I was trying to figure out which wing lights are supposed to blink and which if any are to be solid on. I watched a full scale Viper fly and noticed the wing tip lights blinking. The video was not clear enough for me to tell if the red and green lights were on solid and the clear ones were blinking or if they were all blinking on the wing tip. Anyone know for sure what the full scale lights do, on the wing tips?
The Viper Jet has a fixed position light on each 3-light fixture for each wing (red/green) that are solid on, a landing approach light and a anti-collision strobe. Of course, if you're not flying in a scale meet, it probably doesn't really matter what you do with the lights. We've had guys with 4 approach lights (2-per tip) on some Viper Jets plus an added 2 landing lights on the nose gear. With some guys, the more lights, the better. Most of it is just personal preference.
