by Blob Olds

	These photos have text included on photos to illustrate how to build, and where to acquire the lights *Installed on RV-4 Wingtip* Lights are #6220-025-7752A / Aircraft Fuselage Light from [email protected] I paid $199 It has 9 flash patterns, I put a button switch next to the strobe switch pattern Plexi at top shows lights ON to pilot , I used 1/2" Poly tubing from Ace Hardware for the conduit in the wing. Strobe wires a 1 nav light wire +2 landing wires
	*Installed Light Minus Lens Note attach screws strobe wedged in place, black painted at the front of the taillight bulb.*
	*Light as Purchased Note recess so strobe fits inside lens. See other pic for attach screws. Use Van's flush nav lights, and Van's mounting pad for wingtip lights.*
	*How to Trim Light for Use Cut off flange >back of front socket to fit strobe . Tail bulb is GE 631 from WAL-Mart, a double filament single contact, paint front of bulb black.*

Aircraft made between 1957 and 1971 only require 100 candlepower, Whelen units puts out 400 candlepower
