Kuntzelman Streamlined Strobe

Steve Sampson · #1 03-17-2006, 10:49 AM

I want a streamlined strobe to put on the tip of the VS. I have never seen a Kuntzelman Streamlined Strobe for real and am wondering if anyone else has bought one.

Is it bright?
Does it look OK? (I worry it looks more appropriate for a microlight than a red blooded RV4)
Would you buy it again?
Any other suggestions?

Thanks for your help,
Steve #4478

I have heard that the top mounted strobe is a little bothersome at night due to the panoramic canopy.

I picked one up thinking I would mount it on the belly, but I probably won't use it. The construction seems more appropriate for an ultralight than a 200mph RV.

I have one in the top of my VS. Doesn't affect my flying at night. Its light but simple and works well on an RV.

Mark - Yes a strobe. Is that the Whelan piggy back unit? If so I guess you just made up a base and cut most of the metal away? Thanks, Steve.
