Default Airplane Accessories

I am most sure that this topic has already been discussed, but I can't find it anywhere here, or on the internet.

Is there any company that makes "ACTUAL" mini-strobe lights for the safety and navigations lights for R/C models?

I don't want LED's.... and I have already come across a few sites that tell you how to make one out of camera flashes.

C'mon boys! One of you out there should know....

Thank you!

Bijoux;

I have been using one for years. Has a small U shaped Xenon bulb powered by a Highvoltage inverter and uses a 3.6 Volt Nicad pack. It's very bright.

It is still in a plane and I can't find my paperwork for it at the moment which means I don't remember who made it. It was popular a few years back. Maybe they still are available. Someone around here should know. It might be McDaniels R/C. I see that Tower doesn't list that company anymore.

I'm also sure that you don't want a strobe on the NAV lights, but the new super bright LED's work great there. I would use a small flashlight lens and bulb for a landing light.

Sorry can't be more of a help....

Here is a link to a listing of what Tower Hobbies carries.

There are probably lots of others available but I did the easy search.

Thank you carrellh, they have what I am looking for! And, Old-Pilot, I didn't mean to include the Navigation lights, I just meant the safety lights. ThankS!
