Re: Wing Tip Nav/Strobes?

I have chosen to go with Aeroled Pulsar NSP for experimentals on the wingtip and the Aveo MiniMax Aerial for the rudder. I found all the other wingtip solutions looked very mechanical with all the LEDs visible inside the unit. I think the Pulsar looks more elegant. The Aveo Aerial is the only rudder solution I found that will fit on the narrow rudder cap of the Sling. All the other options are about 2.25" which is standard for certified planes. Another builder used this same combo and confirmed that the strobe sync worked with the different brands.

Hi Doug - I appreciate the research on stuff like this... it really helps close the gap when I get to that point. I have added these to my list for purchase.

Started running wire for my wing tip lights. How much extra length did you leave on root and tip for the 18AWG wing tip lights? Per the KAI wing assembly, was 6m long enough? 18awg 4 wire braided nav (seems a little overkill, but it was in the kit), 16awg landing taxi, 14awg pitot.

Note: Found this helpful wire size calculator on the vans website https://www.wirebarn.com/Wire-Size-Calc ... ep_41.html

Planning on using he Aveo product line. Powerburst NXT wingtips and tail beacon MiniMax Ariel
