have to comply with the requirements of FAR 91.205 because the operating limitations you receive as a part of your airworthiness certificate will include the following language: After completion of phase I flight testing, unless appropriately equipped for night and/or instrument flight in accordance with 91.205, this aircraft is to be operated under VFR, day only.
