Generally, there is no "action" at the mid wing tip loc (at least on a 320), thus my strobe is mounted independently there and sticks out so that all can see it (except for the pilot).  I do not think there is any drag penalty.

 

 

But Scott, I've got to put a nav light on the rudder anyway. It comes with the faring molded in. So I might as well use a compact combo unit such as the Whelen A500. You can replace the incandescent bulb in the tail light with a drop in LED from GS Air.

Bill,

 

Peer intently at this for a while-------

 

 

It seems to me that if one buries the strobe in the wing tip (OK for the +- vertical 75 degrees) the 360 degree rule is not satisfied and you would need a strobe in the tail, maybe doubling also as the rear "white" position light.  I have a friend that did this in his 360 - just don't taxi behind him at night.

 

Hmmmmm.... I don't know if my stick-out strobes perfectly satisfy the requirement at my level six-o'clock........

 

Oh, I did look further down the linked chart and see that I am OK from 1200 feet back and that the buried wing tip strobe setup does require at least one more at the tail.  I also see that my friend's setup is wrong because the strobe system wiring (anti-collision) should be independent from other lighting.  His flashing tail is wired to the position light circuit.  It looks like he should have 2 lights in the tail, position and strobe.

 

Of course you would want the closing F-16s to get a visual on you as you are passing over the White House on a dark and stormy night.
