Electrical System
The electrical system is installed in accordance with the drawings and manual supplied with the
electrical system kit. These drawings and the manual are not available separately. This chapter
will provide you with the necessary preliminary information to proceed with the construction.
Navigation & Strobe Light System
If you wish to install a navigation and strobe light system, you will need to purchase the following:
Whelen A650-PR-14 (or A429-PR-14) Wing Tip Light

Whelen A500-14 Tail Light

The wing tip lights and tail lights are combination navigation position lights and anti-collision

These lights are widely available and may be purchased from many different suppliers. You will
