Now I have decided to rid the old tail wheel. I will keep the old wheel bearing block with a modified steering arm. That's the way I can use the push road and the cables without modification. Is a bit heavier as the solution according to Mode 77. But I have had 3.7kg lead in the back as W/B compensation before.

Hi all I have installed bright LED's into the cowling for improved visual conspicuity. When the engine is not running I now have audible breakthrough white noise through the headsets in time with the Skyflash strobe light (which is mounted on the tail). I have had no problems with the strobe system up until now. While flying the white noise was continuous but I was able to partially stop it by altering the intercom squelch. I then found I had no interference on one frequency but still had lots on another frequency. Radio communications do not seem to be affected. The LED and Strobe circuits run off separate contact breaker switches. Radio and Transponder are Trig which work ok up to now. There is no high frequency noise suppresion in the LED wiring. I will try running the power cable through a ferrite ring close to the LED unit. Any suggestions?
