 Wing-tip strobes for single engine 1972 and Later

 excluding any modified wing-tip, There are several things to remember, spare wires were installed at the factory from a switch position on the instrument panel to the farthest rib in each wing-tip. This allows mounting of the power supplies adjacent to the strobe light, which reduces installation time significantly. Wing-tip strobes were also an option in the early 70’s. We estimate that 40%-50% had factory installed systems.
