Default Ztron Wingtip Nav/Strobe test

Nice lights. Very light, bright, easy to hook
up and relatively inexpensive.

I just bought these last week, still waiting for delivery.

What circuit braker size are you using?

Default Perth.

Wow. Perth is a great place. Was there in
1987 for 6 months. Loved it. Of all places
I would like to live, that is top on my list!
Beautiful coast! Great wind! Blew 30 Knts
almost every day. Sailing/windsurfing was some
of the best I've ever done. Traveled as far north as
Calabary.

Wire is Spec. By manuf. as 18g. sheilded. 10 amp is what is recommended by
FAA. 43.13-1b. This is used to power up the Nav/ strobe. The strobe
Switch is used to make contact with the sinc wire and ground and
needs to be separated from your positive bus bar.

I got the full set, wings and tail, but the tail light didnt come with a housing. Its just the dome and a circuit board with two ear tabs. Has anyone come up with a hood mounting method for the tail light? Looks as if another brand housing might work?

I have some photos and dialog on what I did for mine on my website.
