New Kitfox product - tail light housing

[Flybyjim]

Looks great, any plans on other brand setups?

Jim Ott, I've not been involved in the gap seal. John may have better info if you want to drop him a line.

Jim, the base profile is the same for the Whelen and the AeroLED. However, the AeroLED has a long aluminum post hanging off the back that interferes with the rudder structure. We tried to work with them to modify their design and they didn't want to. To make our housing accommodate their light meant that it had to be extended and protrude farther off the aft end of the rudder and was not aestheticly pleasing, in our opinion.

If there is another brand you are thinking of, let me know and I can take a look at it. We have been very pleased with the Whelen and it makes the plane much more visible when behind the airplane....and the light itself is a reasonable price.

Hope that helps.
