I searched on the FAA website, but I didn't find any documents that
pertain to strobe placement. There must be one somewhere, I seem to
recall seeing something in the FAR/AIM book in the past. Sorry I can't
be of more help at this time. You might give you local FSDO a call and
ask them....

14 CFR 23.1401. If you buy an approved strobe, you should only have to worry
about (b)(2).

Top of the vertical stabilizer is such a standard location, I don't think the
DAR would even give it much thought.

Thanks Ron...I couldn't come up with that one to save my life. For an
amateur built certificate, does any sort of placement have restrictions
or can we do what we want, so to speak?

It's really up to the FAA Inspector/DAR, but most will probably reference Part
91... 91.205(c)(3) requires all US-registered civil aircraft to have an approved
anticollision light system for VFR night flight.
