Quick questions...
1. when I built my aileron push tubes I came up short on material.
The tube I had was only 36" long but I needed to make two 22" tubes. I
noticed last night that van's also sells a 48" tube. Did anyone get a 48"
tube and cut it in half or did van's give you two 36" tubes?
2. Has anyone tried using the NOVA X-PAK 904 strobe power supply
instead of the more expensive whelen model? I'm curious to see how it works
in flight. Less than half price is definitely attractive.
Thanks,
Bryan

Bryan,
I believe I received two 36" aileron pushrods from Van's. I know I've got a couple
of cutoffs laying around.
I have the NOVA X-PAK 904 that I plan on using to drive Whelen strobe tubes. I
have the nav/strobe combo in the wingtip and strobe/white light combo for the
tail. While I'm not flying yet I have hooked them up in the shop to see how they
work. Let me tell you, these are bright! The X-pak 904 drives up to four strobe
tubes as two pairs of tubes where each pair flashes together. I hooked up
the wingtips to flash together and the tail as the only strobe on the second
pair. The charge for the wingtips is divided between the two strobes, but the
entire charge for the second pair goes to the single tail strobe and it does
get quite warm after running for a few minutes. I don't recall the power numbers,
but if I remember correctly the output of the strobe supply is close to the
maximum rating on the whelen strobe tube. The tail strobe should be mounted
such that it tolerates high temps and helps dissipate heat. Not a problem when
flying, but could get warm on the ground.

Vans sent me a single 48" that I cut into two. If you look at your parts
list closely you can find the part under sub kit #2, one piece of
ST4130-035x1/2x48-PC. Tom RV9A fuselage, Ohio
