I bought a used RV-8 and am trying to identify every piece of hardware and relacement bulbs, fuses etc. to improve the POH and to make maintenance easier. Here is a picture of the right wingtip showing the landing/position/strobe. Can someone tell me whose unit this is and what type of light (HID probably) the landing/taxi light is?
Also, there is just a white position light at the base of the rudder. With this type of wingtip doesn't there also have to be a strobe back there since the stobe coverage does not extend to the tail? Some of the information on Van's website describes a combination position light and strobe on the rudder. Maybe that is what I have. I'll check that tonight. I did see a strobe power supply mounted in the tail underneath the empenage fairings.
