Default Perihelion Designs

I have Wig Wag flasher set up on my landing and taxi lights. I really like them and many people comment on their visibility from far away. Didn't use the ones in your link, used Perihelion Designs one:

Works great and all built into the switch. Easy installation. Company has some other unique products also. I used the NASA switch guards also.

Here's a cheaper way: http://strobesnmore.com/nova-flash-1...t-flasher.html

I've had one of these going full-time in my RV-6 for all of its 213 hours. Lightweight and no radio noise.

Thumbs up Cheap and simple

I am using this one: http://www.bandcspecialty.com/cgi-bi...0X358218#ssf-1
It works, but I am not flying yet, so no real-world, long time, experience. Cheap though!, light and simple also!

Regards, Tonny.

I have used the B&C flasher on multiple airplanes. It works fine. No RF noise.
