[rebel-builders] Rudder Building

[Bill Smith]

A lot use the combo nav/strobe/position lights on the wingtips that
have the white tail light on the aft side of both tips.

Something like http://www.aeroflash.com/aeroflash_nav_ ... sition.php

or pay twice as much for the same thing in Whelen.

FWIW

Gents,

Well, the first subkit has arrived, and I figure that I will start the process with the rudder. I searched the archives and came up with very little on rudder construction. Before I leap off the diving board here I was wondering:

a. I have not seen any night position (tail) lights on the rudder of the two dozen completed plane photos I have looked at. What have most folks done in terms of preparing for a later tail light installation?

b. Any other hints or tips I need before starting on this subassembly?

Thanks in advance!

Rich,

I think a lot of people are using just wing-tip combination position
lights, usually with strobes too. I'm using the GS-AIR LED combo package
(http://tinyurl.com/e6tp3) for its reliability, very low current drain,
and light weight.

On Super Rebel N96CS, I used combination wing-tip position and strobes;
these have a white "tail-light" on each wing tip. Seems to work great and
uses one less wire that would run the length pf the fuselage and through the
vertical stab. post.
