7.5 Mounting
tailBeaconX is a rear, aft position light. Ensure that when mounted, the fins
and the top of the assembly are free from obstructions. tailBeaconX
requires a clear view of the sky for optimal GPS performance. It may not be
suitable for installation on aircraft where aircraft elevators or other
structures would block visibility to the sky.
tailBeaconX is NOT designed to replace an existing rotating anti-collision
beacon.
Determine if tailBeaconX will be mounted to a fixed surface or a moving
control surface.
If installed on a moving control surface, specific
attention must be paid to proper balance. Refer to the Manufacturer's
Service Manual to determine if balancing is required and for balancing
instructions.
