I've seen very few references to this in the search forum, and I'm looking for some help. I bought the system 6 whelan lighting package, and I'm trying to determine the following:
* About how much strobe wire is needed from the p/s to the rudder strobe and from the p/s to the wingtip strobe (assuming power supply is under baggage compartmnet floor)? I am guessing that I would be safe to cut it into three pieces of 20 ft sections (I don't have my fuse to verify).
* Have others cut out a slot in the front of the bottom rudder cap to pass the wires through? I know Walter T. did, and it looks like Dan ran his over the top of the existing rod end opening. I don't want to do that, as it looks like it would rub on my installlation. Is there a problem with just cutting a large hole with grommet?
* Maybe I'm missing it in my installation instructions, but I don't seem to see what the rear position light is rated at (watts). I am assuming 16 guage wire would be more than sufficient for the postion light (not strobe).
THanks,
Scott
