Whelen Flashing Strobe Install
I had already installed the Red Rudder Cap using the original light fixture. When the power supply went bad it was time to upgrade to the Whelen Strobe for the rudder cap.
Whelen parts: Model A 625 strobe light assembly. Model HTS,CF strobe power supply. Model HS-5 Whelen installation kit/wiring harness.
The install is straight forward however the rudder will need to be rebalanced. The Maintenance Manual covers this well.
A bracket to mount the A 625 light will have to be fabricated as well as the HTS,CF power supply. I used the dimensions outlined on the sketch to make the bracket. As indicated a slot will have to be cut on the rear side of the bracket to allow the wiring harness to pass through.
Additionally a light shield is fabricated and attached to the bracket to shield the strobe light from flashing forward and distracting the pilot.
