Hi!
We are doing some major upgrade to our Piper Arrow 180hp. We are putting in a factory overhauled engine, upgrading the interior to leathcer (seats, panels, new carpeting), installing an S-TEC system 20 one axis autopilot, as well as a new Bendix/King KI208 indicator. This airplane did not come standard with the flashing white lights on the wingtips like the newer ones have. I guess they are called "anti-collision" lights or something like this? Is it possible to install these to this plane? Is there a mod for it? Anyone have any experience with installing them? What are the costs involved in this? Also, do they really make a big difference in visibility to other planes up there? I somehow think I see planes easier that have them on, but I rarely get the chance to see two planes at the same time while flying, one with and one without, so I can't really say... Anyway, any opinions welcome, also ane web sites to piper parts and mods would be appreciated! Thanks, Frode Berg LN-LMR |

I'm sure there's a mod for everything. ![]() have the URL but it's probably easy enough to google and probably obvious). His mods tend to make things faster too. Also, do they really make a big difference in visibility to other planes up there? I think so. Especially at night. Jose -- (for Email, make the obvious changes in my address) |

Thanks, Frode Berg LN-LMR I'm not sure about wingtip strobes, but I know you can add a strobe in the belly. It is visible from 360 degrees around the plane. HTH z |

Whelen wingtip strobes. Check the latest Spruce catalog. Comes with
the STC (if one is needed). When I had the fuel tanks out couple years ago (SB for the fuel lines and such) I had the wiring run to the tips, altho I didn't install the strobes at that time. With the wiring in place, adding the strobes is very simple. Translate that to mean *cheaper* since the lights themselves replace the existing single bulb red/green light unit with the white strobe & r/g position lights. |
