| Subject: | Wingt tip nav/strobe light wiring |
I am about to close up one of my wings but have not purchased the nav/strobe lights
yet. I need to free up some clecoes to finish up the other wing. Could
someone tell me how many wires need to be run and the wire size needed. My plan
is to locate the flash units at the wing tip.

The most important thing to remember about powering your strobes is to run an independant
ground wire back to either your ground buss or the battery. This will
elimnate most of the electrical noise from the strobes. Do not rely on the
airframe as your ground (return) line.
On my installation I ran a red for the Nav lights, Yellow for the strobes, and
a black for the ground. All 18 Ga.
Another option, since you haven't purchased your lighting yet, is the LED based
ones that Zenith is recomending now. Since these are LED based, they do not
have the high voltage Xenon strobe power supply that creates all of the electrical
noise.

| Subject: | Trimming the CH-750 Elevator skins |
Guys, I'm helping a friend of mine kit build a CH-750. We are pretty much ready
to start riveting the elevator skins on. My view of the project tells me that
we should be trimming the elevator nose skins so that they have 10-15mm extending
aft of the spar rivet line. The plans and instructions don't mention trimming
anyplace.
Is the trimming the correct thing to do?
